Listen to this band. I want to call them a metal band, but then they're really not.. but then they're so fucking heavy and intense at times, but still they have way too diverse and unique of a sound to be limited to 'metal'... I just don't know. They're the same sort of anti-genre music as Faith No More, but still totally different. Somewhat like taking Mikael Akerfeldt, Fredrik Thordendahl, and Mike Patton, stuffing them to the gills with PCP, shoving them all into a big oil drum and shaking it violenty for 20 minutes, then putting them in a room and telling them to play free-jazz. 
It's fucking great, get it, you'll trip out. There's some really strange female vocals throughout (the male vocals are just as strange), and weird screechy violin stuff (Like Warren Ellis from The Dirty Three), and a lot of other insane experimentation, all based around a really tight prog-metal core. And they're also maybe the only band I've ever heard that is obviously influenced by Meshuggah, but without sounding exactly like Meshuggah, just doing variations on riffs Thordendal wrote 10 years ago, which makes them one of the most unique things I've ever heard.
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, "Grand Opening And Closing", get it, ya bastards.
