Instrumental Metal Songs?

[samwise7]

Does anyone have any suggestions for Metal Songs without lyrics?

They make good gaming music. (I put this post in the wrong place at first).

I can't think of any. I know a decent amount of newer black/death metal stuff. I dunno what kind of metal your looking for, but it can very a lot. I can't think of anything purely instrumental off the top of my head, but I'll ask around and see if I can help you out.

Any metal is good metal. : ) I've never really learned all the of the different genres and what they really mean, and it seems bands blur the lines anyway. (Doom, black, death, thrash, groove, etc). I like it all.

Any song you can think of without lyrics would be great. Thanks.

(I'll post a big list when all of my threads on various boards report in, hehe).

I'm still looking for more. So I will post another list when I have it.

[Nosferatu]

Wow, you've got a lot. I'm keep my eyes peeled, but I don't know if I can come up with much more to add to your list.

Sam,
Why are you making a metal list?

[samwise7]

I am making a list of songs without lyrics because I like music on in the background for my RPG group as well as for casual boardgaming, CCG, NON CCG gaming etc. Lyrics can be kind of distracting when you are concentrating on a game.

Lyrics (especially in metal) have a way of offending people, but I love the metal sound, and it works well to pump up the players.

So that is why I want to find any recommened instru-metal songs ;D

For gaming.

I have a few more songs, but I will wait to post them when I get another long list.
