Swedish Avant-garde metal band. These guys are awesome.

Welp, that's the last time I try to introduce people to an interesting band. I guess people really would rather discuss Avenged Sevenfold.

Your thread's been up only a day. Give it time.

Yeah man, you got to give it some time.

As for the song you posted, I found the merging of genres interesting but didn't really care for the song you posted. It did pique my interest though. Care to post a few other songs by them you would recommend?

Their debut album, Butcher's Ballroom started out really strong, but I felt it kind of fizzling out towards the end as the novelty wore off. Their 2009 followup, Sing Along Songs for the Damned and Delirious was a bit more focused and put a bit more focus into the metal aspect, getting a tone very reminiscent of Meshuggah at times. They also did a lot more singing in English and toned down on the operatic moments to make it feel a bit more contemporary. It still had everything that made their debut memorable but just refined it. They have a new album coming out next month but I've yet to hear anything from it, but I also haven't really given it much attention as I'm still trying to get through my backlog of metal releases.

Well written, yeah. And I had no idea they were Swedish. It makes sense now. All the Swedish artists I listen to are weird (in a good way), quirky (like Mattias Eklundh of Freak Kitchen). Yeah, they're damn good at what they do and they've got a distinctive sound. The band Unexpect is following in those footsteps, whether they know it or not...

Definitely worth checking out:

Their new album leaked a few days ago, and frankly I think it's excellent. They get better with every release, IMO, with Guerilla Laments being my personal favourite from the album.

Good looking out, what's it called? I could google it, but I could just question drop this here and check back later ;D because I'm off to work.

I used to love these guys, haven't listened to them in a looooong time. Thanks for the heads up about the new album, I'll have to check it out.
