I'm looking for bands that have a lot of guitar instrumental parts in their songs, or that have complete instrumental songs. I'm not sure if you understand what i mean when i say instrumental. I mean >>no vocals<<.
Bands that were recommended to me before are also good, they have good guitar players, but it would be better if they had less singing & more playing.

I hope you understand what i'm looking for...
If you want something a bit melancholy, you might want to check out Agalloch's The Mantle. They have a very minimalist style of playing, but I would say they are very talented. 'The Mantle' in particular is almost half instrumental. Actually most of their music is instrumental with moderate vocals which range from a whisper to raspy which are very sparse. Definitely recommended.

@doden: you are an idiot. regardless of whether i brought it up or not, my point still stands. the band has seldom been discussed since you introduced people to them months, maybe even a year or two ago. and the fact that this is a forum for metal discussion totally validates the context. in the first instance, i was being somewhat tongue in cheek, but you had to take offence. why? i dont know. perhaps its because you think you are too important to be insulted or something. but i assure you there are many bands you like that do indeed suck arse and if felt the need to get off on disagreeing with you, id probably have another 3,000 posts. so i apologise if you were thinking you were more important in my life than you actually are.

@ vvvvv: re-read through the recommendations thread and talk about music you like thread. i think you will find the entry before this little e-faggot saga (not referring to you) was re: me recommending aeternus ... and so the night became. a few of my posts (e.g. tearstained, behemoth, slam death metal) of late HAVE been negative, but why does that matter, especially when the vast majority of my posts are positive.

aside from that, my use here is probably more suited to negative comments given i dont have the time to search all day for bands that are unknown to users. being the 800th user to say "yeah, check out powerslave" really isnt helping anyone. me saying "hey you know what, steer clear of the amenta, they are really fucking boring" is probably going to be more appreciated.

and for any smartarses who are thinking the above infers that the vast majority of my posts are therefore not useful, think again. :p

I just checked them out. Not bad, but they guitar sounds too acoustic. I like the amount of instrumental parts in their songs, but it would be good if guitar was more distorted.
Thanks for the recommendation, btw.

Somebody forgot the "in my opinion" part.:rolleyes:

I think that's always implied,when not present. No one is stating facts here. Actually when I state an opinion, I always put imo at the end, but it's cumbersome and fucking awkward to type like this all the time

Sorry for the sporadic outburst of kindergarten philosophy,but consider these:
Saying 8 is an even number or I have dark hair is different from saying: Apples are tasty or This movie is boring.
The first pair of statements is existential: you're describing the objective reality. In the second pair you're giving youir own perspective on things in the world.
