I’m big on Opeth, Bodom (rest in power, Alexi), Dimmu, and Graveworm.

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.

We’re all just different parts of the universe looking back at itself in different ways.

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.

Was loving Ne Obliviscaris on the way in this morning - such contrasts between dark and light!

They’re solid.
You should try Saor

Everything sucks ass but if you can get paid good and get paid easy it can suck less.

Or work a shitty job for low pay, that’s the best

Same, but with plundering and pillaging as lyrics.

Well I can’t say that being a graduate student is a stable job, but my research is absolutely fueled by technical death metal and sugar 🤘😈🤘

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.
theparadox@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Another great band!
CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Plini as well as The Omnific!
theparadox@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I know Plini, will check out The Omnific!
UniversalBasicJustice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
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.
UniversalBasicJustice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
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)

Behold the Arctopus mentioned!

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.
