I'm getting bored with my current collection of music. Hopefully some of you can recommend me some music to try. I like a lot of instrumental music such as Joe Satriani, Dream Theater, yngwie malmsteen. I also like lots of metal bands such as metallica, megadeth, testament, in flames, children of bodom, soilwork, etc. I generally like upbeat and aggressive but melodical sounding music with a lot of detail. My favorite part of most songs is the guitar solo and instrumental pieces. I love the instrumentals of some of the newer metal bands (especially the sweedish bands like bodom and inflames) but i have a difficult time accepting the screaming. I also like techno and other genres of music, but i generally only like melodical and complex stuff. Any recommendations?


EDIT: I absolutely HATE emo/punk/hardcore or whatever you call that stuff.

The Black Mages CD. Metal renditions of various Final Fantasy battle themes. Very melodic, all instrumental, and guitar heavy.

The Resistors! A German band from the 80s-90s. Might be a little too "hardcore/punk" for you, but its heavy and tight and fast, yet not at all sloppy.

Check out Beautiful Creatures, particularly their first album. I recommend the songs New Orleans and Wasted.

PAIN OF SALVATION!!!!!!!! THEY ARE AMAZING! very melodic and skilled musicians.

very proggish, heavily influenced by Dream Theater........

Tool + Dream Theater = Pain of Salvation

also check out Office of Strategic Influence, who has DT's first keyboardist and Mike Portnoy (DT) on drums.. more like Tool than DT though...

I came from the same boat but kinda grew into more fusion stuff. From that point on, Dream Theater would sound like child's play : ) Check out Guthrie Govan.
