Well the guy who asked for instrumentals asked for instrumental bands to get his friend into metal. GYBE and EitS, while both fucking excellent, are not metal in the slightest. I'd go with Pelican, as Roses said. Gordian Knot is mostly prog. rock, though.
I really want to hear Sleep Terror.
True true, neither GYSBE or ETIS are metal, but they are both worthy of menton whenever possible. I'll go with the Pelican recommendation as well, Australasia is an amazing album.
I'll check out those bands you mentioned, thanks for the recommendation.
