4. Brontide
experimental instrumental/post rock/progressive metal
This three piece are, in their own way, proof that instrumental music can be as accessible as anything with vocals to get caught on, and further proof that said accessible music can be as experimental as you like without losing any of that accessibility. Not just that, but many might complain that instrumental music is boring, but that is simply something that cannot be said of Brontide. Through their songs, Brontide manage to mix things up and keep things changing in such a way that the listener's interest is always piqued. That's not to say they don't know how to build tension, be light of touch or lock into a heavy groove, because they do that too. http://youtu.be/O6lvuWDZpPA
