I am a man of instrumental music, from jazz to djent and all things in between. I am tough to please but quick to praise when something comes along that catches my interest. When perusing my collection, know that this is some of the best instrumental music I've found thus far on bandcamp. If you have any suggestions, please send them my way!

    I actually almost bought the lyric version just because it reminded me so much of Coheed & Cambria. But then they released this fantastic instrumental version that I just couldn't say no to. Mandroid Echostar is tight like a tiger, with ripping solos and inventive song structures, a true gem of prog metal. Thanks for giving us an instrumental version! [not that the lyric version isn't worth checking out (if you're into that sort of thing)]
  3. Enter
    by Russian Circles
    favorite track 00:00/00:00
    Death Rides A Horse Death Rides A Horse
    I forgot how much I love Russian Circles and this album particularly. Now 7 years old, Enter was a forerunner of the experi-metal (doom, stoner, psychadelic, etc.) scene that is so vibrant today. Guitarist Mike Sullivan was one of the first to use the loop pedal with great success, relying on badass riffage, pedal effect experimentation, and introspective moments of beauty rather than flashy solos to craft heavy, experimental music that is still relevant today.
  4. The Void That Isn't

    Lagarto Lagarto
    I've become excessively picky about my heavier music, but this band comes recommended from a bandcamper that knows their stuff! Solid, technical skill plus talented songwriting, multiplied by an original take on the metal genre leaves nothing to be desired. Love it!

    It's just so freaking beautiful! Cellos, flutes, violins, trumpets, mathish guitar work, all combine to brilliance!

    Wow, this girl is pure talent. I can't get over her technical guitar skill and diverse song crafting. Fans of Animals as Leaders should feel right at home.

    Grain Grain
    This is a fantastic orchestral math rock album, beautiful and inspired. These compositions are an incredible balance of its varied aspects, creating a laid back atmosphere perfect for relaxing.

    Manchester Manchester
    I haven't bought an album with lyrics in more than three years. The man plays violin over several loops of himself playing violin while he sings. If you haven't seen him do it live, you must!

    Ambulance Ambulance
    The boys from Belfast are back with their infectious & optimistic instrumental party rock that defies classification. You'll laugh, you'll jump around, you'll wonder how they got their guitars to sound like steel drums!
