They're dressed as WW2-era Soviets, actually.

Wintersun are shit.
One of the most disapointing and bland bands I've ever heard.

Absolutely not
They have great melodies, great riffs
Great Vocals and all the instruments are really fitting well together.
I really can't see any reason why you wouldn't like them... other than you being a necropedophile...

Instead of bashing on the bands I like randomly you could tell why you don't like them.

I don't see why I should know absolutely every bands ever mentionned in this crew.
You probably don't know The Agonist and God Falls, and I just don't see what's the point your trying to bring to the table...
your probably just like a lot of metalheads... your music's just so underground and awesome... that everyone else's music sucks...
and yes, maybe I shouldn't be posting in this crew... I get really dissapointed each and every time I read posts like this...

I dressed up as King Diamond yesterday for my friend's band's show, Everybody was supposed to be in costume, but hardly anybody was. oh well. At least I went with a group, so I didn't feel totally out of place. I guess I'll post pics later.

Ulver is one of my favorite bands. And Svein from Zweizz is in a really good avant-garde metal band called Fleurety. You should check it out.

Ulver did black metal in their early days. They don't do metal any more, and I think their non-metal stuff is actually better. My favorites are Perdition City, a Quick Fix of Melancholy, and Blood Inside. Their bm stuff is really good, though.

I don't know about Zweizz, though.

Gendo is allowed though.

once a member, always a member, unless Marko, me, Bill, Imperium, or the other Alex say otherwise.

Speaking of which, where the hell are they?

Also, i demand we allow ZAAL to join, because he listens to Industrial <3

What, I thought he already was joined?

I thought so, too.

I say ZAAL is fine here. Being here, he can get into more metal bands and learn more about it.

I really need to check out Maudlin. I'm just worried in case they don't live up to Kayo's standards. I really enjoy KD.
Though you've never led me astray in terms of Avant-Garde :).

Virus (they have a new album coming out soon, too!)

Snaazzy!

I don't know about that, but they are one of the best bands ever.

They were the last band that got a huge bumming for a period of time. I remember them being mentioned nearly every other post when there was a big surge in Avant-Garde interest. Thats why I said, what I said last night was a bit belated.
Maybe its just because I was part of the whole AG thing and they've stuck in my mind because of that.

I like this better. You know there's a big difference between saying "I do not like them" and saying "they suck monkey balls"

When I say something I expect people to acknowledge it as my opinion.
But as Steve Wilson says in Dream Theater's 'Repentance' '...it's just an opinion, but unfortunately, I tend to express it as a fact, and that's kind of arrogant.'

That's good to know.

Speaking of which, it looks like I'm running out of avant-garde to discover. I think I've heard most of the bands there are to hear. I are saddest. :(

Although I do still have plenty of albums to get that fall under that label, so that's cool. I hope I can actually get them all.

Now all thats left is to make your own band.

Learn violin or harp or something :P. That's Avant-Garde ;).
I want a band so bad. Either Prog, AG or Doom... or Death, anything Metal :(.

I lack the ability to record at the moment. Had a chat with mummy last night though and I asked her to buy me a SM57 for Christmas (thats a mic :)). And with the next surge of student loan in January I'm buying a keyboard + audio interface.

But I want a band more for a live thing as opposed to composition. Though collaborations are interesting things.

Mercyful Fates first two albums are the only thing worth getting with Diamond.

King Diamond's solo stuff is pretty bad.

I'm contributing so much to this thread it's just amazing.

I listened to Solefald's first album and didn't like it. That's where it ends for me.

Keyboard/Piano. you hear a lot of that in AG and quite a few other styles of Metal. :)

When I think of epic, I think of a track lasting over 10 minutes, unless it's Bohemian Rhapsody. 2 - 6 minutes for an ordinary song is fine for me.

I didn´t really get into King Diamond, but Mercyful fate is a really awesome band, they have some of the best riffs ever.
