Post-Black Metal/Blackgaze

The only Arcturus album I'm really a fan of is their 2002 one The Sham Mirrors.

Like I said, avant garde is just as murky and I actually get a chuckle when people actually try to differentiate how an avant garde metal band is different from an experimental metal band when I think of the terms as completely interchangeable with the latter being used by wankers.

I thought there was an actual difference between experimental and avant garde.

If you can explain it then by all means, but I do think we're getting a little off-topic here.

I've heard a lot of good things about that Deafheaven album so maybe I will give it a try. I've always been pretty lukewarm on Alcest though, and everything else I've heard just sounded like a derived version of their albums so I don't know if I'll be quite as on board with Sunbather (2013) as everyone else.
