Since I'm a huge metalhead from Norway, I tend to listen to a heap of music noone else has ever heard about.. so I present to you.. Shining. It's a Jazz fusion avant-garde technical metal band.

Kinja'd!!!

To that first song. No thank you. The second is a little better. Still not my thing by a mile.

Hmm. About the closest thing I can think of would be the Italian band Fleshgod Apocalypse, which combines Death/Black metal with elements of classical music. I really enjoy it.

You may also want to check out Cynic. Look up the song Veil Of Maya.

NICE! I did not know this was a thing. I definitely hear some heavy industrial influence in there as well (at least in the case of the first song)

No, seriously, I did not expect anyone to like this.... I just figured it'd be funny to share it with the fellow jalops... and BOY do you have something comming for ya if this was not to your liking :P

I give you "proper" Norwegian Black Metal

Yeah, there is quite the influence from bands like Rush and Meshugga in the first song. But this is BLACK JAZZ mate, the most devilish of all jazz ;) Hehe

I like the 2nd song on your original post though. Jazz is kind of my thing.

Will do. What kind of jazz is it? And since I know you like it, here are a couple of guys I heard on my last visit to Japan. Cinema Dub Monks...Kind of on the Acid Jazz side of things.

Well.. if you like japanese jazz that's out of the ordninary, I'm think you'll like Norwegian BLackjazz as well.. As for what kind... hmmm.. ehm... I've got no clue.. really.

As for the Acid jazz thingy, I've always had a thing for me mate Dj. Strangefuit..

How about acapella hero metal?

or classical-infused power metal (guitar by Van Canto solo 'guitar' vocalist)?

or sea shanty metal?

Hell - the whole Napalm Records catalog....

In my younger (aka, high school) days when I was still a super avid bassist (fell out of it a bit in college Because Racecar) I dabbled in it a bit. I really enjoy it for the musical techniques and odd time signatures that it uses (where else would you find three bars of 17/8 time in between a 3/4 and 7/8 bar?). I can't listen to it all the time, but on occasion it is fun to listen to. I just tend to think about it too much when its on to pay attention to what else I'm supposed to be doing.

I also had a friend in college who always listened to obscure Eastern European metal/dark-electro. Again, can listen to it, but only for so long.

PS. Really enjoyed both songs here. First one was really catchy.

Not bad at all :) the deep growling kinda reminds me of Michael Poulsen from Dominus (now in Volbeat)
