Top 10 Metal Instrumentals of the 21st Century

Known as one of the hardest pieces to play on guitar. - Metal_Treasure

Flametal (flamenco metal) combine real flamenco guitar and rhythms with very technical instrumental metal, influenced by thrash, prog and neo-classical metal. This band was founded in 2004 by Benjamin 'Ben' Woods - a flamenco and metal guitarist from California. - Metal_Treasure

Blotted Science are a supergroup playing instrumental technical death metal.
Members: Ron Jarzombek (aka the Godfather of technical metal, guitars), Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse, bass), Hannes Grossmann (Obscura, Necrophagist, drums), Charlie Zeleny (Behold the Arctopus, drums), Chris Adler (Lamb Of God, Megadeth, drums). - Metal_Treasure

Blind Guardian epicness and perfectionism at their best - it sounds awesome even without vocals. I prefer the original version with vocals but this is still majestic. - Metal_Treasure

It's so nice that the song sample is really the orchestral version! - Metal_Treasure

Thanks for adding it, christangrant. I agree with you - it's pretty good, maybe not as mindblowing as some of the other instrumentals on this list but yeah, it's good. - Metal_Treasure

Yes I Added This Because It's The Only Metallica Instrumental They Made In The 21st Centry Its Good Just Not As Good As The Other Instumentals Metallica Made - christangrant

Just play the song sample. I believe Blotted Science are currently the most technical metal band (actually a supergroup, which explains their high level of musicianship). - Metal_Treasure

One of the masterpieces that came out in 2015. And this is from a debut album! The band might be more like prog rock than metal though. They aren't on EM. - Metal_Treasure

Words can't describe this one... so beautiful... - Metal_Treasure
