best instrumental

[fourbags]

what's the most ridiculous intensely amazing instrumental song you've ever heard?

first to come to mind for me is ashes of the wake by lamb of god

 

[inEdible]

Call to Ktulu

 

[Narg n Lamb]

hmmm, ashes of the wake is pretty insane I agree, but there has to be crazier

 

[Dän]

Call to Ktulu

I think its The call of Ktulu; and yes that is pretty cool,

I dont know if 2 many of u guys have heard it but '...of the sun' by stargazer is pretty cool.

And that one by Burzum on his first albumn (there might be more than one, dunno) but one of them is really cool

 

[Phrozenspite]

Orion slays...
just about any Windham Hell song(though their arrangement of The Last of Summer is particularly awesome)
In Flames - Hargalaten
thats just counting metal though, I assume you didn't mean including Classical and Jazz...

 

[fourbags]

yea i meant metal, but instrumentally amazing in any genre is good as far as i'm concerned. i'll have to check out some of those other suggestions that i havn't heard yet, thanks!

 

[Blinded By Blood]

Anything by Pelican
Isis-Emission of the Signal
Katatonia-Instrumental
Anything by Joe Satriani

 

[Nico]

He speaks the truth.

[Dän]

He speaks the truth.

That i do

 

[Carcassian]

Megadeth - Into the Lungs of Hell remains my absolute favourite instrumental of all time.

 

[junkyard_god]

two of my favorites which i consider great is death's voice of the soul and like some of you have said, call of ktulu..

 

[MasterOLightning]

Enslaved - Norvegr

In Flames - Man Made God
Opeth - Epilogue
Burzum - Han Som Reiste

 

[madu]

Enslaved - Secrets of the Flesh

My favorite would be Pain of Salvation's Dryad of the Woods though, but it's not metal.

 

[byrne]

In Flames did write some fantastic instrumentals, as did Coroner.

 

[CF87]

My favorite instrumentals.

Sentenced: The Golden Stream Of Lapland
In Flames: Dialogue With The Stars,Wayfaerer . so good
Mercyful Fate: Room Of Golden Air
Darkthrone: Accumulation Of Generalization,Eon
Cynic: Textures
God Macabre: Teardrops
Metallica: Orion

The bonus track on the import version of Cathdral 'the seventh coming'.

I'm probably forgetting a few.

 

[Metal Moose]

"Les Hambourgeois Walkways" by Helloween is one of my personal instrumental favorites. It's off of their "One" single.

I would like them a whole lot better without the singer actually.

 

[WNxScythe]

Metallica - To Live is to Die is one of my favorites.

 

[lastthrash]

In Flames - Dreamscape.
Dimmu Borgir - Perfection or Vanity.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Candlemass - Into The Unfathomed Tower
Or "The Prophecy" intro ... if it counts as an instrumental..it only has some spoken parts.
