Scott's Instrumental Metal Track of the Day - Intermission/ATON by The Depth Beneath Us

Saturday marked 8 years since I started my Metal Tracks blog. I don't have an exact count of posts but it's around the 2900 different tracks now. It's been difficult to post everyday but it's also challenged me to find new music that might not otherwise have discovered. 

Kind of like today's Instrumental Track from The Depth Beneath Us. I discovered them going down a YouTube rabbit hole one day searching for new instrumental bands. I really like their 360 music videos and of course their post rock vibe. Today's track is a twofer with Intermission followed by ATON. Last time I posted they were kind enough to leave a comment stating that they are in the process of recording their debut album.
