I know just the thing, give a listen to these songs by Diablo Swing Orchestra: Wedding March for a Bullet, Ragdoll Physics, and Boogie Boogie Beyond that, I'd recommend the song A Shaman's Whisper by Gordian Knot and the song The Unpoetic Circle by Ephel Duath.

Are you referring to the layout?

Hehe, yes I am aware. I link to them and give them a good description. But our sites are very different from one another, so I can't steal business from them. I even posted this same promotional message on their discussion forums.

Hi there. I've just launched a new website, Transcix's Metal Archive: http://www.metalarchives.transcix.com It contains a variety of metal-related links on such topics as genre discussion, history, culture, politics, ideology, philosophy, spirituality, occultism, etc., in such mediums as...

Diablo Swing Orchestra's new album Sing Along Songs for the Damned and Delirious is really displeasing my ass! Man, why did I only read rave reviews for it? Seems really inferior to their previous effort, or at the very least it will appeal to a very much different audience, one in which I would...

Hmmmmm, thanks. Thanks a lot for all your help. :p It's OK, you had the best of intentions!

Hi there.. I hope this is the right place to ask this, if not the mods can move it at their discretion. I'm in the process of starting up a small-time metal website which, among other things, will feature an extensive links page about a range of metal topics including intelligent genre...

Mystic Forest - La Dame Verte

An old discordian saying goes something like this... My file folders went everywhere the other day, but when I put them back the order was all off. It probably happened when they fell, but in any case, it was a nice breath of fresh air.

Heh, I know what the longest growl/scream ever is - too long.

I should qualify this - I do not believe these bands only fall into the sub-genre of avantgarde, for example Transcending Bizarre would probably be avantgarde blackened death. Anyways, I'm always surprised how unpopular Age of Silence is, especially considering its line-up includes Lazare...

It seems to me that progressive metal compromises melodic continuity for the sake or harmonic complexity and compositional elegance (ex: Vintersorg's "Visiosn From the Spiral Generator" album). Avantgarde metal can also have harmonic complexity and compositional elegance but of a different...

Yeah I second Transcending Bizarre, check out their latest album.
