Labyrinths by Savatage and Dryad of the Woods by Pain of Salvation are both incredible instrumentals.Transylvania by Maiden is also a classic,as well as Orion by Metallica.

Death - Voice Of The Soul
Coroner - Nosferatu
In Flames - The Jester's Dance
In Flames - Acoustic Medley (on the Black-Ash Inheritance EP)

but of course Chuck is the GOD!!!!!!!

Labyrinths has some of the most beautiful piano work ever,great instrumental I just wish it lasted longer.

Death - Voice of the Soul

case closed

Well, is not exactly my favourite but is one that is always in my mind... "Porque Es Tan Difícil Amar" by Rata Blanca... is the emotion of that guitar... is so sad... is the way that love feels

Not sure about the Death song, because I am yet to hear it...... But you can't go wrong with In Flames instrumentals. They are all excellent. Particularly Whoracle....

For sure In Flames does have some amazing instrumental and one no one's mentioned that I think is there best but I kind of forgot about it until I saw this thread is Wayfaerer that song is so good it's got such a catchy riff but I think every intrumemntal by In Flames kicks ass. Some other great instrumentals are:
Iron Maiden - Transylvania
Iron Maiden - Los'fer Words
Porcupine Tree - Voyage 34
Rush - YYZ
Quo Vadis - Day the Universe Changed
Dream Theater - Ytse Jam
Ayreon - Chaos
Blind Guardian - Beyond the Ice

That's all that I can thnk of right now but those are all pretyy great songs.

Well, I'm listening to Rata Blanca right now... And you are right, that song slams. However love does not feel that way. Not in my case, I'm very happy!

Ironically, soon after making that post I heard the song for the first time. Excellent one too.

oh yeah!
*feels noob*

...hmm i have a large list...let's see, some of them are:

dreamtheater - hell's kitchen

death - voice of the soul

petrucci & rudess - black ice

gordian knot - muttersprache

jason becker - serrana

metallica - to live is to die

iron maiden - the phantom of the opera

atheist - samba briza

cacophony - speed metal symphony

spastic ink - see, and its sharp!

vitalij kuprij - track on fire

racer x - technical difficulties

amadeus mozart - symphony no. 5

beethoven - moonlight sonata

@vårÐå: Phantom of the opera - instrumental?! No way...

Anyway, i like instrumentals very much, and one of my fav are:

Iced Earth - 1776
Iron Maiden - Ides of March, Transylvania, Losfer Words
HammerFall - In Memoriam
Death - Voice of the soul
And, many Malmsteen's istrumentals, especialy Far Beyond The Sun.

I'm sure i forgot something...

...lol!! you are right
i meant transylvania...hehe
...i was hearing the phantom of the opera at the time, maybe that's why i wrote it
...my mistake

iron maiden: genghis kahn and transylvania
judas priest: battle hymn
in flames: the jester race
and Glenn Tipton: baptizm of fire

I've allways liked Metallica's Orion
we tried to jam that song with one of my first band's ,we liked that slow solo in the middle although bass player never liked this song for obvious reasons

Couldnt agree with you more my friend!

Annihilator - Crystal Ann
Arch Enemy - Hybrids of Steel / Stigmata
At The Gates - Into The Dead Sky
Atheist - Samba Briza / See You Again / Displacement
Devin Townsend - Ants / Devoid
Dream Theater - Dance of Eternity / Erotomania
Mastodon - Joseph Merrick
+ many more

I'd Say Dream Theater's Dance of the Eternal, it's sixteen minuits of soul touching instrumentaion, a perfect example of how Metal Gods should play their instruments.
My top six is probably

1. Dream Theater: Dance of the Eternal-see above
2. MegaDeth: Into the lungs of Hell- A trip of high energy thrashy goodness
3. Shadows Fall: Prelude to Disaster- Acoustic instrumental with a touch of electricity
4. Shadows Fall: Casting Shade-Stright Acoustic instrumental, reminds me of the wilderness.
5. Shadows Fall: Lead Me home- See prelude to disaster
6. Metalica:Call of Ktulu: Suspension building geneus of Metalica

iron maiden - the phantom of the opera

Dude I hate ta tell ya, but Phantom of the Opera is not an instrumental.

Warmen - War of Worlds

Warmen has many worthy instrumentals but War of Worlds is such a special track. It pulls you in just as if there were lyrics. It's so engaging and I often find myself singing along and then humming it later. War of Worlds is a perfect show of skill by Janne Warman and a textbook example of how to write an instrumental masterpiece. My only complaint is that it's too short! It's just over 3 minutes

How about Vivaldi's Winter by Dark Moor? it's a good variation from the part Winter in Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. I also like metallica's orion and The Call Of Ktulu

My two all time favourite instrumentals would have to be:

1. Death - Voice Of The Soul (The Sound Of Preserverance)
This song would actually have to be my favourite, not just my favourite instrumental, but my favourite song all together. It just has so much... well, 'soul'.

2. Carcariass - Hopeless (Hell On Earth)
This band copes so well with combining technicality and melody, I especially love the lead guitar work at about 1:30 (I think) into the song. It's a shame it's so short though, lasting for less than 2 minutes.

Theres many other instrumentals which appeal to me, but, these two are my top favourites.

I knew i forgot something...

Metallica - Anesthesia (bass) It's a damn good tune!

Oh, The Dance Of Eternity. The song pretty much is an eternal dance. It keeps going, and going, and as a listener, I am so sucked into it. Plus it has the sickest parts I have ever heard.

Yeah man I know exactly what you mean, it's one of those songs that's really long, but by the time it's over your not ready for it to be.
