    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)

        Tosin is the greatest guitarist of the millenial generation.

        Also his co-guitarist Javier has an excellent project as Mestís.

      Arch Echo

      Behold…the Arctopus

      Blotted Science

      CHON

      Cloudkicker

      Covet

      Haunted Shores

      Intervals

      Mestís

      Also; I think mentioning Protest the Hero in the context of instrumental music does a HUGE disservice to Rody Walker’s vocal talents and lyrics. However as a guitar nerd and PtH fan I approve of their inclusion.

        A few more;

        Alluvial

        An Endless Sporadic (Guitar Hero fans know)

        Scale the Summit (but only the first couple albums - Carving Desert Canyons specifically)

        TRAM (Tosin Abasi plays jazz)

        Teramobil (GREAT introduction to my favorite modern bassist, Dominic LaPointe)

        Trioscapes (Between the Buried and Men’s bassist Dan plays jazz)

        I’m also a fan, I just didn’t want to go too nuts with my list because I needed to get to sleep! I’ll check out the rest.

        Also; I think mentioning Protest the Hero in the context of instrumental music does a HUGE disservice to Rody Walker’s vocal talents and lyrics.

        Agreed. I honestly mentioned PtH just to mention them. I often can’t work to their music because my brain fills in their vocals for me, which is sometimes too distracting.

    Technical death metal to amp up on the drive in, instrumental prog to get the work done, black metal to decompress on the way home.

      For me:

      Power metal or speed metal to start the day or complete a task really quickly

      Death metal or epic heavy metal to push myself through tasks

      Black metal to go through the day on a sustainable pace

      Death-doom when I’m going through a lot of very small, context-shifting tasks for a long time and it’s driving me crazy

      Atmospheric black metal or dungeon synth to focus on a complex problem, and also when I’m on latter part of the day and really tired.

      Death-thrash to wake myself up when I’m sleepy.

    Then you get cancer, and can’t go to your 9-5 job. Which wasn’t paying for health insurance anyway. So fuck you and die.
