Like, I love thrash/death/heavy metal music, but I could mostly do without the vocals. Is there a genre of music (or specific bands) I should look for?
I’m a big fan of Arcturus, Children of Bodom, etc, but I prefer the instrumentals way more than the singing.
So, is there a specific genre for that?
Edit: Imagine Silent Night, Bodom Night but without lyrics. It’s not that I dislike the vocals; would just appreciate the track more without them. It’s like they’re just in the way of what I want to hear.
Edit 2: Thanks, everyone. I have heard of Animals as Leaders but am not super familiar with them. Will definitely check them out as well as the other recommendations.
Can’t think of a super great example, but a collab between bad omens and poppy comes to mind. That’s only one song though. It’s called V.A.N https://tidal.com/track/340509886?u
Still has vocals but it isn’t just metal screaming
Didn’t know poppy was still around. She’s interesting but I can’t help but think that song would have been better without her.
She’s actually growing in popularity, opening for and collaborating with major bands. She’s booked on a lot of metal festivals as well.
