The Sixteenth Six-Tooth Son of Fourteen Four Regional Dimensions (Still Unnamed)

[MasterOLightning]

Demilich is certainly a unique band, but I don't think they are "avant-garde" as the OP said in another thread and implied in this one. Like VVVVV said, they embody death metal entirely. They aren't genre pushing like other bands mentioned here though.

 

[skeptik]

They push the boundaries of the Death Metal genre.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

They definitely do considering they embody death metal more than most other bands do. Total and utter macabre chaos. Wormed is another example, and they are also pretty original, not only musically (very extreme, creative songwriting, raw yet polished sound, interesting clean section, strange concepts) but also thematically...Wormed perfectly embodies death metal in the modern sense; total extreme brutality.

I think Phlebotomized and Atrocity are pretty unique. And Rhapsody, while not terribly unique, has made some top-notch symphonic stuff, i.e. "Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret".

Fleurety, In The Woods...

I heartily agree with both of these. We need another Fleurety record

 

[standablaze]

I have 2 In The Woods... albums and they are pretty intense. My gf hates listening to them!

I haven't ever attempted to listen to them (though I will soon). Anyway, can anyone describe their sound to me?

Me and me mate were discussing this one day, i'm in a rush so i will just state two obvious bands and reply with something better later. Cynic and later Death

it's kind of hard to pin them down. Agalloch gets compared to them quite a bit. They're in that experiment/progressive black metal vein. Get yourself Heart of the Ages and Omnio

I wouldn't compare them to Agalloch. In The Woods... are unique definitely.

 

[unknown]

I didn't say I would compare Agalloch to ITW

 

[standablaze]

Oh i didn't mean you in particular, just whoever does, it isn't much of a comparison!

[Scarifier]

Psychotic Waltz, havn't really got into them i only like the song mosquito, but i havn't heard anything too similar.

I think any more bands said after this point will be unkown to me... so get posting you knowledgeable bastards.

 

[Mort Divine]

Dornenreich, especially Herr Von Welken Nachten and onwards are pretty original.

 

[sikth]

Subterranean Masquerade sound pretty unique to me

 

[Mort Divine]

Diablo Swing Orchestra is original as hell, pretty catchy stuff too.

 

[CF87]

Demilich is one of those bands that should have released one more album. Swedish and finland death metal bands either can't keep a band together or sell out. THE CURSE OF THE BEST DEATH METAL!
