Default metal bands doing acoustic instrumentals

It always seems like heavier bands (not sure all the ones I'm about to mention are considered "metal" but I don't put too much focus on genre arguments anyway) have the best acoustic instrumentals. I've found that they are usually the songs that relax me most, but I have so few of them to actually listen to.

Some of my favorite instrumentals include:
"Subtleties" by My Bitter End (this is probably one of my favorite songs actually)
"Fifteen Fathoms Counting" by Bring Me The Horizon (the most listened to song on my iPod)
"I Am Yours" by Texas In July
"Acoustic Melody" and "Timeless" by In Flames
"The Mind's Eye" Dark Tranquility
"Crystal Ann" by Annihilator


Any suggestions of more are welcome!!!

Ulver has some interesting results in this category.

Well, if you insist on the acoustic nature of these instrumentals, I recommend you check out Drudkh. "Songs of Grief and Solitude" could be accuratelly described as ambient music played with folk instruments. Good stuff.

Also, if you're willing to go beyond a fetish for the guitar, there are a lot of released by metal bands (or musicians) who have released ambeint electronic works. Fenriz of Darkthrone has releases in this vein, as does Burzum, Beherit, Ildjarn-Nidhogg, Mortiis, etc....

Neither of those songs are actually acoustic or instrumental though.

the bmth and texas in july were the first I thought of.
but check out:
"Tragedy, tears, and sorrow" by feed her to the sharks
"Risandi Von", "deyjandi von", and "nyfaedd von" by Heaven Shall Burn
"Minuet" by From first to last. (not really metal, but still of a rock genre)

It sounds acoustic, but I could be wrong. I'll put it here anyway:
