Some awesome Instrumental songs

[metal_wrath]

What are some of the best instrumental songs you have heard? It would help if you describe them also.

A few of my favorite:

Agalloch - The Misshapen Steed - very epic atmospheric and melancholic instrumental

At the Gates - And the World Returned - melancholic acoustic song with some wierd sound clips at the end.

Opeth - Epilogue - amazing.

 

[Zephyrus]

Borknagar - Ascension of Our Fathers

 

[Seditious]

my all-time favorites

viking: Falkenbach - Gjallar
folk: Turisas - Katuman Kaiku
folk: Korpiklaani - Pellonpekko
pagan: Solgrav - Lopun Alku
pagan: Temnozor - Folkstorm Unreleased Material - Track 14
power: HammerFall - In Memoriam
power: Nightwish - Crimson Tide Deep Blue Sea
industrial: Samael - Inch'allah (Instrumental version)

 

[FenriR]

Pretty much any Pelican. Drought is an awesome song.

And, of course, call of the Ktulu by Metallica.

 

[nissan]

Sinners Bleed - Invisible Knowledge
Saturnus - All Alone
Sceptic - Painful Silence. There's a bit of vocalization, but it's an instrumental in my eyes

 

[XSASweet]

Powerglove's Metal Kombat For The Mortal Man Album, the two "The Black Mages" albums, and some stuff from buckethead.

 

[sevag00]

Dimmu Borgir - Perfection or Vanity

 

[cookiecutter]

Infernal Revulsion - Leviathan. Bad ass slam with a cool solo

 

[tagradh]

Are these supposed to songs by metal bands or?

If not then Ann'Sannat - Improvisation. Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy. Ludovico Einaudi – Primavera. Thomas Newman – Road To Chicago. Ulver - Lost In Moments.

[Seditious]

"Dreamscape" is definitely one of In Flames' best instrumentals.

 

[Belligerent]

Agalloch Odal is the best instrumental I've ever heard. So many moods in one song done without lyrics is pretty remarkable.
