hey there i was wondering what other opeth listeners thought about bands like Age of Silence, Winds, Arcturus and Green Carnation. Would u consider them in the same vein as Opeth? i mean, they more of progressive but i still find them avant garde esque at times
avant garde metal

eh...when I think of avant garde metal I think of stuff like Ephel Duath, Naked City and Painkiller (with John Zorn), Brutal Truth, and even newer stuff like Dillinger Escape Plan. But out of the ones you mentioned, I'd say especially Arcturus can be real out there at times.

I love Winds and Arcturus. I've heard a little Age Of Silence, and I dunno... I just didn't think it was that good. Nowhere near Winds standard. Is 'The Concept Of Haste' one of their better songs?
I'm probably mistaken in my definition, but I alwyas think of 'avant-garde' as something truely out-there and weird. By this definition, I think of Blut Aus Nord, Ephel Duath (with whom I'm not that familiar yet) and Today Is The Day.

i don't think Blut Aus Nord are avant garde...
They're more black metal
But i don't really care for all this categorising of music, it makes no difference
I mean can someone tell me what Avante Garde Death Noise CrustCore with a proggy theme is?
I just class music as good or bad and leave it at that
I think people miss out on a lot of good music because they saay they don't like a certain style, for ages i said i hated Metalcore and wouldn't listen to any of it but then i heard a Glaswegian Metalcore band called Mendeed and it was just so fucking good
So the morale of the story is...uhhh.... who knows, i was just ranting

AMEN TO THAT!!!
Fantastic, a likeminded Scotsman! It's so true, whats the point of categorising? I like music. ALL styles. It's not about the style. It's about whether or not it's any fuckin' good!

Whereabouts do you come from? I hail from the fair (cough cough) town of Glasgow
Cool, the guitarist is my friend's cousin but for some reason i saw them supporting Dragonforce which i thought was a bit of a clash...

Yes, but Scottish money is the same as English money, but with different designs on it. It IS the same, and by law should be accepted all over the UK. Except for £1 notes

You just listed 5 of my top 20 favorite bands. They are all progressive. And I would classify Winds and Arcturus as avant garde. Though I'm not sure what that means.

theres this new band thats kind of avante gaurde. probably not as much as the bands you listed. But you guys should check them out. They are called Day Without Dawn and they have their full EP on myspace right now.

It's kind of like Tool, with a bit of Circa Survive emo/indie guitar embellishments. I think you all would like it
