Mostly ProgMetal/Djent. Some artists inspire me a lot while coding:

  - Plini
  - Intervals
  - David Maxim Micic
  - Arch Echo
  - Animals as Leaders
  - Polyphia
  - Scale the Summit
  - Angel Vivaldi
  - ... etc – a.k.a. their related artists

There's also this album I used to listen to while reading Blood Meridian and nowadays while coding:

  - Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method by Earth

Hope they inspire you too ;-)

You and I have similar tastes. I'd also like to through in some names for this genre... - Cloudkicker - Pomegranate Tiger - The Helix Nebula

Outside of this, I really like video game music while coding. Anything from the Playstation 1 era, namely the Final Fantasy 6-10 soundtracks, both OST and orchestra versions. Nobuo Uematsu is incredible.

Nice additions! Your taste is good, sharp! And WOW, Nobuo Uematsu is really incredible. Thanks for the recommendations!

Glad to see this here! Modern Day Babylon are great for those looking for instrumental work in the same sphere as the above. Disperse as well - Jakub Zytecki is a fantastic guitarist and features on a lot of David Maxim Micic's work.

I didn't know Modern Day Babylon nor Dirsperse, really nice artists! Thank you for both recommendations! \m/

I'd like to add in Cloudkicker, which sounds a bit different than straight Djent, but has gotten me through a lot of college.

Thanks for recommending Cloudkicker! I've heard (and favourited) one of their tracks (Genesis Device) and already followed them on Spotify but I didn't remember. >_<
