Experimental death Metal

[Zako]

This stuffs pretty cool, very impressive i say for being a four piece

The guitarists does all the effects with a massive amount of pedals i assume.

And the bassist is awesome, some of the stuff you just wouldn't usually expect, like finger tapping over a break down

Pretty sweet. Very intense.

I really dig this way-over-the-top approach.

Are into Meshuggah and/or Origin as well?

[Zako]

Im not that into meshuggah, there just to repetitive for me, dont get me wrong they're amazing musicians, just not that into em.

Iv seen origin once and they're pretty sweet, their bass player is probably one of the fastest iv seen

Psyopus, listen to these guys, arpmandude is incredible.

and the relatively new iwrestledabearonce,

they're strange, but damn good. can't think of just one genre.

i prefer psyopus though, and give unexpect a listen if you get the chance, 7 string beebass-er.

[IconBasser]

*sigh* they'd be so much better without the lame hardcore vocals.

'right so:P

and this, bit'a harsh vocals but otherwise, nice and proggy.

and i know what you mean, sometimes the harsh vocals can drown out or bring a band down, but there are some great exceptions i think. then again its all a matter of taste. can't really stand much of rush on my part tbh, as epic as they are at times:P

Not death metal really at all

[All_¥our_Bass]

I don't care what it is really (I'll agree it's not really death metal) but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

[Pedulla?]

I love Iwrestledabearonce and Unexpect!

[MaskedJackal]

iwrestledabearonce are a bunch of trendy hipsters who can't write remotely coherent songs. Zero substance.

Bands to check out:
Pan-Thy-Monium-- Crazy old Dan Swano project
Phlebotomized-- Finnish avant-garde death metal
Korova-- Their album A Kiss in the Charnel Fields is bizarre avant-garde DM. THey love carnie music, classical touches, black metal, and even some groovy boogie parts.

Sculptured is Don Anderson of Agalloch's project and if you like Cynic or Opeth you'll adore their last record, Embodiment. Don used a lot of atonal composing methods like matrices and the riffs are just bizarre.

Sculptured has tickled my fancy, MaskedJackal, thanks for sharing!

Here's a metal band I've been listening to in the past few months.

Obscura - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mesr2siegRg

If you like Necrophagist and have a slight fetish for fretless bass in metal, then this is for you. Lots of people just call them a Necrophagist clone, Obscura having 2 ex-members of the band, but I don't think they are at all. Jeroen Paul Thesseling (ex-Pestilence) is absolutely masterful in his bass playing.

One more band that I have been listening to is "maudlin of the Well". I am not going to attempt to describe them -
This song is the opening track from their album "Leaving Your Body Map" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGq6o...eature=related

If you were dis-heartened by that track, then try this one, the third track from the same album - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGZl2U4jv-M

[MaskedJackal]

When I think "experimental," personally, I think outright bizarre. Obscura are true greatness, to be sure, but I'd call them more technical/prog. BLAH BLAH GENRIFICATION BLAH

[Arctopus]

Oh yeah man, for sure, I'm sayin' the same thing...and I know what you mean about labeling everything ;_;.

"What kind of music is it?"

"OH WELL IT'S KINDA LIKE BLUEGRASSJAZZDEATHARTSHOEGAZECORE"
