I love working with instrumental metal, typically prog or "djenty" stuff, in the background. Sometimes a bit of post-rock.

I was surprised how many of us there are. A lot of "professionals" I know listen to metal. Engineers, developers, IT folks. It will randomly come up and everyone will say something along the lines of "Oh, really, you too?"

Been listening to a lot of Their Dogs Were Astronauts recently. In the interest of sharing my personal favorites bands to work to, because I found a number of them from random mentions in forums:

Edit: I'm stuck at work with my PC being worked on so here are some more random artists whose music I appreciate:

  • Anup Sastry - very djenty, mostly instrumental, some guest vocals occasionally.
  • Scoredatura - djenty, mostly instrumental.
  • Rishloo - psychedelic prog rock? not instrumental.
  • HAKEN - instrumental only tracks available.
  • Brass Against - brass and other classical instruments. They cover Rage Against The Machine as well as other random songs and make occasional mashups of them. Not instrumental.
  • Pomegranate Tiger - prog metal.
  • Modern Day Babylon - djenty, instrumental.

Arch Echo

Behold...the Arctopus

Blotted Science

CHON

Cloudkicker

Covet

Haunted Shores

Intervals

Mestís

Also; I think mentioning Protest the Hero in the context of instrumental music does a HUGE disservice to Rody Walker's vocal talents and lyrics. However as a guitar nerd and PtH fan I approve of their inclusion.

Hehehe I knew that would draw you out. Where's your riffs?

on my exteral drive, I've been busy :(

Totally valid, no rush. My guitar whispered to me a bit yesterday but its been a few weeks so I stuck to warming up rather than pushing for tempo.

I've mostly been working on Black Dahlia Murder's Statutory Ape and Protest the Hero's The Dissentience in terms of full songs. A few scattered PtH riffs off Palimpsest; intro to Sun of Nothing and the sweeps at the end of Selkies by BTBAM to round things out.

Haven't written anything in years, just working on my chops.
