I wasn't being completely serious about Schubert's music being metal. However, neither of those two songs would be out of place on a doom metal album. The themes (especially in Erlkoenig) are completely metal: riding through a storm at night, menacing supernatural beings, and death.

Cirith Ungol had 'Toccata in D Minor' on their King of the Dead album.

I remember listening to someone's record by Erlkoenig (the band) a long time ago. Good, but I don't remember much else.
