BIG nod towards this band. A minority of people probably noticed from my 'location' and 'sig' I'm a massive fan. I would suggest starting with their album Omnio. Very emotionally power music. Sadly they are mostly unknown here and everywhere.



I saw your location days after you changed it.Wink

I'll have to think Ivan (Trickster) for showing me this band as well as a couple others that I now highly enjoy.

I haven't heard much of this genre, but I'm on it.  I've still yet to listen to Unexpected and Ephel Duath, but I'll try to prioritize this.

Kudos to Negura Bunget and their stunning 2002 album. Thumbs%20Up

I'm going berserk with Arcturus as of late so Big%20smile

The Sham Mirrors is a tad cheesy but the vocals and keyboards are epic

Trust me,dude.


Seriously.  Pure classy metal. I suggest starting with   "The Painter's Palette"   It is crutial to enjoy crazy up tempo & jazzy style playing to enjoy it though.

I enjoy listening to Mike Patton's projects, especially Mr Bungle and Faith No More (not the most avant-garde but still, Mike Patton)

Arcturus are awesome too, and there's a band from the Netherlands called Freak Neil Inc, also, great avant garde metal.
I can't really get into "over-psycho" bands like Naked City, or other projects of John Zorn. it's way too much crazy.
Sorry if i have spelling mistakes, english is not my mother tongue.

^ Listen to Fantomas, their debut album is - for me - one of the real key albums of Avant-Garde Metal.

I personally like Suspended Animation more, but they're mostly in the same vein....although that may not be the best recommendation for someone who doesn't want something "too crazy" LOL

they're kinda a mishmash of every style

California's probably their most normal album but it's also my favorite
I like the other two though I haven't listened in a while
if something's annoying with them take it as tongue in cheek because thats basically how they are

Any discussion involving Mike Patton and metal has to include a nod to his incredible collaboration EP with the Dillinger Escape Plan - "Irony Is A Dead Scene". That stuff is insane ... chaotic, violent, and bizarre. The track "When Good Dogs Do Bad Things" is intensely awesome.

Alright, specifics, please.

I like bands like Mr. Bungle, Estradasphere, Unexpect, Peccantum, Fantomas, Subterranean Masquerade and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
 
What do you think I would like?
[QUOTE=darkshade] [QUOTE=Sckxyss]
I'm disappointed - neither of these players are avant-garde!

Al di Meola.

If you haven't given them a try yet, Secret Chiefs 3!
 
Trey Spruance does a wicked job with these albums, that still have the genre-hopping of Mr. Bungle just focused more around arabic type music (they also sound a lot like estradasphere off your list there).
 
Also, try John Zorn's stuff (starting with Naked City, which is downright jaw-dropping)
 
There ya go!
