Best Metal Songs that Tell a Story

The Top Ten
1 The Trooper - Iron Maiden

More likely a story of a soldier.

2 Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden

I was surprised it wasn't on the list. I believe it should be at #1 - for being such a great song and for the story it tells.

3 Tornado of Souls - Megadeth
4 War Pigs - Black Sabbath
5 Aces High - Iron Maiden
6 Creeping Death - Metallica
7 And Then There Was Silence - Blind Guardian
8 Painkiller - Judas Priest
9 Fade To Black - Metallica
10 Alison Hell - Annihilator
The Contenders
11 Dante's Inferno - Iced Earth
12 The Pursuit of Vikings - Amon Amarth
13 Beyond the Realms of Death - Judas Priest

This song has more storytelling qualities than Painkiller. It's a suicide song.

14 Raining Blood - Slayer

One of the most iconic metal songs but it's not exactly a song telling a story.

15 The Throne - Blind Guardian
16 Black Metal - Venom
17 Smoke On the Water - Deep Purple
18 Fiddler on the Green - Demons & Wizards
19 Mirror Mirror - Blind Guardian
