I have to give that Fantomas album another listen, as parts were awesome, parts were perplexing in a fun way, but in all it was just confusing. Not necessarily bad confusing, as Patton clearly revels in making his listeners do a double take at their speakers, but I still don't quite know what to make of what sounds like a bunch of random sound experiments that I'm supposed to accept as an actual album.
Dodheimsgard would be a great inclusion as well. As per Fantomas, just take it for what it is and consider that as an album I guess. It sounds less like random experiments to me after repeated listens, but I did get that vibe at first.

Also, come to think of it, I think that Bungle would be more appropriate in the alternative metal category.
