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.

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. alsoleilindelissohot.

Just came here under the random influence of Unexpect's awesomeness. They are amazing and they are bringing so much diversity into my musical taste. Fuck yeah for such avant-garde !

'Fables' is a great album. I saw in Prog Archives that someone compared it to 'Tales from Topographic Oceans' - high praise indeed. But why the silly male vocal mannerisms? (No, not talking about Jon Anderson!) It makes the music feel caricatured in places. Otherwise, a stunning album and am grateful to a friend on Last FM for the recommendation!

I'd really like to enjoy the good parts of the new album, if I weren't so put off by the bad parts, e.g. annoying opera-vocals, "daring" ADD breaks, film music clichés, "chaotic" songwriting in the vein of later Dillinger Escape Plan, bla. Their drummer should go join a decent band.

fans of this band, you guys should check out Enditol, only male vocals but very avant-garde and progressive, definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of Unexpect
