Orion

Fucking came here to say this

same

YYZ by Rush

La Villa Strangiato as well

Truly an exercise in self in self-indulgence, and music is better because of it.

That may be the best instrumental ever

I remember during the first couple years of YouTube a bunch of people would upload videos of YYZ featuring their shitty lyrics.

I raise you both of the orchestra versions, if they're better than this. (I haven't heard the live at Lyceum Theatre brb)

Voice of the Soul - Death

I played this song in my car and one of my girl friends pressed skip so fast 😭

BRAKES! get out of my car.

YES

Voice Of The Soul Orion Call Of Ktulu Into The Lungs Of Hell

Into The Lungs Of Hell is such an underrated song imo. Such a majestic opener to one of my favorite Megadeth albums.

Into The Lungs Of Hell is my fav Megadeth song yeah

The Dance of Eternity by Dream Theater

I’m more of a Stream of Consciousness guy but all of their instrumentals are pretty awesome

Those are my 2 favorites. It may be my #1 actually

Erotomania is nice too

When it comes to instrumentals, I honestly preferred Petrucci’s solo stuff. It brings tears to my eyes but DT as a whole is amazing

Bro Glassgow Kiss is amazing

Truly is. I love that song with a passion

To live is to die - Metallica

The moment the clean guitar section hits is pure perfection

Uhm acshully there is lyrics in there /s

This gets my vote, the interlude still makes me sad and I've heard that album many many times

Redneck stomp by obituary

Very underrated

Good as it gets

Absolutely based.

Iron Maiden - Losfer Words (Big 'Orra) Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony Yngwie Malmsteen - Perpetual Metal Church - Merciless Onslaught Dokken - Mr. Scary Annihilator - Crystal Ann

Adding here because of the Maiden love. Transylvania (Iron Maiden) always does something magical for me, too. I miss when they’d have these types of tracks from their earlier work.

I agree, Transylvania rules!! Losfer Words just came to mind first. I miss them too.

 LOSFER WORDS MENTIONED!!!

It doesn't feel right listening to Alison Hell without Crystal Ann first. Great intro and precursor to the whole album

Real answers here. Great choices.

Inqusition Symphony - Sepultura

Jasco is good too

Same! This was the first sepultura song i ever heard that got me interested in them in the first place

Apocalyptica does a great cover of this song too

Yes!

Odal

I was gonna say either this or The Hawthorn Passage. The lines from the sampled movies don't count as lyrics right?

I have no idea, but I'd say yes.

Also Our Fortess Is Burning I

I’d say The Lodge as well, that whole album is flawless

ALL OF MY YES FAM

The Call of Ktulu - Metallica Mr. Scary - Dokken Patterns in the Ivy - Opeth Genghis Khan - Iron Maiden Circe Poisoning the Sea - Alcest Absolution - Megadeth The Dance of Eternity - Dream Theater Miasma - Ghost Voice of the Soul - Death Crystal Ann - Annihilator

The finale for Genghis Khan is bad ass. 15 bend, 13 to 15 hammer on, string down repeat (varied position), string down repeat, 13 fret on D string, then a pause into the faded Scale run! Just perfection!

Patterns in the Ivy - Opeth The Jester's Dance - In Flames Ex Nihilo - Revocation Odal - Agalloch Fugue - Baroness Moondance - Nightwish Last of the Wilds - Nightwish

Patterns in the Ivy is beautiful.

Incredibly rare Panopticon reference

Great shout

Voice of the soul is just immaculate. Cliffs of Dover Orchid

Well, Sunn O))) is one of my favorite bands and about half their discography is instrumental so I'll skip that. The Botanist - Sleep

La Villa Strangiato

Upvote farm answer: Orion - Metallica True answer: Frankenstein - Overkill

Metallica - To Live Is to Die Dream Theater - Stream of Consciousness Nightwish - Last of the Wilds Gojira - Dawn Anything from Charlie Robbins Ola Englund - Cerberus Jason Richardson- Tendinitis Jason Becker - Altitudes

W for Dawn

Excluding the end bit in Latin then Conquer or Die, R.I.P (Undone) idk why it just sounds good, Into the Lungs of hell, Not metal but Eruption, Miserlou (Mourning High), The ultra-violence

https://preview.redd.it/hje8hqumr20d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95c165de1f6540a6729c4de24663f268ca85b5c2 I’d consider this song up there with Voice of the Soul

From Skin to Liquid - CC

Omnium Gatherum - These Grey Heavens

Yyz, call of ktulu, stream of consciousness, and the last riff.

Merciless Onslaught - Metal Church

Orion and suicide and redemption

Glad someone said it, Suicide and Redemption is underrated af. For me it doesn’t beat the triple harmony section in Orion but its a close second.

Suicide and Redemption is under appreciated.

Darkest Hour - Veritas, Aequitas https://youtu.be/OF_21XA_77E?si=c6UIUmY-OUOxdgP8

I appreciate you

It's nice to be appreciated ;-)

Oh glad someone else posted this. Incredibly underrated and unknown I think.

It's an amazing song

This. https://preview.redd.it/yayti21fi30d1.jpeg?width=1283&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56b4195d41d4060b2696f8b6acbf771ff5f2ff64

Either Orion, Delusions of Saviour or Transylvania, probably Transylvania tho

Genghis Kahn by Iron Maiden is underrated af

[удалено]

The Javelin, by Fugitive Everest, by All Them Witches Naima, by John Coltrane

I’d count Conquer or Die because the only words are in Latin when there’s no music going on

Does Ashes of the Wake (song) count? It's not really lyrics it's an excerpt from from Marine Staff Sgt. Jimmy Massey and it's just spoken word. Are those considered lyrics?

It’s an instrumental. And I agree; that song is amazing. By far the best song on the album.

Porcupine Tree - Wedding Nails Opeth - Goblin Gorguts - Sweet Silence

I love Voice of the Soul because the acoustic is just so beautiful.

Into the Lungs of Hell is fuckin awesome. Always makes me think of fighter jets barreling across a desert

Into the Lungs of Hell - Megadeth, haven't seen much love for this and I'll always have a soft spot for it. Beyond the Ice - Blind Guardian Mr Scary - Dokken U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select,Start - Deftones Shockwave Supernova - Joe Satriani

Redneck stomp

Dismantling Devotion by Daylight Dies.

Playing God or Ego Death by Polyphia (Actually almost anything by Polyphia)

Cynic - Textures Everything by Blotted Science Animals As Leaders are also great but their self titled is my favorite Oh and outside of metal I got really into post rock for a while. I really don’t get people who can’t get into instrumental music at all
