FABLES OF THE SLEEPLESS EMPIRE

Take avantgarde/experimental metal, throw is some touches of black metal, circus & cartoon music, violins, math-metal, and a whole lot of absolute, utter chaos and you have the latest offering from Unexpect. Complex, technical, crazy, intense.....that's pretty much what this album boils down to. If you don't like overly technical metal, this probably isn't for you, but if you do, be prepared to be amazed. They took the complexity of In a Flesh Aquarium and turned it up to 11. Also on display here is at least 4 or 5 different vocal styles. I also thought the production was pretty spot on, everything came through clear in the mix. Which is impressive considering how much is going on. Never a dull moment throughout the entire album, I highly recommend it.
