avant garde metal

This thread makes me grab my sac like a stress reliever. "Avant-garde" literally means "before its time" too bad the avant-garde title has become another "progressive" title. so many bands flaunt the avant-garde label instead of a more accurate experimental label. true avant-garde metal bands include ephel duath, sigh, diabolical masquerade's death's design. arcturus isnt avant-garde, because there are atleast 10 bands that sound quite similar to them. avant-garde is a description of where the songwriter is in his writing style, innovation and theory, instead of the actual music itself.

uhh, thank you for lecturing me on morte macabre. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not any less bullshit than most labels that people give to music.

I love Avant-garde metal, it´s besides Symphonic Black Metal and Industrial Metal my favourite metal sub-genre.
I saw Arcturus (with Red Harvest) last year and it was one of my best shows ever. The show was about 90 minutes :O
Avant-garde tha I can recommend you:
Arcturus (Nor) - masterpiece
Carnival in Coal - very chaotic...Patton like
Dodheimsgard - Black Metal, Avant-Garde/Industrial Metal; I love it, very original
Ensoph - very catchy and great melodies
Ephel Duath - Avant-garde jazz / metal; highly recommended if you like metal + jazz
Faith No More - you know this band....
Fantômas - the best Pattons side project for me, impresive, chaotic, lunatic
In the Woods... - they have a nice progress from BM to a-g
Mr. Bungle - another Patton, you can´t go wrong with him
Peccatum - Emperor´s older brother, I like I a lot, highly recommended
Solefald - I am not into it much, its biggest good point is Lars, but lot of people like them so....
Windham Hell - CHECK THIS OUT

holy shit carnival in coal is great...totally fucked up.. i love it

peccatum has a nice sound

windham hell is cool (i should get window of souls)

thanks for recommending these bands, i listened to them for the first time, and its good stuff. cheers! :kickass:

anybody heard of Giant Squid on The End label?
