Instrumental progressive metal is a subgenre of metal that emphasizes complex compositions, technical proficiency, and dynamic soundscapes without the inclusion of vocals. Artists in this genre, like Scale The Summit and I Built the Sky, craft intricate and often lengthy tracks that combine distorted guitar riffs, melodic solos, and asymmetric time signatures with a variety of other musical influences. The absence of singing allows the musicians to explore the full range of their instruments, creating elaborate musical narratives that can evoke a wide array of emotions and images in listeners. Serving as a platform for virtuosic display, instrumental progressive metal often incorporates elements from jazz fusion, classical, and ambient music, leading to a multifaceted and immersive listening experience.
