There are more albums to date now. Actually, almost 50 releases, and most of it online at bandcamp - where it did reach #1 best-seller at avant-garde and prog rock for months (all physical material announced before the new album was sold out). Stuff you should try:


new album, volume 2 coming soon. and the main reason i'm posting it back, it must be here in PA. I doubt you will have time to listen the 40 records, so focus on this one and the lenghty suite (prelude to this album) at Zolo Caust album.
"The collaborated works of L. Borgia Rossetti and Bruno Leal - previously displayed on albums like 'Zolo Caust!' and 'Slowa' - continues. After a few years working at Black Comedy Theater conceptual album series, finally the first volume is out! A work probably appealing to fans of Naked City, P-Model, Arrigo Barnabé, Cardiacs, Wha-Ha-Ha, Samla Mammas Manna, Picky Picnic, et al..." - album page

"Black Comedy Theater starts here! This album features the exclusive suite sent together with Concrete Jazz EP CDs (not available for streaming until now), while Volume 1 was being produced. This lenghty track is nothing less than the first epic solely produced by L. Borgia Rossetti and Bruno Leal, the roots of Black Comedy Theater and Slowa. The album also has a collection of "zolo" tagged tracks from L. Borgia Rossetti early tapes." - album page

"Slowa is a space-opera dedicated/inspired by the surreal/dark fantasy artist Zdzisław Beksiński. The album brings an unique concept, with a science fiction plot set in Beksiński's universe, bringing together elements and characters of Esmectatons and their musical influences into the chaotic environment of the paintings translated into sound. The results are nothing less than a zeuhlish abstract quest, from acoustic prog rock passages to the technical death metal riffs close to Voivod, Gorguts or the most unusual atmosphere to date. Once more, Esmectatons' up to show you the perfect balance between comical and darkness." - album page

The lenghty suite, Amnesia, it's like a weird mix of ambient, Faust/Ash Ra Tempel dark kraut stuff, and shoegaze.

The first side is a storytelling 20 min suite, kinda lo-fi at many moments, the budget weren't good enough yet, but very interesting if you listen to it entirely. The album comes with a novel in portugese, written by Esmectatons, and the track follows the events there. Side B are just demos and live versions of the death metal main theme in the middle of the suite.

and please don't lock the thread, Esmectatons archives are just too big and there's always a new album to evaluate.

Esmectatons EP is the best-seller in avantgarde tag and many others in the whole bandcamp.

I'm afraid to have missed this suggestion, just spotted in the forum. Apologies, will check soon.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

https://esmectatons.bandcamp.com/album/the-concrete-jazz-of-esmectatons-limited-ep-series-catalogue

the first box of 20 EPs were sold out then I started this new collection (link above). 
those tracks were fully recorded professionally, so, no more denial right?

As Ian and I will be away for the weekend, we'll get back to you next week. Hopefully Luca and Ori will also be available, so all the team will be able to evaluate.

More than 10 albums already available on bandcamp. there is more official releases too come out, but as I said, all this promotion is a plan to earn something and finish the hard job of those unreleased tracks. You can check some of them here https://archive.org/details/preview_201508

So, PA asked me at least one official release. Rock In Opposition is officialy available/re-released.

Rock In Opposition was officially re-released now, you can add Esmectatons to the archives without worry. You can buy it from Amazon, but WE DON't RECCOMEND IT. Buy direct from Esmectatons Bandcamp, or even download all the albums for free there Wink


Bene Gesserit Science was re-released under Year Zero Records (independent label). Follow the link featuring DL and a beautiful review for the album.

I have been listening to some of this Esmectatons stuff and i'm really digging it. I agree it reminds me of John Zorn, Mr Bungle, Faxed Head and much more. Avant to the max. Eclectic to the extreme. It should be here! Don't let this one slip into the forum abyss!

Check out Cult OF Dimentia

Although very different than all other releases, Offender was an official album, released with the support of the local authorities being distributed for free as part of a project against sex offenders/violence against women and children, since I did carry the wheight of a certain rape during my whole life, and it still affects me nowadays. Also, the album was released with the help of a professional sex offender therapist and the proto-new wave experimental musician Zan Hoffman (his discography counts with more than 200 albums since the 80s), responsible for the album art too.

Lucas, we can add you after the album has been released. Remember that there are rules about adding independent productions to the database - the recording has to be of professional quality. In any case, only two of us have chimed in so far, and we need at least a third vote.

Zorn is more accurate, and I think that came to mind at some point too. 
New album!

Thanks for ever being supporting me, Greg. Wait until the upload of the other recordings and the new album, they're even more weird.

I have heard comparisons to Residents early irregular albums, TG, Zoviet France... It's great being recognized after so many years recording through official studios, capturing ambient and other sounds to mix in the most... ugly form, home tapes, and of course, live performances from local pubs to some random clubs while visiting las vegas and san francisco. It's just my job. Thanks for listening.

Reminds me of Mr. Bungle at their most experimental. Regardless of the quality, I think the avant prog is there. 
New album!
