Have you listened to Shining, Tore? They're definitely one of my favorite Norwegian bands. Their first two albums were pretty much straight free jazz but over time they've begun to incorporate a wide range of influences into their sound, to the point where their last album was closer to being avant-metal than jazz. I think you might like their albums In the Kingdom of Kitsch You Will Be a Monster and Grindstone since they hadn't gone quite so heavy at that point and also had somewhat of a prog influence.
