Holy crap I'm excited to hear this. Norwegian avant metal AND Cardiacs elements?! 

Very nice stuff, I'll alert the PMT.

could the ZART team also look into this, as i see a heavy band like Shining is in rio/avant, then this band might also be qulified for the ZART team to look into them as they share as much relation to ZART as they do towards PMT,  just saying they fitts into more stables then metal stable, thye also fitt into avant sub, also quite possibly eclectic

Listening on gogoyoko, and this is a very good band.  It makes interesting, quirky, progressive, and quite complex genre blending music with a kind of metal I like.  The Shining is another I like -- not just for the jazziest stuff..  At times Dodsverk reminds me of a more alt. metal version of Hoyry-Kone.  It's a pretty eclectic and interesting blend of music.

I would think the experimental metal best for this avant metal band based on that listening, (they were thinking about having a category called avant metal at one time as I recall), but this is something that would appeal to many Avant category oriented people.  Great find.

Rather surprised this isn't in PA yet, in fact.  I know I've heard the name before.

By the way,  due to the number of suggestions that teams have to deal with commonly, I think it generally better to wait for one team's evaluation (assuming the evaluation doesn't stall for a long time) before bringing it to another team.  However, teams are free to evaluate what they want, and I have sometimes turned to different teams for their opinions.  You can always PM a team member, but mention if it's already under evaluation by another team, but I really think this one should go through the Prog Metal team first.  If they happen to think it better for Avant Prog, they will alert the other team anyway.

Cleared for Prog Metal agi, you should find them in the archives sometime pretty soon.

How long is a piece of string? According to progfreak, Prog Metal team have 9 cleared artists awaiting addition, 16 'new' suggestions still under evaluation, and 9 other evaluations being discussed further. They are fairly busy at the moment, it would seem, but Andy may be able to throw more light on this when he next checks in.
