Instrumental tracks on albums of vocal groups are often seen as filler material or as a possibility to show musical skills.
In contrast, the title track is often considered to be the central and defining part of an album, suggesting that the corresponding lyrics may contain important key information to the understanding of the album. Therefore, it may seem surprising that several albums of vocal groups exhibit an instrumental as title track.

This alphabetical list presents albums by vocal groups where the title track is an instrumental. This concerns purely instrumental songs but may also include songs where melody lines without lyrics are vocalised.

Please feel free to suggest more examples of unusual title tracks by regular vocal groups that are purely instrumental or where the lead singer does not sing lyrics.

1.Absu - Tara

2.Afflicted - Prodigal Sun

3.Afterbirth - Four Dimensional Flesh

4.Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes

5.Angel Dust - Into The Dark Past

Please feel free to suggest more of your favorite songs for this list !

Some albums are really good. Many of these are good all the way around. And, in many cases, there is a single song that stands out, sometimes it's the last song on the album. This is a list of those songs.

For a more in depth look at this, I've codified each into a given category:
Type 1 - 'The long song at the end.' Often the title track. These have a tendency to be most well written and dynamic pieces on the album.

1.!T.O.O.H.! - Order And Punishment (Řád A Trest)

2.Abigail Williams - Becoming

3.Agalloch - The Mantle

4.Amon Amarth - Versus The World

5.Anekdoten - Vemod

Since I started to become interested in not only metal, but music in general, there have been many albums that have marked something important in my life, and I know that there will be albums in the near future that will become important in my life, but these, are the ones that did it, and in some way, changed my perspective about what music is, and what it could be. In no particular order.

1.Opeth - Morningrise

2.Agalloch - The Mantle

3.Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
