Top 10 Best Keyboards and Piano parts in Metal Songs

if you're asking where is your favorite band please keep in mind that this top is subjective (like any other top that is not based on statistics,sales,demographics,etc.) and is a top of best keyboard an piano parts in songs not a top of best solos(that's what the title says).
Enjoy :)

This video changed my life 8 years ago, as strange as it may sound.After taking piano lessons for some years, I had gotten to the point where I was not much interested.After discovering this video, randomly searching youtube, I understood how much versatile can piano/keyboards become and how they could fit in a genre I really loved and made me discover great subgenres(Power Metal, Symphonic Metal, Melodic Death metal etc.).Since then, I started practicing/playing and composing on the keyboards more seriously and nonstop.Thus, I feel really glad this video is still online reminding me these great times.Thank you uploader!

Sonata arctica.... yes, so underrated

[darkie]

The Icipher keyboard part is just unreal.. brings instant eargasm tbh ..

[EllipsisGH]

Terminus will always be my favorite, but the intro for Children of Bodom's In Your Face is pretty fucking incredible.

[JRocketLawrence]

Wintersun is another epic band with really good keyboard, give them and Adagio a listen I don't think you'll be disappointed...enjoyed the list you posted though

[ifftpsx]

very fucking great list .. thanks Angel :)

[HendrikdeSmidt]

Vadim Pruzanov of Dragonforce, Lost Souls in Endless Time

[Charles_Anthony]

Dude, Pasi Hitula should be number one on this list. The guy did both Eternal Tears of Sorrow keys and early Kalmah keys. Guy was a legend!

[SparkShredder]

Do also listen to Theatres Des Vampires, Vampiria, Cradle of Filth, Faerghail...and umm...Arcturus, Anthellion, Fear of Eternity...Rhapsody of Fire, Artension...etc...those have nice keyboard/piano parts...I myself am a keyboardist...:) Nice list though...:)

[TimmyScandi]

@JRocketLawrence Yes and I had a chat with Jari, the mind behind wintersun and in the new album they will use lots of piano parts, can't wait for the album

Cathode Ray Sunshine - dark tranquility has a great keyboard play

[ThrashPowerMetalGuy]

Amazing list. I can proudly say that I can play most of these songs, with the exception of "Dead To The World". Been working at it since I first started playing piano, and still can't play it.

[jager]

What about the solos in Kiss the Shadows by CoB?

[thecookchef]

Norther, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish and Dark Tranquility.... Wow! Nice Taste!!

[xLovepie]

I would really like to learn the intro for Terminus on Piano! Anyone know any tabs/videos on how to learn it??

[zsjb_]

No dimmu borgir? In death's embrace, the insight and the catharsis and many more come to mind

[Sujjin]

I'm trying so hard to find this song that starts with a minute long piano solo that softly ends before the guitar smashes in letting you know it's a metal song. Ot was from the earlier 00's I think but I cant find it 😭

[psykosauron]

@psykosauron and imho, Mordreds Song < The age of False inoccence

[andrijab.]

Tuomas I'm percussion/drum player but I love play Nightwish on keyboards!!!! \m/
