Montréal, Québec, Canada (1996 – present)

uneXpect is an Avant-garde metal band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They mix elements of Black, Death, Progressive and Melodic Metal; Classical, Operatic, Medieval, Goth, Electro, Ambient, Psychotic, Noise and Circus Music with an occasional jazzy touch. With a crew composed of 7 different beings, the atmosphere sometimes takes a form of symphonic proportion by its sound diversity and arrangements. Their vocal performance range from one extreme to the other as they alternate between glorious choirs; inhuman screams of deep, high, mid-growl and delirious intensity; theatrical narrations and clean/sober sections strewn with bewitching feminine singing pleasures.

    all my anxiety is going away listening to this! :D

    @chimera963chris: I can't agree more with you. Dream Theater with Unexpect was mindblowing as far as Unexpect goes, and a terrible let-down from the DT-front. Later when I saw DT again, they were much better. Perhaps they just seemed unimpressive after being blown away by Unexpect live.

    v I think Diablo Swing Orchestra would be more suitable imo, especially the second album.

    I think this is one that sounds that Tim Burton should use in one of his new animated movies (...that I hope will be released asap!) :)

    @miotailtmilidh Just watch videos on YouTube, this band are flawless live, which is astounding, considering the technical density of their music. If it's not your kind of music, fair enough, but there is no denying this band's talent and capability. I was at the London date of that same tour, and Unexpect stole the show for me. Dream Theater were in the prime of their 'dark metal' phase and put on the most disappointing and unengaging performance I will ever see from them (and for the record they redeemed themselves on their recent tour with Periphery--exceptional!).

    Have to agree on the Mutyumu comments below, that's some awesome music. Unexpect fans: check it out.

    Fables is much more organized and epic while Aquarium is more innovative and strikingly chaotic. I think both are especially great pieces of art, just a bit different. [2] Perfectly worded, I definitely agree.
