FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIES 2008 HEADLINER REVEALED!

SwordLord · February 1st, 2008, 02:27 AM

I am proud to announce that the headliner for this year’s Flight of the Valkyries female metal festival is

UNEXPECT hails from Montreal, Canada and has developed quite a following despite almost a complete lack of formal distribution or promotion. Their sound is virtually impossible to describe as it borrows from many genres including black metal, death metal, progressive metal, melodic heavy metal, European Classical music, opera, medieval music, gypsy music, electro, ambient, noise, circus music, and jazz. Their live show is high energy and electrifying, adding a visual component that matches their astounding audio assault.

UNEXPECT has been a 3rd tier support act for various bands touring the US including Epica and most recently Norway’s Trail of Tears. This will be a very rare opportunity to experience a full headline set from this absolutely indescribable metal act.

UNEXPECT is fronted by the strikingly gorgeous and fiercely talented Leïlindel. Off-stage she is a gracious performer and a true class act. On-stage, she is a force to be reckoned with.

Unexpect...wow .... they all of that. This is my best attempt to describe them. Ozric Tentacles+ Dead Can Dance + Frank Zappa + Wagner + Gothic Metal, put in blender for 2 hours, pour into trays cook in the sun for a day cut into squares add LSD....Go By By.
