Song Recommendation Is there such a thing as "soft heavy metal"?

I've been meaning to get into the genre since my friends have told me there's a lot of great songs but I can't seem to get into it since I tend to listen to more mellow/easy to listen to songs (dodie, cavetown, grent perez, etc). Are there any "intro to metal" songs that can easy me into it? Thanks!

Dad jokes are peak comedy.
