This might be an AWESOME year for Avant-garde metal! The new Polkadot Cadaver is great, obviously the new Unexpect is coming out in two weeks. Also, both Stolen Babies, and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum are supposed to released stuff this year!

EDIT: Diablo Swing Orchestra too!!!

FUCKING SWEET.

Also, DFD are doing reunion gigs

Man, I can't get enough of Polkadot Cadaver's latest album.

SO GOOD! My favourite tracks right now are probably: Cake and Eat it Too, Starlight Requiem and Slaughterhouse Striptease.

Why can't Aberdeen have Polkadot Cadaver fans like this:

Bump for recent discovery. Tayobo. They are like...if System of a Down and Mike Patton all collectively had children together.

Swedish avantgarde metallers Diablo Swing Orchestra have set Pandora's Piñata as the title for its third album, set to be released in the first quarter of 2012.

In a short update on Facebook, the band says: "Ladies and gents, we just finished our last rehearsal before the recordings will begin and we finally agreed on a title: Pandora's Piñata. Album will be released in the first quarter of 2012 so be patient and stay tuned for sneak peaks of what to come!"

More crazy opera/swing metal is always good. Bring it on.

I read that not too long ago, but forgot this thread even existed to post it in

But yeah, so much excitement for this release. DSO are incredible.

New Diablo Swing Orchestra song out and it's pretty awesome.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #156 on:** May 07, 2012, 12:00:47 AM »

The entire album is fucking astounding. Possibly their best album yet.

Sigz · « **Reply #157 on:** May 07, 2012, 06:50:40 AM »

I can't really get into DSO properly. They have a few songs I fucking love, but as a whole I get kinda bored by their albums.

Only read the bottom part, like a moron.

I'm officially okay with this. Play a show in Cleveland and play 1997 at it, please and thank you.

crazyaga · « **Reply #164 on:** June 09, 2012, 10:03:35 AM »

i love Bath and Choirs Of The Eye
can anyone suggest me albums that are considered Avant Garde/Experimental Metal classics?

Sigz · « **Reply #165 on:** June 09, 2012, 10:18:27 AM »

Get Leaving Your Body Map if you don't have it already.

Both of Unexpect's albums are excellent.

Grand Opening and Closing by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

There Be Squabbles Ahead by Stolen Babies.

crazyaga · « **Reply #166 on:** June 09, 2012, 10:19:23 AM »

Listen to Róka Hasa Rádió by Thy Catafalque.

They aren't talked about here much, but this album is very good and worth a listen, as long as you don't mind listening to lyrics all in Hungarian.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #169 on:** June 09, 2012, 10:34:48 AM »

If you don't mind some black metal being thrown into the mix, anything by Sigh. Lots of exciting ideas and experimentations while still remaining surprisingly accessible.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #170 on:** June 09, 2012, 10:43:19 AM »

Of Natural History is easily the best Sleepytime album.

There are three Unexpect albums and an EP, noob.

Also, another band I've been majorly into lately is Akphaezya. They've got two albums out, one of which just came out a couple months ago. These guys kick all sorts of ass.

Zantera · « **Reply #173 on:** June 09, 2012, 11:53:05 AM »

Dir En Grey is probably my favorite Avant-Garde Metal band. Uroboros and Dum Spiro Spero.

With that said, the genre has lots of good stuff. Kayo Dot, Maudlin of the Well and so on.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #174 on:** June 09, 2012, 06:59:48 PM »

Sigh is quite easily the best avant-garde metal band around. They have 9 albums and an EP, all of which are awesome. The best starting point is Imaginary Sonicscape, followed by In Somniphobia.
