Avant Garde Metal?

[disembowel]

Can anyone recommend me some avant garde metal? Also, any bands that go into the extreme realms of metal?

Thanks for taking your time to reply.

 

[The Emptier]

Pensees Nocturnes
Negura Bunget
Oranssi Pazuzu
Septic Flesh
Portal
Deathspell Omega

Diablo Swing Orchestra
Unexpect

Some of these are probably not Avant-Garde in the truest sense, but;

the 3 album by Ihsahn (frontman from Emperor) has created some pretty sick avant-garde metal, the guitars, Ihsahn's unique vocal work, and the keyboards has made is stuff awesome!!

That isn't avant-garde. Most people don't know the meaning of that word.

Gorguts' Obscura album is a pretty weird and avant-garde version of technical death metal.

I feel this at least deserves a mention, never heard anything quite like these guys. Might not be completely avant-garde but hey...

The lack of Giant Squid here depresses me. The Ichthyologist is an AMAZING avant garde album.
