Try listening to Vermellion v2 by Slipknot. Does sound ironic if you haven't actually heard the song cause the band is of Nu Metal. Just take the song for a spin and see if it works.
And long time, Emonime!
Yes! If your looking for something slow try "Harder Than You Know" by Escape The Fate. It's slow and really emotional so some people may not like it but it really has deep meaning into it.
