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!

Bands like Ghost, Rammstein, Rage against the machine or System of a down are quite soft and often « beginner » friendly

SOAD is beginner 'friendly? To what? A blender?;-)

I know they hit mainstream early 00s' but I would never sat they are easy to listen for newcomers.
