Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside

theparadox@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

I love working with instrumental metal, typically prog or “djenty” stuff, in the background. Sometimes a bit of post-rock.

I was surprised how many of us there are. A lot of “professionals” I know listen to metal. Engineers, developers, IT folks. It will randomly come up and everyone will say something along the lines of “Oh, really, you too?”

Been listening to a lot of Their Dogs Were Astronauts recently. In the interest of sharing my personal favorites bands to work to, because I found a number of them from random mentions in forums:
Their Dogs Were Astronauts (mostly instrumental)
Wide Eyes (mostly instrumental)
Caligula’s Horse (instrumental only tracks available)
Polyphia (mostly instrumental) Protest The Hero (instrumental only tracks available)
TesseracT (instrumental only tracks available)
Apocalyptica (started covering Metallica as cellos quartet instrumentals, now has a number of original songs with guest vocalists)
Collapse Under The Empire (post rock, mostly instrumental)
Parhelia (post rock, mostly instrumental)
Opeth (occasional instrumental tracks, started as death metal, evolved into more prog metal)
