"An eclectic band rooted in the creative soils of Montreal, Quebec. unexpecT is a metal laboratory mixing elements of black, death, core, symphonic, progressive and melodic metal; classical, operatic, medieval, goth, electro, ambient, psychotic, noise and circus music with an occasional jazzy touch. The septet includes a violin, keyboards/sampling, a singing contemporary dancer, a 9 stringed bass, 2 guitarists/singers and a drum. The vocal performance of the two singers range from an 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 a female singer who's angelic voice could melt the will of the most vile politician.
The ideas traveling in their art are related to the imagination and the inherent creative power of all human beings, subjective tales, trancelike sensorial exploration, undercover denunciation of social aspects and subconscious realities. So… still trying to figure Unexpect? Think Cirque du Soleil goes black metal amidst an acid-trip version of The Dark Crystal. A mind**** no doubt, but you get the picture. "
I thought some of you may be interested if you haven't already heard them, they seem to take a different veiw on music from what i've seen.
Their Bassist, "Chaoth" is very talented in my opinion, seems to mesh different techniques very well, tapping, slapping, and finger style stuff. He has become one of my favorites.
Keep in mind, i doubt alot of you will like them, they are quite odd, but the ones that like it, love it.
Check em out. Myspace.com/unexpect.
p.s. I'm not trying to sell the band, i just think you guys may like them.
