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.

    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.

      I think the main rift in that song is pretty awesome. Would be great to have a sample of just that.
