Post Reply - Avant-Garde Metal Appreciation Thread

Hmmm . . .

I'm a HUGE fan of Fredrik Thordendals Solo Album (he should make more!) but I wouldnt exactly call
it "Avant Garde" (imo), the only really thing that is "Weird" about it is the (Harsh)Vocals which may be
really irritating to some, but for me the music is just too brilliant.  I'd put it in the Tech-Thrash/Math Metal
territory (So I guess that means "Prog Metal" ).

Here . . .
YOU decide :


The Bonus Track: "Missing Time" really shows his love of Guitarist "Allan Holdsworth" .

Actually . . .

I'd put Meshuggah's "Catch33" in the Avant Garde catagory for sure!(well . . . it pretty much is all
over the place as Metal goes):

Be prepared for your Brain to implode in the 7th demension . . .

Extreee Note: When listening to above track, 1. Hopefully youre into the Avant Garde stuff. 2. be
patient, this album really had to grow on me, and I had to take it out of context of a typical
Meshuggah Album, this was very experimental for them.  The drums were actually "programmed"
by each member but all the sounds are sampled from Haak's Drum kit (), the above Track is
meant to be like a "Trip" . . . where that trip goes, is pretty scary .
