Post Reply - Avant-Garde Metal Appreciation Thread

Ulver, Arcturus and Solefald are awesome! 

Heres a few of my faves:

Thought Industry.
Though the 1st album is like a Tech-Thrash/Math/Prog Metal album with wild left turns, its
the 2nd album that goes totally Avant Garde.  The albums after that sadly start to lose all
metal aspects.  Oberland's brilliant Poetry turned into Metal madness are a great read and
often hillarious.  But its these 2 albums that were way ahead of their time and over the heads
of most . . . maybe still is. (111mzd!).

Unfortunately no-one has put-up tracks from "Songs for Insects" but . . .
2nd Album gets more Avant Garde. "Mods Carve The Pig: Assassins, Toads and God's flesh".
"Date Rape Cookbook":

(Lyrics are also included under Vid at YOUtube).

"Gelatin":


Sculptured
These guys are all over the place, at times sound like Ulver and Arcturus, and then . . .
something else, can be weird but really neet stuff, not afraid to use "Trumpets and Trombones"
either!
Their 1st "The Spear of the Lily is Aureoled" I have not heard till I put this up, but have read about
it since its release (Much like Opeth's 1st 3 albums, many people talking how different they were)
and now I understand why.
"Almond Beauty":


"Between Goldberg":


"Embodiement of the purest form of horror":

(fine tuning their sound and better engineering)
