Can anyone name some instrumental metal bands?

Very true. The issue stems from when it is too awesome for the person's ears, you need to ease them into the awesomeness.
Or maybe you just shouldn't start with limbs and the sometimes painful feedbackish sounds at the beginning. Mantle would be a good place to introduce someone to them though.
edit: The main problem with them is that their sound is unique enough that nothing else really fits when you want to hear more, but are tired of hearing the same songs over again. There are the EPs still, but those are all limited edition things, and I am too poor to buy them from someone else.
David_Dovey:
Man how is that feedback at the start of Limbs so fucking loud no matter how low I turn down the volume?
KharBevNor:
No! The only way to properly introduce someone to Agalloch is to strap them into a chair, tape a shisha up one of their nostrils, fill it with 30x Salvia Divinorum and then play The Grey EP on endless loop until they have achieved a higher tier of consciousness. You can note down everything they say and use it as the basis for a new religioun.
Also, I would heavily dispute the idea that the singing and lyrics is not absolutely integral to Agallochs work, though the instrumental side is pretty fucking orgasmic, what with being an utterly perfect fusion of black metal, neo-folk, post-rock and no wave, and all.

It's still all about The Kabinboy for me when it comes to instrumental metal. Their riffs were huge.
