Have you heard these Ministry albums?

The Land of Rape and Honey
The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ (Psalm 69)

The more recent ones are definitely more metal than these, but these are heavy also and the peak of their career.

For some reason some of Ministry's stuff (Filth Pig is the album I have) reminds of Perfect Cricle's Mer de Noms, but it's probably just me lol
Anyone know stuff similar to HORSE the Band, but not so harsh/crude?

Though I’m happy with my library of metal, I’ve come to the realization that I also want some mellower stuff. I realized that the slower songs that really touch me deep share some characteristics. I’d really like more music like Kansas’s Dust in the Wind, Aerosmith’s Dream On, System of a Down’s Lost in Hollywood, Metallica’s The Unforgiven, The Beatles' In My Life, Nightwish’s The Islander, and Blind Guardian’s Harvest of Sorrow.

They’re all (to me) sweetly melancholic, and many are acoustic. I'd like to find a band/bands that focus on that sort of music, but I have absolutely no idea where to start looking. Suggestions would be muchly appreciated.

I've been on a quest for a while to find good folk metal without harsh vocals. It's not that easy. Skyclad fits the bill, but many of their songs are meh (but you should definitely check out "Anotherdrinkingsong" and the new recordings of "Spinning Jenny" and "Penny Dreadful"--they're excellent). Falconer is mainly power metal, but with folk influences--they're good but not great.

Finally, you have to hear Equilibrium's "Mana." 16 minutes of epic, instrumental folk metal. The rest of their music has harsh vocals.

I've got two great bands for you

PAIN and Reverend Agony

PAIN is the side project of Swedish Death Metal artist Peter Tägtgren (of Hypocrisy fame) and they've been around for a very long time. The album I would recommend starting off with is their 2002 Nothing Remains The Same which has an awesome version of "Eleanor Rigby".
