The album beacons by Cloudkicker is just amazing all the way through. It is an ambient progressive metal instrumental album. The combination of long sustained E-bow notes with heavy and sometimes very technical guitar riffs. I can try to compare it to other instrumental metal bands such as Pelican, Russian Circles, and Explosions In The Sky. It's more all-encompassing than the subtle drone of Pelican. It has more than just the expansive sound that makes Explosions In The Sky so popular. And it's riffs are more metal than Russian Circles. Some of the songs even have a kind of Posi hardcore feel to them. All around this album is just an incredible listen and maybe to my friends that can't stand the vocals of most metal this could at least get you interested in the music.
