Scott's Instrumental Metal Track of the Day - Don't Stay Here by Frames

Today's Instrumental Metal Track is Don't Stay Here by the German band Frames. I was very confused when I was researching this track because there are lyrics in the YouTube comments and even lyrics posted on lyrics websites. It turns out fans just made up words to fit the song and people liked them so much they became somewhat unofficial lyrics. Weird but cool.

This is off of their 2012 album In Via.

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Deadhead by Devin Townsend Project

I still can't believe it took me until 2012 to really discover Devin Townsend. I laughed at his skullet during his Strapping Young Lad hears. Heck, I even dressed up for Halloween as the cartoon character based off of his image, Pickles from Dethklok, before I really knew who he was. I think he is one of the most talented individual artist in the business. He's funny and creative, writes beautiful music, and can belt some of the great vocals you'll ever hear. Today's Metal Track is just a small sample of his greatness.

This is Deadhead off his 2003 album Accelerated Evolution performed live in 2015 at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Enjoy!

We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them

and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."

Today's Instrumental Metal Track is a beautiful track by the Australian band We Lost the Sea. Challenger: Part Two - Swan Song is the closing track off of their 2015 album Departure Songs. This two part song pays homage to the Challenger explosion and the astronauts who lost their lives.
