"The Crusade" by Trivium.

Allot of folks write these guys off as posers or trend-hoppers or whatever, but dang if that ain't a catchy tune. And I like that a young band can thrown on a decent intrumental at the end of the cd. Very old-school mentality.

thats a great cd regardless of what ppl think. To me music is music regardless of who the band might sound like. If it catches my attention thats all that matters. It seems that ppl dis bands or hate them because they sound like other bands too much. Trivium is the perfect example as they come off to everyone as Metallica and Testament rip offs when they are just playing the music they love.

All in all a good band in my eyes and a great instrumental there

I never got the Metallica/Testament comparison...I listened to their music... while it ain't terrible, it's just...I don't care for them...and seriously, where are those comparisons? I can't hear any!

Im not really too big with the instrumentals but I would say my favorite, even though this band is really disapointing me a lot lately, is orion by metallica.

1. live version of anaesthia pulling teeth by Cliff Burton
2. Orion By MetallicA
3. To Live is to Die by MetallicA
4. Into the Lungs Of Hell
5. Instrumental I wrote
6. DT by ACDC
7. Switch 565 by Def Leppard
8. yyz by Rush
9. Red Light turning blue by Pantera/Dimamond Darell
10. The Warning by Black Sabbath
11. Fluff By Black Sabbath
12. Call Of Ktulu by MetallicA

Agent Steel-The Day at Guyana
Morbid Angel-Desolate Ways
WASP-Mephisto Waltz(I love this song)
Metallica-all of them
Rigor Mortis-Welcome to Your Funeral
Queensryche-Anarchy X
Judas Priest-The Sentinel
Iron Maiden-Genghis Kahn & Transylvania

Anyone heard of a band named Mastery? They play thrash, but no singer. It's pretty cool the first couple spins, then it gets old.

theres so many awesome instrumentals out there all the metallica ones (orion, call of the klutu etc.) and the zeppelin ones (moby dick!) but i think one of my top favourites is an instrumental from a local band in my town called Nemesis and the song is called TRIPLE SIX! very thrashy very awesome!

Hey, I have that too! I haven't heard that version in years, thanks for the reminder--I have to go listen to that!

Vengeance Rising - Ascension

First thing I think of whenever I see this kind of thread.

Any/all of the instrumentals from Yngwie's Rising Force and Marching Out albums.

Gary Moore - The Loner and The Messiah Will Come Again (not really all that Metal, but still awesome)

Racer X - Y.R.O. and Viking Kong

Jason Becker - the whole Perpetual Burn album

Reign of the hammer-- Hammerfall
Imperial-- Hammerfall
Acension-- Vengeance Rising
Cliffs of Dover-- Eric Johnson
Light at the end of the tunnel--Narnia
Return of Aslan--Narnia
Trinity suite-- Yngwie Malmsteen

Hate intrumentals, total wank most of the times.

But i find Bunkbed Creek by the Sea Hags a great one, a great sleazy psychedalic side trip channeling Roky Erikson and the 13th Floor Elevators.
