Avant-garde Metal Bands

[Defiance]

Hi all!

Since we all love Avant-Garde Metal, and definitely have similar tastes, I ask you to make a list of all the bands that you know of this genre . I need to diversify my A-G bands a bit, hence I ask.

Right now I can think of:

Arcturus (duh)
Solefald (duh duh)
uneXpect
Professor Fate (+-)
Vulture Industries

Carry on my friends!

Avantgarde as a genre is hard to define but if all of us listen and know the bands Defiance said, we should have a basic concept.

Vintersorg
Ulver
Diablo Swing Orchestra
Age Of Silence
Ihsahn

More or less A-G:
Ram-Zet
Code
Sigh
Angizia
Angst Skvadron
Dismal Euphony
Fleurety
Virus
Ved Buens Ende
In Tormentata Quiete
Fantomas
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Covenant/The Kovenant
Dodheimsgard
Abigor (latest offerings)
Borknagar (I think they went a little A-G with Universal)
Anorexia Nervosa (not sure about them)

I have a bunch of post (symphonic) black-dark cabaret stuff, but on this moment I can't think on names.

I think that web-page is more about Black metal than A.V.

Thank you all for the recommendations!

Asgaard are a pretty good, obscure example. I think I've mentioned these guys in one of the recommendations threads, but they really kick ass. Their frontman is quite talented; does the most brutal screams to the most epic cleans
