motW fans: We are FINALLY re-releasing "Bath" and "Leaving Your Body Map" on CD along with bonus tracks. As well, we are releasing "Part the Second" on CD for the first time. Pre-orders goes live on March 1st. Discs ship on April 13th!
We will also have 100 copies of "Bath" and "LYBM" on 2xLP!
I love how you call Sigh your favorite band ever and I love how you used a song from their best album "Imaginary sonicscape" It's my second favorite album ever.
I'm sure my opinion isn't going to lead to anything, but I believe that something with emotion IS art. What SycamoreHill has described as a 'farce of art' could somewhat apply to Nattramn, and his music is some of THE most emotionally filled music I have ever heard, and could most certainly be filed under 'art' for me.
@PcCAvioN What makes a band avant-garde is mostly ignoring musical conventions and standards in favor of experimentation and a broader range of emotional expression.
@SycamoreHill14 I'd call it art before I'd call anything Tech Death art. I mean, I listen to all metal, from Black to Death to Sludge to Thrash and avant-garde shows the most artistic and musical prowess I've heard yet.
@QuotingLovecraft Well, I never said Tech Death was art. Besides, judging by the bands provided here, it seems that all Avant-Garde Metal is random banging of instruments, and extremely weak riffs of the Jonas Brother level (or no real riff at all). It depends to much on the ambient sound to really compare with other genres such as Melodeath, Folk Metal and Thrash. I guess the word art is thrown around too loosely these days.
@SycamoreHill14 It's obvious you don't understand avant garde music, man, and music is art. All art is just original creativity. It's up to the persons on biases, yet sadly, people such as yourself (it appears) have a closed mind, hindering them to appreciate all forms of art, even if it seems to be random.
@QuotingLovecraft Like I said, the word "art" is thrown around too loosely. By that logic a person clapping their hands and screaming at the top of their lungs would be considered art. Which takes as much effort as most of the music samples provided here.
@SycamoreHill14 It's all based on what a person thinks. You've stated your opinion, as have I, and you can be a prick about it all you want, but I'm done with trying to humor an obvious troll. If you don't like it, go to another video.
@SycamoreHill14 Anyone who clicks on a video to call it shit metal's pretentious gay cousin sure sounds like a troll. Besides, I wasn't even trying to be a dick, all I was saying is you shouldn't call it crap because of a few bands.
@SycamoreHill14 I dobn't believe it's "random" or "simple" It's strange, progressive focus more on techincality same goes for Mathcore. But, avant-garde is strange with different atmosphere and it's also lyrically odd too,which I adore. Also, I like to point out that there's variety of styles within the genre,diversity is the key. Maudlin of The Well for example, the song "The Ferryman" was sang in latin,I mean,how could they sing in latin and able to comprhend the dead language?
i dont know if i would count some of these bands avant garde, I mean, if you listen to most classical and post-modern avant garde, its really, really out there. Just try listening to Threnody for Victims of Hiroshima, and youll see what I mean.
@quocdarock check Elements from Atheist like glitchedgamer said, also check Cynic, Textures, Exivious (Members from cynic and textures), Devin Townsend Project
@quocdarock Try Atheist's Elements album. I wouldn't call it "jazz metal," but it's some good experimental death with some jazz influences throughout.
The band of my dreams is a avant-garde metal band!!! close your mind to do always -the same is stupid.... experimenting is great . We have lots of music genres and instruments. Why don't play something different?
@chanchizetro Hah. Shame on you my friend, continue listening to catchy pre-puberty ass "artists" like Bieber and Cyrus. And while you're at it, go sit on a judas cradle and do us favor. Now fuck off.
@S0unDOfCha0S. Thanks alot for these introductions. I didn't know anything about avant-garde before, but know i'm addicted thanx again. It has enlarged my vision of music and therefore life itself. I think all people should do that. everybody tries to defend 'their' music, but i think try to listen to all the music there is. It really changes your view of music and life. (apologies for any incorrect grammar)
This is in no way meant as a 'bitchy' and typical youtube comment, but none of this can really be classed as avante-garde; just progressive.
They are all very rooted in a specific genre however much they may be using it in a progressive way and introducing new influences into it and they are all using conventional ensemble instruments.
Ya know, most of these bands I would be reluctant to classify under the avant-garde genre, most of them yes do have multiple influences which can make for an interesting sound, but avant-garde is more than just interesting influences, its throwing away the rules and just doing what you want, usually including strange and obscure instruments, not just the influence from jazz, but somehow throw jazz ingot it, get a sax and a trumpet doing a line in there, not just adding a jazz chord arpeggio
And as for Bath, they sound like authentic avant-garde, the point of avant-garde is that it is basically unidentifiable, its everything that is still music that is unclassifiable, avant-garde-metal is basicly that with a metal base
Is there any band similiar to Pinkly Smooth? Who doesnt scream all the time and who has these "comical" stuff. When I first heard Pinkly Smooth it kinda defined the kind of music I've always wanted to make myself, but they only have 1 album.... I need to find more
@Teoodorh I thought the exact same about pinkly smooth when i first heard them. Unfortunately, there kinda one of a kind man. But if i'd recommend listening to arcturus for sure (Especially the sham mirrors) Their stuff kinda reminds me of them.
Mirrorthrone... wow, how original. You know, the purple font used when describing the bands is almost as hard to read as it is to listen to some of these bands. Apart from that a nice video!
This isn't really avant-garde except in a very light sense. Check out Buckethead, Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta, System of a Down, and The Fall of Troy. Those are some better examples of Avant-garde seeing as they truly think outside of the box as far as musical limits go.
I'm enjoying this alot!! Although I'm more influenced by Finnish Folk/Melodeath. I must add that, the description of each band you have written in the video made it difficult for me to read (the coloring system you have chosen).
I suggest putting Pinkly Smooth in your next video, if you ever make another one. The band was formed by Avenged Sevenfold's The Rev and Synyster Gates. They sound a lot like Mr. Bungle and exactly like the genre they gave themselves "Goblin Metal". Unfortunately only one album was realeased, 2002's Unfortunate Snort, which contained only 6 songs. Plans on a new record were rumored but its unlikely to happen due to Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan's death on December 28th of last year :/
@MrFicction agreed, and pinkly smooth got me into this type of music.........i listened to them after a7x then heard that thez were inspired by mr bungle so i became a mr bungle fan and thats how i came into this music :)
this music has nothing to do with avant garde.......there is nothing innovative about using electric guitars and drums the same way we have been for the past 50 years!!
watched all four of this series. first of all, thanks for the effort. I agree that these bands and their music are not anywhere near "avant garde" and that the term "progressive metal" would suffice to explain their adventurous nature. That said, "labels" are just "labels". It's good to see my favourites OLD is here. But there's a glaring omission of Voivod's mid-period output and also Watchtower's early releases. I'm now hunting down for some of these bands you recommended. Cheers!

@SPARKEDinsanity tragico ballet is a goth band, you idiot!!! they are from mexico, i am from mexico,. they are not avant garde. you are really stupid did u know that :D ? goth rock compared to avant garde? LOL!!!!!!!!!
@TheMissit Lol i'm glad to know i'm not the only one who's heard of them at least XD And at the time i wrote the comment i wasn't sure exactly what avant-garde metal was as i had just heard of it that day. It's been a while tho and i figured it out haha XD
@SPARKEDinsanity nah its ok man, sorry i called u stupid but i really lol when i saw TRAGICO BALLET written by an american =| i got a lot of songs from them, they are cool guys, any time u want some add me just_missit@hot..
Yeah, alot of the stuff here is more experimental than avant-garde. The term avant-garde metal in itself is a contradiction. However, it's the closest term we've got to describe some bands, so I won't fight it. Just a point worth mentioning.
It seems to me as if Advant Garde is a very difficult genre to describe. But if your gonna go by Celtic Frost, Sigh and Borknagger as examples, it seems to me as if Advant Garde is when black metal or thrash metal fuses with alternative influences. I spose you could call it experimental black metal or experimental death metal?.
The most obvious musical form that gives this away as not being avant-garde is that fact that it is largely based around a straight, 4/4 rhythm along with the fact that all of the instruments sound relatively in tune with eachother.
Going to agree with Muloc7253 on this one. Avant-garde is the creation of completely original ideas to pave the way for art in order to keep it moving and progressing (avant-garde coming from the word 'vanguard' meaning the front or leading part of an army). All other music from the avant-garde disregards past musical forms and tries to create new ones. Although this is progressive, it is still based around traditional musical forms from folk, rock, metal, jazz etc.
Hardly any of these are avant garde at all. Avant Garde means to approach music with a COMPLETELY original direction, throwing out the rulebook altogether. Most of these bands are just progressive, or even just overly-melodic. Struggling hearing much avant garde in their sound.

I agree that these bands and their music are not anywhere near "avant garde" and that the term "progressive metal" would suffice to explain their adventurous nature. That said, "labels" are just "labels". It's good to see my favourites OLD is here. But there's a glaring omission of Voivod's mid-period output and also Watchtower's early releases. I'm now hunting down for some of these bands you recommended. Cheers!

When I clicked this, I was thinking "Alchemist... I hope there's Alchemist..." and then it was the first thing :D
You should have done something from Spiritech though (perhaps Road to Ubar, Figments, or Hermaphroditis?), it's way more avant-garde than Tripsis.

@LordRumpusaurus Yeah, a lot of their stuff is more avant-garde than Tripsis, but that's all I had at the time.
But to anybody who reads this, listen to the Alchemist song "Jar of Kingdom", it is SOOOO fucked up!

@S0unDOfCha0S The entire album is really weird. I feel like they really hit their stride on Spiritech though.

Yeah, alot of the stuff here is more experimental than avant-garde. The term avant-garde metal in itself is a contradiction. However, it's the closest term we've got to describe some bands, so I won't fight it. Just a point worth mentioning.

It seems to me as if Advant Garde is a very difficult genre to describe. But if your gonna go by Celtic Frost, Sigh and Borknagger as examples, it seems to me as if Advant Garde is when black metal or thrash metal fuses with alternative influences. I spose you could call it experimental black metal or experimental death metal?.

The most obvious musical form that gives this away as not being avant-garde is that fact that it is largely based around a straight, 4/4 rhythm along with the fact that all of the instruments sound relatively in tune with eachother.
MZ6192243 1 year ago
Going to agree with Muloc7253 on this one. Avant-garde is the creation of completely original ideas to pave the way for art in order to keep it moving and progressing (avant-garde coming from the word 'vanguard' meaning the front or leading part of an army). All other music from the avant-garde disregards past musical forms and tries to create new ones. Although this is progressive, it is still based around traditional musical forms from folk, rock, metal, jazz etc.

Hardly any of these are avant garde at all. Avant Garde means to approach music with a COMPLETELY original direction, throwing out the rulebook altogether. Most of these bands are just progressive, or even just overly-melodic. Struggling hearing much avant garde in their sound.

Yeah I agree none of these bands are really "avant-garde"

@Muloc7253 Ya I completely agree. The term Avant garde is becoming more and more over used. Mirrorthrone avant garde?...definitely not.
