My Favorite Instrumental Metal Songs

I love instrumentals (songs without vocals)!
One doesn't need words to convey a message and evoke emotions. Instrumentals also show how metal is very closely related to classical music!
These are…

1.Dissection - Storm Of The Light's Bane
2.Metallica - Ride The Lightning
3.Summoning - Minas Morgul
4.Metallica - ...And Justice For All
5.Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance

2.Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings
3.Mercyful Fate - Melissa
4.Opeth - Morningrise
5.Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss
