Bands that I would like in the same manner that I like Arcturus

[Terminus Est]

Well I only know and love two Avant-Garde metal bands and they are Arcturus and Scald(a still-as-of-now little-known band from Northern Ireland), but let's keep anything Scald-related as a separate subject here as they have nothing to do with the likes of Arcturus. Right now I feel like being reccomended something that I may enjoy similarly as I enjoy Arcturus(I love both their LMI and TSM albums). The band that you may reccomend may or may not quite fall in the avant-garde metal category, but just so long as they may do as much for me as Arc, ok.

the debut from AGE OF SILENCE is a killer album. very similar to arcturus, and actually feature some of the members of arcturus.

winds (some members are also in age of silence) may also be a good choice. also, the recent enslaved album (below the lights) may be to your liking

but above all, get that age of silence album. its amazing

enjoy

Diabolical Masquerade and Sigh are two good recommendations. You might also like Winds, though I thought they were a bore, much like The Sham Mirrors.

ALso, you must hear Fleurety's Min Tid Skal Komme

i loved the sham mirrors.

Aberrant Vascular is something you might want to check out. The feel is a bit similar to LMI, and they have a low-operatic singer. Right now they only have a ten minute demo out, but it's available for free download on their site. At least it's worth checking out. It's very promising. I can't wait for them to release an album.

Ephel Duath ??

Listen to Ephel Duath. Everyone.

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

So does Neonism have more of a focus on clean vocals?

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Ephel Duath's early things were symphonic-black, as opposed to the jazz-core opethmaniac is thinking of. I need to get the old stuff still....
