I'm taking "beautiful" as meaning softer sound, lilting/sultry voices and introspective voices, romantic/uplifting or downright sexy moods, or plain old shiver inducing. When looking at the 'grand scheme of things', I don't know how metal can be considered beautiful (although I love a lot of metal).
