Is there anything else to IF's purely instrumental songs like Wayfearer, Whoracle, Man Made God, etc. other than their being pure kickass? Has anybody ever heard anything about the inspiration behind these songs?
 
basically, I think they're just a place for riffs that didn't fit into the other songs...

I can't say I've heard anything about the inspiration behind their instrumentals, but I assume it's because of the band's love for their instruments.

That seems to the most logical answer.
 
Veenox, I would agree. I just think it would be pretty cool to find out from the band (if not on the forum) that there was a deeper meaning to any of the songs. Weareinflames also brought up a point, just great sections that didn't fit into any songs. I wish more bands would take that approach and not just cut a great riff because it didn't fit on an album or had no lyrics.
 
Best guitar bit? I dunno...
Guitar intro on Stand Ablaze
Riff to Behind Space
Melody on Artifacts of the Black Rain
I almost kept going, but I realized the list would be about a page long...
