innovation , new sounds , different instrumentations, new compositions, new mixtures , experimentation, over a metal base, that could define avant-garde metal, and progressive metal too.

With experimental, you experiment. You don't know what'll come up. With avant-garde... well... you know some facked up shit will come up. Controlable chaos

Avant-garde is supposed to be about innovation, not constantly changing genres.

Oh- try out Gorgache. It's a strange instrumental piece that I did.

'I think too many people confuse this genre with technical metal of sorts.' Yeah. I agree. 'There is no avant-garde metal. It's just avant-garde - a mix of everything and much more.' Good point. Am considering.

But the most important element on avant-garde music is experimentalism

there are some band that i think they're not avant-garde. They just use some non metal instrumental and play technical/progressive. it's more experimental than avantgarde :P

Thy Catafalque should be in the top artists. One of the best avant-garde metal band.
