Everything about this song is great and I just love it, but the thing about it is that it’s got that ’80s metal gallop. #3: ”It’s a Sin” – Actually ( Pet Shop Boys) - This song has actually already received a metal cover courtesy of Graveworm, but it still pops into my mind whenever I think about the best non-metal metal songs. A really brilliant track that I have returned to a million times in my life. There’s something just soul crushing about this song that only the most brutal of funeral doom bands could pull off-only by a drunken southerner who loved Jesus almost as much as he loved whiskey. #4: ”Casey’s Last Ride” – Kris Kristofferson ( Kris Kristofferson) - This song is dying to be covered by a great doom band. Needs good vocals and a downtuned 7 string. The lyrics here are also really quite brutal, as well. That peak in the middle is amazing and done by the right kind of dark metal band, and you could really feel this one. #5: “My Medea” – Warm Strangers ( Vienna Teng) - This song is seriously epic and dark. The section at 1:30 is particularly ripe for the picking. “My future’s starting / I’ve got to let it…” I love it. Anyway, the section from 0:52 is metal as shit. Actually, this whole musical is fucking genius if you’re into that sort of thing. What would make that metal? Well, give me a couple distorted guitars and some heavier drums and you’d be on the right track. I love the lyrics, too, and the performance is great. This is probably the least metal of the tracks I’m putting up here, but I’ve always thought that the section at 0:52 was remarkably metal. #ish: ”The Meek Shall Inherit” – Little Shop of Horrors (Original Soundtrack) - OK. Here’s five such tracks that appeal to me because they’re fucking metal, even though they don’t know it. Sometimes it’s the epic nature of the songs or the doomy depths. So what is it? Well, sometimes it’s the driving rhythm (see: ’80s pop) that happens to be Iron Maiden’s famous gallop. Anathema’s last record is a great example of that. I have previously said that certain bands do shit that is really metal even though they’re not playing metal.
