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.

    You might like a lot of stuff by The Sword.

    Example

    There are vocals but they are smooth and crisp rather than the xtreme death metal habit of trying to eat the mic.

      And also they are just all round fantastic. Real, proper metal, but not cheesy.
