Post the metal acts or individual albums that you consider the most unique from your collection (or just have heard). For me, the following acts spring to mind: Hail Spirit Noir - psychedelic black metal. A term that is often misused, but these guys actually nail it. I have heard some call them 'Black Floyd' before now. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/hail-spirit-noir/?ac=hail%20spirit%20n" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/hail-spirit-noir Breed 77 - Alternative Metal with Flamenco elements. This lat metal band adds flamenco guitar passages to their sound. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/breed-77" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/breed-77 Aquilus - atmospheric black metal with extensive classical passages and dark folk elements. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/aquilus" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/aquilus Might be more later, short of time right now. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

^ Yep they'd certainly qualify from what I've heard of them. Another one from me - Panopticon. Not all the time but certainly on Kentucky. Alternates between atmospheric black metal and bluegrass. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Völur can also fit this thread I think. At least for their album Ancestors (2017). Doom metal meets dark/nordic folk with a touch of black metal - but no guitars. All driven by bass, violin and keys. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

That's the last one I can list from my CD collection. I'm sure avant-garde metal has a lot of very unique acts (since that is, you know, the point). ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Yeah I guess they are, although I've always seem them as far more on the gimmicky side of things. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Own? Probably Songs for Insects or early Powerman 5000 (Haven't heard anything quite like it, closest comparison is if Clutch made a nu metal album) Heard? Either Diablo Swing Orchestra, Slab!, or Психея (nu metal band that utilizes elements of breakbeat and drum and bass)
