I'm a huge fan of post rock but just to broaden my horizons a little, I'd like some recommendations on instrumental rock that's more.. rocking? But not Kinsky cuz I already know them.
Instrumental rock
Oliver Adams
Carter Smith
Neu! '75, such a great mix of ambient, driving instrumental rock and even one pre-punk track, it's a fav of mine
Ryder Green
And So I Watch You From Afar
They used to be pretty big on Any Forums. They are usually lumped in with 'post-rock', but they're much more energetic and fun than your average post-rock band.

Camel - The Snow Goose

I'm actually listening to Neu! right now lol.
Had the privilege of seeing them when they were awesome af but was disappointed the second time I saw them on their Al Hail Bright Futures tour.
Go on then. Give us a listen.

Oh, I also know Sleep.

The best rock instrumental ever's probably "Maggot Brain":
But you've probably heard of it already.
There were some good instrumentals on the Rocksmith songlists, and they never got all that popular:
Oliver Parker

i knew these guys when they were starting out and everyone called them and so I watched bored from the bar.
they had the last laugh on all of us by becoming successful and touring the world
Anthony Allen
agree with the maggotbrain suggestion.
Also, OP, most of the 'instrumental metal' I've heard I haven't enjoyed but seem to remember
buckethead, um...lol...animals as leaders? I can't remember was years ago. something like brainscanner or chimpscanner? Dysrythium??
Fuck I have no idea.
Blotted Science, oh yeah that was one.
Encyclopedia Mettalum may help you out (more) if you don't find what you're looking for here?
I dunno, I'm not mentioning the sludge or drone metal as I don't care for that too much.
"instrumental progressive metal", are the labelled genres of the bands I've mentioned.
