Weird Metal Bands

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Also, depending on what you mean by "weird," some Bal Sagoth is worth checking out.

Holy fuck that Neoandertals link was mental. Blew my balls off, what the fuck.

Totally fuckin agreed

Only oldweird is trueweird

Absolute Zero, tech thrash-y metal with the most fucked up metal arrangements of the 80s, Watchtower meets The Accused is how I like to describe them



Spectral Incursion, weird prog metal that doesn't sound particularly like anyone, with unusually good lyrics too



Arpia, the kvltest of Italian psych-doom



Dwarr, quintessential outsider metal



Holocaust post-NWOBHM, they took a lot of Killing Joke and Voivod influence in and made some odd proggy metal



Threshold, they're kinda shit but it's thrash with moaned vocals, chilly harmonized guitars, and flange effects out the ass that gives it a unique sound



Deliverance, speed/black metal right on the border between comical and spooky, sounds like something a plunderphonics artist would create today in parody of 80s metal, amazing atmosphere



Living Death, underappreciated 80s geniuses, they had a huge breadth of riffing styles and very inaccessible songs and vocals



Mekong Delta, Living Death's nerdy educated twin brother that listens to Mussorgsky habitually

That Holocaust is interesting. I had no idea they got so strange.

I think Spectral Incursion and Holocaust were my favorite out of these! Especially Holocaust. I love that fuzzed out dissonance-influence from Killing Joke (my favorite Post-Punk band ever.)

 

[Sophii]

Also Dwarr is like The Residents of metal.

 

[Sophii]

Also.
If none of you are familiar with Dr.Slaggleberry.

Check this shit out.

The Lost Archives Of Channeling Expeditions Through The Cosmos badly needs a reissue, people are selling it for extortionist prices.

Thats crazy!! Are they split up? That would probably be why its so pricey. And the rarity of the release.

 

[Sophii]

Oh! Here are some more weird bands.

Circle of Dead Children (Deathgrind with weird production elements)

https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=sit7q22RJ5Y

Shrüm (Industrial Sludge Metal with Black Metal vocals and two bass players. Formed by late bassist of Acid Bath)

https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=IZ393fjm_WA

Cornbugs (One of Buckethead's bands with actor Bill Moseley on vocals. Its just weird by default)

https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=W6UW55lwAd4

7.5 Tonnes of Beard (Guitarless Sludge Metal that incorporates Beatdown hardcore elements. Reminds me of Iron Monkey with nothing but breakdowns)

https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=gvbQkL2vdZI

Unorthodox (Doom Metal that takes elements from Thrash and Progressive Metal. Underdogs of the Maryland Doom Metal scene.)

It's more likely just pricey because it was a limited underground run with no reissues at all.

Aah understood. A reissue would be sweet!

Didn't think you liked Slam though.

 

[CiG]

I don't, but I do enjoy some brutal death.

 

[Sophii]

Understood.

Its hard for me to distinguish the two sometime.
