All Genres > Metal > Black Metal > UNEXPECT...: Utopia

unexpecT... an original band rooted in the creative soils of Quebec, Canada. This metal laboratory uses many musical ingredients which correspond to the human shifting mood.

In the boiling cauldron are mixed branches of black, death, power and melodic metal ; classical, operatic, medieval, ambient and circus music with a progressive edge and an occasional jazzy touch. With a crew composed of 7 different beings, the atmosphere sometimes takes a form of symphonic proportions by its sound diversity and arrangements. Their vocal performance range from an extreme to the other as they alternate between glorious choirs; inhuman screams of deep, high, mid-growl and delirious intensity; theatrical narrations; and clean/sober sections strewn with bewitching feminine singing pleasures.

Daydreamers and lunar people, the ideas traveling in their art are related to the imagination and the inherent creative power of all human beings, subjective faraway fantasy tales, trancelike sensorial exploration and subconscious realities. Soul-travel being one of the prime reason of music's existence ; they give attention to the individuality and personality of each song, to better sail these multiple emotional states of ours ( melancholic, enraged, mysterious, festive, psychotic, perplexed, exultant, etc ).
Different destinations breathing on the same vessel. A torrent of diverse feelings, unexpecT is a band fitting as much for an energetic-frenzied-slam-in-a-sweaty-infernal-pit-oozing-impure-pagan-blood session than for a lazily-hypnose-an-elf-sitting-on-a-water-cloud-smelling-astral-fruits moment.


Since their origin, unexpecT... released a full length album called " Utopia " which saw the day in 1999, critically acclaimed by many countries around the world ( from Russia to Brazil by the way of the Philippines )with no distribution whatsoever and with internet as only support. These utopians have up to now offered to the public an approximate number of 30 shows, improving by time their visual representation and musical performance. Strengthened by their demonstrations in front of approximately 1500 people; opening for Satyricon and later on, Cryptopsy ; a new era began for these sound-painters with the release of a new surreal opus called
'' We, Invaders '' in November 2003. This EP is the glorious introduction to the following album currently in progress that will smash the dull boundaries of vile standards.
