Soul Cycle - Soul Cycle II (2012)

This is an amazing instrumental prog metal effort done through the collaboration of a ton of well-respected musicians including Vishal Singh of Amogh Symphony and Nolly Getgood of Periphery. The styles are, of course, different in each song given that each features different musicians, but throughout the compositions are absolutely top-notch. Scale the Summit and Animals as Leaders have some major competition here.
