Top 10 Metal Instrumentals of the 21st Century
Known as one of the hardest pieces to play on guitar.
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.
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).
A 2013 track available for preview only on soundcloud.com (not on youtube). But the band members are so kind that allow you to legally download it for free. Caym are a relatively new Canadian metal band.
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.
It's so nice that the song sample is really the orchestral version!
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.
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
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).
Iron Maiden cover, flamenco style.
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.
