I've always been a fan of progressive metal going back to the days of Opeth. It wasn't until I discovered Scale The Summit early last year on Spotify that I came upon a big metal genre of instrumental progressive / djent bands. They're all amazing acts and I don't mind that there isn't a singer. It gives me the opportunity to hone in on the sounds. It also inspired me to take up the guitar for the second real time. First at 17 then a second time at 35. I'm older now, yet have a deeper appreciation for music and the guitar in general.

1.Scale The Summit - The Migration

2.Sithu Aye - Cassini

3.Wide Eyes - Terraforming

4.Intervals - The Space Between

5.Modern Day Babylon - Travelers
