Some find love in a hopeless place, and others find it in the pit.

This year's installment of Copenhell, a metal festival in Copenhagen, Denmark, featured an adorable moment when a couple got engaged in the middle of a mosh pit.

The video was shared by the festival and can be seen here. The unnamed man got down on one knee, much to the surprise of his girlfriend, who said yes. As if the moment couldn't get any more wholesome, the surrounding fans then turned what was thought to be a "wall of death" into a "wall of hugs" by charging the couple for a massive group hug.

We send our best wishes to the newly engaged couple, and we hope a very metal wedding is in the work for the not-so-distant future.

8 ’80s Metal Albums Everyone Should Own

Metallica released Master of Puppets on March 3, 1986, and years later, it remains one of metal's most iconic masterpieces.

In honor of its anniversary, we take a look back on that album, as well as other '80s metal albums we think everyone should own.

The list in the gallery below also doubles as a convenient “metal starter kit” (if you will) for the youths dipping their toe into metal for the first time, because frankly, someone has to think about the children.

Metallica – 'Master Of Puppets'

More like 'Masterpiece of Puppets.'  Everyone should obey this album.


Dio – ’Holy Diver’

The late Ronnie James Dio was 5’4”, but his voice could move mountains, and it’s on full display on this iconic metal album.


Motorhead – 'Ace Of Spades'

We’re certainly born to lose, but we live for this Motorhead album.


Iron Maiden – 'The Number Of The Beast'

It was difficult to pick just one album from Maiden to include on this list, but we picked The Number Of The Beast for its historical significance of it being the first Maiden album to feature Bruce Dickinson. (FYI:  Runner-up was 'Powerslave.')


Megadeth – 'Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?'

Speaking of “buying,” BUY THIS ALBUM RIGHT NOW IF YOU SOMEHOW DON'T HAVE IT!


Slayer – 'Reign In Blood'

If someone creates a “best metal albums” list and a Slayer album isn’t on it, does it actually exist?  No…it doesn’t, and if your metal collection doesn’t include this iconic album, it’s just sorely lacking.


Judas Priest – 'British Steel'

Like actual steel, this Priest classic is f*cking solid.


Motley Crue – 'Shout At The Devil'

Badass and glam-influenced and proud of it! Also, that title track, though…
