This was from my post on a similar thread a while ago, I tried to find it too, but semingly the thread was deleted or something, thanks for recovering it!

One addition:
DEATH - Cosmic Sea (from "Human")
 
I also recommended Joe Satriani the last time. It's more hard rock though, but his LP "The extremist" is a great record. It's all instrumental (which most of his records are). "Flying in a blue dream" is also pretty good, but 1/3 of the songs have vocals on them. "The forgotten (part two)" from that record is probably the best song I've heard from him!
I think I also recommended that Satyricon song last time.
 
Waylander are currently on Blackened Records. "King Of The Fairies" is definately my favourite all time instrumental so you should check it out. There is some chanting in it but its not vocals.

check them out anyway, i reccomend you download some songs, like "King Of The Fairies" "Morrigans Domain" "Born To The Fight" "The Light The Dark And The Endless Knot" "With Veins Afire"
