Unexpect - The Quantum Symphony

[WelcomeToInfinity]

I was listening to this song when a kid at my school asked me if I liked Avenged Sevenfold. Are you crazy? Of course I started laughing!!!!

[pjdevill]

AWESOME!!!

[Beatheduck]

Fables of the Sleepless Empire is a masterpiece<3

[vaiority]

holy fucking badass.

i think im in love <3

[MrPetipata]

They've done it. Again. It's simply Brilliant!!!

[TrancoTechnizer]

dunno, at first listening was chaotic, but I tried to listen to it again, and it was awesome

[BeckEhster]

this is all over the place haha

[Utubesuxmycock]

oh god...this shit is crazy...lol so chaotic

[izachROCKS]

Been obsessed with these guys ever since my buddy blasted them on my stereo system in my basement. It was beautiful. And i don't even like cookie monster vocals and silly stuff like that. I am primarily a jazz musician, but this is some the best music i have ever heard.

[tbrogoit02]

Mmmmmm, Musical Insanity.... Tasty

[TheOfficialSynthesis]

This band continues to define the word 'art' as we know it. Absolutely amazing.

[SaintRuben94]

Perfect music excists.



[xFFDP]

Best part of the song begins at 3:00

[ofendlessdoom]

i can't stop listening to this

this is the best band in the world

[UniverseRocket]

omg omg omg omg omg sexy

[cortarelva]

Its like getting into a room with 10 cd players playing 10 different music styles at the same time but somehow it all fits together perfectly. Im loving this band.

[DeSegura]

Best ending ever

[enoughtalkhaveatyou]

The male vocals remind of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum without the obnoxious "mankind sux boohoo" message.

[epicnation360DreamZZ]

amazing song have to agree

[BarbarisII]

absolutely amazing. just randomly clicking around on the site i found this, and im completely hooked. i can't get enough of this masterwork music. so original, and incredibly put together. im definitely sold.

[ObscureAlchemist]

WOW. They got good. This is like Flesh Aquarium +10. I shall buy it.

[Altairograph]

One of the most creative bands out there for sure. Not many bands can go outside the box and make it work as well as they can.

[psychometaldrummer]

This is actually awesome!

[Adampullae]

No thanks. 

[Megadedly]

@Adampullae Says the man who measures music with iTunes.

[Adampullae]

@Megadedly

You can measure music with ITunes?

[Megadedly]

@Adampullae Haha, you either blocked me or wiped your profile clean.

[Adampullae]

@Megadedly Yeah, I didn't do either of those things. But enough, huh. You think I suck because I didn't care for the music - let's leave it at that.

[Megadedly]

@Adampullae Ah it appears I've had you confused for someone else, but what I wanted to say is your taste isn't developed enough if you didn't enjoy this.

[Adampullae]

@Megadedly You? Confused? Bullshit! But for real, my taste is like 6 and a half inches developed....so there!

[Megadedly]

@Adampullae Fag.

[Adampullae]

@Megadedly Fag? I'll show you fag!! *wildly jerks off to your fancy guitar playin* 

[Megadedly]

@Adampullae Interesting; by the way, you're fairly average.

[Adampullae]

@Megadedly Fairly? I'll show you fairly you son of a bitch!!! *moonwalks on carpet*

[666Asmoday666]

TURBO GAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Megadedly]

@666Asmoday666 You're black coffee Satan fag.

[Yamasan0809]

相変わらずの変態っぷりだね。素敵!!!

[Mr666metaldeath666]

everyone is talking about great metal bands from Quebec such as Voivod, Anonymus, Ghoulunatics, Cryptopsy...that's so right, but i personnaly think UNexpect is still the real shit!

[k0lpA]

@Mr666metaldeath666 quo vadis and aeternam are great bands from quebec too, tho you are right unexpect is the shit ! its so unique

[stopglobalswarming]

Oh FFFFFfffffFFFFFf! This band is so awesome. Every time I hear them it just gets better.

[freshaca3]

Math Circus Metal

[Symphonicify]

1:30.....

[Annotation722]

interesting..... but i feel that i shall have to come back to this band later on and try getting into them since at the moment it just isn't doing it for me. I'll stick with Cryptopsy and Gorguts for now and i'm sure next time i listen to Unexpect i might just enjoy it more than i do right now!

[RiseClown]

i came. just that.

[Lilyum95]

OMG!This is awesome!I luv it!^^

[BierGier]

fukc this is incredibly insane genius awesome ultra doomcore mindfuck eargasm complex (square) nice :)

[Sidepiece2]

Now I know tool and meshuggah played shows togather but when did they fusion ha into this avant garde shit? :D

[ChaosMaster7]

I want more band like this, can anyone recomend me something?

[ANTIanitmetalclub]

@ChaosMaster7

Some avant-garde/avant-garde metal albums for ya:

Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye

maudlin of the Well - Bath

Time of Orchids - Sarcast While

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of Natural History

Mr. Bungle - California

[CyanideSovereign]

@ChaosMaster7 I'll rant off some weird stuff and let you decide if it counts as Avant-garde or experimental or music at all, because I just don't know anymore.

Fantomas - Dødheimsgard - Stolen Babies - Akpheazya - Diablo Swing Orchestra - Whoukr - Igorrr - Morglbl

Some of them I've only found in the last hour, rather like Unexpect...

[diceasd]

wow

[CannabizCropz]

unlike anything i have ever heard. true creativity is so hard to find nowadays. thanks for pushing the envelope unexpect. masterful music, i have to download this whole album after hearing this

[igotwoodhaha]

Utopia was the best release from this band.

[ronaldmcdonald333]

this is so fucking metal

[RiffInvader]

complicated as hell :D

[tbrogoit02]

Un-fucking-believable, such epicness

[aciddeathadder]

This is so fucking amazing! Their music moves according to my brainwaves or vice-versa!! XD XD

[UnholyMessiah555]

Fuck yes! Exactly the kind of insane, boundary-pushing music I'm looking for these days!

[qgloafhun]

True Malkavian music filled with emotions. I actually cried over how unbelievable this song is.

[LtotheULZ]

this is fucking interesting as shit.

[bogskeeter]

Ah...thank you interweb: I fall in love with Atrox only to find their singer isn't with them anymore; but then I find awesome bands like Unexpect and Akphaezya, and everything is all better :)

[halesma2]

And here I was thinking I was tired of metal. This is so fresh its still on the tree.

[Phaetor256]

@halesma2 This tree...would you consider it self-aggrandizing? Narcissistic? Megalomaniac, perhaps?

[halesma2]

@Phaetor256 This comment....would you consider it any of those? Haha I just made a stupid metaphor cause it sounded new to me, thats all.

[Phaetor256]

@halesma2

Forgive me, there's a song on In a Flesh Aquarium called Megalomaniac Trees.

Twas but a joke.

[piedrerox]

4:20 - epic 4:45- 5:00

[metalownsj00]

I'm normally not partial towards self-described "avant-garde" metal bands, but this is different. Even with the absurd tempo changes and range of instrumentation and style, there is still an underlying consistency of structure that makes this song actually flow, unlike the majority of bands in the same category as them.

[macacodorado]

fuck yeah!!! I love it :D

[LiamPJMurray]

Boring an pretentious. Why are people relating black metal to this..?

[KramLlessur]

@LiamPJMurray TRVE KVLT. RETREAT TO THE FOG FILLED FORESTS.

[silentboom77]

.... Whoa.

[newlowellkid]

my mind was just blown, omfg. it's so... INTERESTING

[MrCharleslol]

I'm going to go take acid and listen to this outside.

[gabbergandalf667]

@RitualVomit

There's definitely much good Black Metal out there, but there's also a lot of crap, musically and lyrically, and NSBM is part of the latter for sure. I personally don't want this extremist trash on my mp3 player, that's for sure.

[catfishwithrainbows]

I am definitely one of those impatient people.

[juanlarios666]

is it wrong if a guy listen to this brutal shit?

[gabbergandalf667]

@juanlarios666

Listen to whatever you fucking like, musical taste is always subjective and there is no "wrong" or "right" kind of music. (Well , except for NSBM. If you listen to NSBM, you're an asshole :))

[juanlarios666]

@gabbergandalf667 lol i had to read this twice because i was going to say i loved this band but i get you...and i was being a dumbass XD

[JambonLaBanane]

encore une fois, good job a unexpecT!

[Metalchik100]

Una verdadera obra de arte...

[vaxkors95]

1:30 is easy to absorb...

[guitar4life33]

It's such a unique combination in the best way possible. It gives me legitimate goosebumps. Music fueled by pure, open minded geniuses. It's good to hear groups that still have originality to them.

[metalmania330]

dude man this song is amazing special that badass bass so abstract masterpiece finally something new

[bestrader]

Dude, I didn't even know they released new music. I listened to this for about 20 seconds and turned it off, and am on my way to find the whole thing. Cheers.

[pawnshopr]

We've never been alone, as just one nest. In just one tree

[AlphonseCastleman]

@pawnshopr Thanks for putting in that snippet. I then had to search to see if that was in the song, or if it was you. After tracking it down I cam to his conclusion...this song may very well contain the BEST lyrics in metal. Likely the cream of the crop in music in general. All over the world people's eyes (and third eye) are opening to what the Universe has to offer. The world is on the brink of a change its quite possibly never ever experienced before. All for the better.

[slesperado]

This female singer sounds exactly like the female singer from Deadlock!

[subhumanmaster]

Unexpect>Iwrestletledabearonce­

[ADullerDay]

@subhumanmaster yeah I agree haha Unexpect is far superior.

[ADullerDay]

you guys are going to probably hate this, but the clean female vocals remind me of iwrestledabearonce...

[NecroSmokist]

@ADullerDay comparing two female vocalists with two completely different styles on the basis that they're female is fail.

[ADullerDay]

@NecroSmokist ok? How are they two different styles? Aren't they both subgenres metal? PLUS, I could just be thinking about the fact they use their voices creatively.

[Lunarsight]

Wow. They're carving new sonic environments with this.

[CyberWastedSLAYER]

Awesome!!! Love avant garde!

[MyOwnFunnyValentine]

FUCKIN AMAZING



[Ajlakula]

first listening: wtf is this, so weird...then...OMG ITS SO FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!

[Ajlakula]

@Ajlakula second listening im in love:D

[ANVILCLOUDNM]

This reminds me of the Rev in Pinkly Smooth, its so fucking awesome, I never thought I would find another band that sounded quite like that, it's amazing!

[TheScoutAndEricShow]

1:56 is just insane. The pianist and bassist are incredible.

[MyNinjaPersona]

My drummer have the old drumset of their drummer, with the unexpect logo on the bass drum, pretty cool for him haha.

[HenriTrakinasXD]

surprising song

[metaldoood]

@TheInbornMechanics True that.

[jotaele9]

It's so complex... just for open minded rockers.

[metmass]

First thought: This is so weird. Second thought: This is so fucking awesome. Kinda reminds me of Devin Townsend's Deconstruction. It's a different ride altogether but there's some similar elements. I'll gladly listen to the whole album, thanks very much for uploading this!

[Galenfen]

@metmass

I agree, they both have similarities. My first though when I listened to Deconstruction for the first time was "This sounds like Unexpect".

[metmass]

@Galenfen Well that just reinforces my will to hear the whole album : )

[Molle148]

@Galenfen I second that one :D

[SlowlyYouRot]

@metmass Deconstruction is one of my all time favorites. :) and i love this. My love for musicals and metal probably explains it.

[vaxkors95]

@metmass I love Deconstruction...

[MrArsenalinho]

mind destructive!! 

[MrArsenalinho]

GOD!!! mind blown!!

[SpartanLaserCanon]

Thumbs up if u think and know this is the #1 Song of the year =P

[marcos54695]

I dont like this, is like listening 3 bands at the same time. I can appreciate the skills and talent of the band, but this in not my cup of tea.

[Kingslayer76]

Wow. This is gonna take several listens to fully appreciate. just wow. I must buy this soon.

[goncaloshred]

7 people have no brain

[DevotionToChaos]

This just doesn't get weirder, nor more badass :-D I say rock on UneXpect!! Btw if you adore Avant-garde metal in such a stunning form, such as this one, visit my channel, and have a look at my Avant-garde Metal section!

[JambonLaBanane]

C'est vraiment nice de voir à quel point y'a d'la bonne musique qui se fait ici, pas juste des ptit chanteurs de matante qui chantent des fiferies XD ( une toune de unexpecT avec Normand L'Amour, ÇA sa sonnerait spécial....)

[Altairograph]

Is the part that starts around 1.33 the chorus? I think it is but you never know with a band like this.

The great thing about them is that they mix it up. They are not only doing weird stuff and not only doing catchy stuff and not only heavy stuff, they take it all and create an exciting mixture. It's not this or that, it's a bit of everything and that is in my oppinion one of the highest forms of compositional skill.

[SycamoreHill14]

Love the contrast between male and female vocals. Anyone know any bands with similar sound. Really awesome.

[Doodooma]

this is fucking cool

[DelornificatioN]

Is this what they call avant-garde? It's pretty cool.

[Rahuon]

Fantastici come sempre. Un inchino da Roma!

[KingCrimson776]

Ah, this vaguely resembles music. An improvement from the last album.

[vstrato]

When I saw them in show for the first time, I couldn't stop smiling during the whole show. They are so wonderful, the sound is as perfect in show as in their albums !!

[ipguitar]

I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!!!!

[V0M93]

Holy fucking shit

[bmhyakiri]

I can't even comprehend what is going on as this is my first listen.

[AcePentacle]

awesome!

[ModernZeuhl]

This album is PERFECT. C'est incroyable...

[danevati]

shiiiit! this is amazing!!! :D

[permatt13]

Caliss de Tabarnak d'asti de caliss ça me le prend TOUT SUITE

[Roccdrummer]

This is the first time I've ever felt sane... Just to think how the normal idiot music is what makes me insane, while this would make them insane within seconds, as dumbed downed moronic brainwashed as they are. Doubt they'd understand it. Probably would confound their senses... just as the repetitious idiot non-music they listen to does to me.

[sbgrant]

@Roccdrummer probably one of the most pretentious comments I've ever read.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@sbgrant Thumbs UP if u think Unexpect Makes up for the loss of SikTh

[iceseekers]

@sbgrant LOL that was fucking perfect. I thought the same thing.

[pawnshopr]

@Roccdrummer i think i get that actually lol, this piece is beautifull. Most popular music is just something to opiate the common.

[Roccdrummer]

I've heard it all... but somehow I've never heard anything quite like this. To be so original and skilled in a sea of clones is a major achievement. It makes me very happy indeed to hear such a glorious masterpiece of music that this album is.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@Roccdrummer Thumbs up if u think since SikTh broke up Unexpect has been and still is the most inspiring band in metal.

[ApplezKiwi]

@Roccdrummer So really what you're trying to say is "Im an arrogant douche and I think I know everything but I don't listen to enough music."

[Bobx007]

La meilleure track depuis In Velvet Coffin We Slept!

[kronosafflictions]

@Bobx007 j'approuve en criss!

[stormhail999]

did i just get a boner from how mutch better they got :)

[ramosd6721]

So damn cringeworthy. Facepalm worthy music.

[TheChronicCynic]

@ramosd6721 How? Open-minded and original music is cringe-worthy?

[Turkish1312]

Excellent song, Excellent Album. I agree with you, this is definitely my favorite song off of it.

[Whitebackground]

DaaaayyyyyUM!

[pepepicachu]

O R GA S M .!!!!!

Very Fucking Orgasmic!!!

[Omertahun]

To tell the truth, I didnt like this one as much as I expected. UnexpectED.

[SerbianTroll]

Sickness goes on.... xD

[ymad29]

L'attente a été longue... mais là aujourd'hui JE BANDE!!!! 

[Lansver]

Awesome. Just awesome. More tours in europe please ! :D

[johlu515]

indeed <3 awesome album, up the natural evolution ever expected!

[ktwx]

I preordered this and I'm trying to find a download or it just so I can listen to it! I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG. Thanks for the taste though.

[kronosafflictions]

@ktwx check out your youtube inbox ;)

[MaxRioux321]

@kronosafflictions I don't know what exactly you sent him, but something tells me I would want that also =D

[thrasher218]

@MaxRioux321 or you could, like, buy the album.

[kronosafflictions]

L'album est juste débile. Trop beau! Moi je trouve que la meilleure toune se jouent entre:

1. Unsolved Ideas of a Distorted Guest

4. Mechanical Phoenix

5. The Quantum Symphony

Le gueule de Leilindel est casiment plus nice que celle des 2 autres gars! Elle a une voix impossible! XD

[Galenfen]

@kronosafflictions

À ces 3 tounes je rajouterais unfed pendulum.

Bien d'accord pour Leilindel!

[gothdestiny]

ayoye...bin trop fou jai tellement hate de lavoir dans mes mains!!!

[Galenfen]

@gothdestiny

Après l'avoir écouté une bonne dizaine de fois, je pense que je l'aime encore mieux que In a Flesh Aquarium, et j'adore In a Flesh Aquarium :P
