DagonPie, in Metal with soft or no vocals?

I really love Unleash the Archers. Female lead vocals and power metal so if its easier for you to digest i would suggest them. Their music and videos are also awesome. Also sort of weird but I would suggest Tool because they have a lot of musical interludes that just hit so right.

Tempel is good with few vocals.

I use Amazon music HD, the paid one. It works for me. I don’t really look for new metal that much. Usually my music choices are influenced by whatever concerts I’m going to see in the future. But the options are unlimited and I could play a different album forever on Amazon and not have to repeat them ever.

Death core bands, a few of them will release their albums with singing and full instrumentals. Shadow of intent, Lorna shore.

Body count just released an instrumental version of their newer album.

Oceans are Alaska

Wet Ass Plutonium - Nuclear Power Trip 👈 these aren’t metal but something worth checking out on YouTube.

Check Out Nuclear Power Trio. I don’t know who they are but they sound good and their song titles make me laugh.

Also as already mentioned, Animals as Leaders are excellent.

A few of my recs: Soen, Katatonia (Viva Emptiness and after), Riverside, Aryeon, Riverside, and Haken (Visions and after).

I like to call Leah “The Enya of Metal”. If you want almost pure instrumental metal there’s Amogh Symphony (or Wang Wen if you want something metal-adjacent that’s mostly instrumental).

BitSound,

Damn, that’s a great list. Most of what I’d recommend is in there, here’s a few more:

  • Anup Sastry - everything’s instrumental except the most recent album, which has vocals, with an instrumental version too
  • Blotted Science - other Ron Jarzombek stuff tends to be instrumental as well, like Spastic Ink
  • Master Boot Record - everything’s instrumental, he coerces old hardware into making cool music
  • Pomegranate Tiger - all instrumental
foggy,

Nikola Kvetkovic needs some love.

I guess Scale The Summit, but fuuuuck Chris Letchford.

Oh no, I love Scale the Summit. What did he do?

metalinjection.net/…/scale-the-summit-parts-ways-…

He handled this really unprofessionally. He basically wasn’t paying his band mates. His band members posted scathing things on social media. If I recall, one member jokes about the “Chris Letchford Can’t Afford To Pay Me Starter Kit” with photos of his brand new house, truck, etc. Chris was an egoist about it all.

I’ve seen them live twice. One time they were headlining, and the opening act stoooooole the show (reign of kindo). Chris, in between songs, kept nagging the audio and light crew, saying things like “can we get some better lights up here I feel like I’m playing in my living room…” no, Chris, it feels like your living room because that’s the energy your brought to stage.

So yeah, I don’t support the guy, but his music is good.

Broken_Monitor,

I came to give recommendations and you listed most of the ones I know and more. Thanks for the list!

Check out the Liquid Tension Experiment too.

Awesome list. My current listens, that I don’t think I’ve seen listed yet. Some might not be metal enough for everyone, but I love metal and the above bands and I also listen to these artists:

Mostly Instrumental

Scoredatura

Their Dogs Were Astronauts

Arch Echo

Long Distance Calling (more Post-Rock than Metal)

Intervals

Apocalyptica (Cello Quartet that started by covering Metallica, newer albums have originals and guest vocals)

Clean Vocals

Soen

Instrumental Versions of Tracks are Available

Currents Instrumental Example

Divitius Instrumental Example

manapropos, in Metal with soft or no vocals?

Intervals is a good one. I haven’t listened to their newer stuff but their early work is instrumental.

Special mention: Chon. They’re more math rock than metal but the musicianship is incredible and very few of their songs have vocals

kttnpunk, in Metal with soft or no vocals?
@kttnpunk@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe look into electric moon, the sword, mogwai, sleep, witchcraft,? I kinda lean towards softer, melodic doom metal but those are just some suggestions off the top of my head

Fecundpossum,

Windhand would be a good addition to your list

RickMoreanus,

The Sword are great.

Nouveau_Burnswick, in Metal with soft or no vocals?

Instrumetal. I like this playlist on Spotify: spotify.link/DHO1sVLGUCb

raptir, in Metal with soft or no vocals?

There’s a lot of djent - a subgenre of progressive metal - that has no vocals. Check out…

  • Arch Echo
  • Scale the Summit
  • I Built the Sky
  • Intervals
yeetsinfection, in Metal with soft or no vocals?

Caligula’s horse

Also, not really my jam, but there’s a bunch of folk metal and like Viking metal that has clean vocals and symphonic elements

Oh and Dream Theater obviously

Fump, in Metal with soft or no vocals?

Try Russian Circles or Pelican.

MrJameGumb, in Metal with soft or no vocals?
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds like you’d probably enjoy some prog metal or maybe just prog rock in general? Those bands don’t typically have a lot of screamy vocals. I use Amazon Music. It seems to do a pretty decent job of suggesting new bands based on my playlists

LOLjoeWTF, in Cattle Decapitation - The Unerasable Past/Death Atlas (Music Video)

I absolutely love this video. It’s a work of art.
