When you think of Nature Music, you'd expect soft, mellow guitars, woodwinds, organic music, or actual sounds in nature like forests, water, and birds, with tracks that last an hour long, right? Think again.
A lot of metal music features heavy nature-related, sometimes pagan, themes. Popular themes include about Mother Nature, Gaia's Revenge, Noble Wolves, xenofiction, Nature Spirits, and Anthropomorphic Personifications of nature. More often than not, these songs contain a Green Aesop. Many music videos are set in forests or on mountain ranges.
Nature-related metal songs are most common in sub-genres such as Gothic Metal, Folk Metal, Symphonic Metal, Black Metal and Power Metal.
Tends to overlap with another metal Sub-Genre called Heavy Mithril (fantasy-themed Heavy Metal).

"Blackened" by Metallica is a prominent example of a pro-environment, anti-pollution song; it's about how humanity is destroying the world (and itself) by squandering and destroying the Earth and its resources.

In Metalocalypse, Dethklok releases an entire album intended for animals to listen to. Offdensen wins a court case by pointing out a warning label on the album saying it's not intended for human listening after a fan was hospitalized for nearly drowning himself. The album's headliner song "Go Into the Water" starts by calling out to the animals of the sea to rise and reclaim the lands and says that mankind will devolve back into the ocean depths.

San Francisco-based Hammers of Misfortune recorded their debut "The Bastard", which is a dark fantasy tale about an orphan who murders a tyrant king, and allows the beasts, plants, and creatures of the forest to destroy all civilization in the surrounding area. In the end, he learned that he is really a forest sapling that was turned into a human, and little more than a pawn in a Dragon's scheme to get rid of the humans.

The Hex Girls from Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost describe themselves as an "eco-goth" band, though thus far "Earth, Wind, Water, and Air" has been the only nature-related song they've sung on-screen.

Defeated Sanity's The Sanguinary Impetus is a loose Concept Album about the brutality of the natural world that mostly focuses on predators, though it also touches on gruesome defense mechanisms ("Insecta Incendium") and also has a bit of Gaia's Lament ("Propelled into Sacrilege").

Nightwish:
Endless Forms Most Beautiful was inspired by the writings of Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins on evolution and natural science, and includes several songs extolling the beauty of nature and ultimately advising mankind to care for it.
Several songs on Human. :II: Nature, including the entirety of disc 2, but special mention goes to "Procession", which is written from the perspective of the animal kingdom talking to humanity. The video also lists off a number of endangered species during the bridge of the song.

Sonata Arctica:
"In My Eyes You're a Giant" is about the relationship between a wolf and his owner, told from the perspective of the wolf.
Several of their songs are told from the perspective of wolves, such as "It Won't Fade" and "The Cage".

Epica's song "Deep Water Horizon" was inspired by the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill caused when the oil rig Deepwater Horizon caught fire and sank. The song is also more broadly about climate change caused by the consumption of fossil fuels.

Spanish Folk Metal band Mägo de Oz has many songs (and even Concept Albums, the Gaia trilogy) that have natural themes in their songs, especially referent to Gaia's Lament and Gaia's Vengeance (the latter even it's Title Drop for one one song of them).
