This alphabetical list presents albums by vocal groups where the title track is an instrumental. This concerns purely instrumental songs but may also include songs where melody lines without lyrics are vocalised.

Please feel free to suggest more examples of unusual title tracks by regular vocal groups that are purely instrumental or where the lead singer does not sing lyrics.

Alrighty. I can fucks with this list.

As for recs, Deathhammer has the Onwards to the Pits title track from the album of the same name.

Thank you very much, A Real Mönkey. I have added your example to the list.

Once again a really cool list idea, here are some more examples:
Absu - Tara
Afflicted - Prodigal Sun
Afterbirth - Four Dimensional Flesh
Arch Enemy - Stigmata
Carcariass - Killing Process
Edge Of Sanity - The Spectral Sorrows
Kaatayra - Inpariquipe
Master's Hammer - Ritual
Molested - Blod-Draum
Mournful Congregation - The June Frost
Naked City - Grand Guignol
Scattered Remnants - Destined To Fail
Windir - Soknardalr

Additionally, those are albums where there's an instrumental track named very similarly to the album, it's up to you which ones you decide to include:
Defeated Sanity - Disposal Of The Dead / Dharmata (Dharmata)
Edge Of Sanity - Unorthodox (The Unorthodox)
Judas Iscariot - Thy Dying Light (Thy Dying Light, And Desolate Darkness)
Pan.thy.monium - Khaooohs (Khaooohs II)
Sieges Even - The Art Of Navigating By The Stars (Intro: Navigating By The Stars)
Vuvr - Pilgrimage (Pilgrim I, Pilgrim II)

Finally, those albums with an instrumental title track except for some spoken word, which I'm not sure I'd really consider vocals. The choice is yours:
Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale
Nåstrond - Toteslaut
Shining - IV: The Eerie Cold

Thank you again for all your interesting suggestions, doez. I have included nearly all of them in the list.

The only three exceptions are: Kaatayra - Inpariquipe: it does have some soft singing with lyrics at some point; Naked City - Grand Guignol: I am struggling with the cover art; Vuvr - Pilgrimage: title of the album and name of potential title tracks may be too different in this case.
- ... but maybe I change my mind at some point.

Thank you very much for your support.

Thank you again for your suggestions, Blackcrowe. I have added nearly all of those that are on MS.

Only exceptions are Freakeys, Octavision, Bob Katsionis and Tony Mac Alpine, because they are mainly instrumental artists - as far as I have seen.

The suggested examples from Viikate (Sarkajako-twist), Light Bringer (Noah) and Avenged Sevenfold (Jade Helm) do not seem to be title tracks - or did I miss something?

Again, thank you for the long list of interesting examples and your support.


(I have added your examples Grand Magus and Moon Reverie also to another list:
