“Story song” recommendations
Some of my favorite metal songs are those that tell stories. However, I only know a fairly small number of such songs, including Mirror of Souls, Sonata Arctica’s White Pearl Black Oceans, and Xandria’s A Theater of Dimensions. Any recommendations for more “story songs”? I know quite a few more concept albums that tell a story through the entire album, but I’m looking for individual songs

Mercyful Fate comes to mind. That's pretty much all they do. Each song is its own horror story. Don't know how you'd feel about some of their lyrics though.
There are tons of metal bands with songs that tell stories. I'd be here all day long listing them.
Maybe some of the others here have some good suggestions.

King Diamond has many spooky story songs that are fun to listen to. I can’t pick a favorite.

The Dark by Metal Church!
And not just the title track… the album has a few.
Blessing in Disguise too! Badlands is a great one.

Dry County is JBJ’s take on Springsteen. And I love it.

The three Heisei-era Gamera movies from the 90s is the best 3-movie stretch in Kaiju history.

Iron Maiden and Erasmus both did epic jobs of telling The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. (Erasmus' version is titled Sanguinus Nocturnus.)
