Not quite. The most metal Zeuhl band I've been able to hear is Universal totem Orchestra. Check out their albums Rituale Alieno and The Magus. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1246 - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1246 Oh and Happy Family might be a good bet too. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1241 - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1241 -------------

Jannick Top's Infernal Machina is nearly metal in places. Same with some Guapo |

Khemeïa is Magma inspired (band I suggested for PA a couple of years ago): http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53719 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53719 ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment. |

| Zeuhl-metal? That's what I instantly thought when I heard Koenjihyakkei the first time. And I mean, extreme metal, not soft sh*t. I suggest you check out the YouTube videos with them performing at the 2009 RIO Festival. |

Yeah, Koenjihyakkei is very metal-ish, I like then, but is not really my style... ------------- Pentagram Pizza YumYum Bloody

I have Angherr Shisspa and metal is a long way from my description of this Koenjihyakkei based on this album. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

When Christian Vander joins Dream Theater, they'll play zeuhl-metal. |

I was thinking about that ... heck, they wouldn't need any more LaBrie and some folks would be happy ... can you imagine that guitar and Christian Vander? ... yeah! Sorry Mike ... you can go play with the rock'n'rollers! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Norway's mekanik has a serious zeuhl influence in their blackened progressive metal sound. http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/M%C3%ABkan%C3%AFk/3540257326#" rel="nofollow - http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/M%C3%ABkan%C3%AFk/3540257326# Metallum article about them http://www.avantgarde-metal.com/content/reviews2.php?id=383" rel="nofollow - http://www.avantgarde-metal.com/content/reviews2.php?id=383 Avant-garde metal review www.myspace.com/dermekanik Myspace with songs I also know Combat Astronomy has claimed influence from Kohntarkosz era Magma in addition to Godflesh and Meshuggah. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruDGyl25lp4" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruDGyl25lp4

| Runaway Totem have Metal in the mix, probably more so than Zeuhl elements. Check out one of their albums, 2 side-long pieces, called 'Zed'. Even the cover artwork screams of 'Metal'. |

Let's face it, most unused genre combinations are unused for a reason. Avant-heaviness =/= metal, btw. I certainly don't recall metal in Guapo, but I haven't heard everything by them.

As others have mentioned I'd check out Koenjihyakkei - Viva Koenji!, Bondage Fruit & Combat Astronomy. Much as I love Guapo, and they are certainly dark enough, I don't hear much metal. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

Yeti is not really zheul but they kinda seem like it a little bit at times... and they are heavy as hell... and also weird as hell. ------------- http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://pseudosentai.bandcamp.com/ wtf |

So, avoid the first three then. Nah, I'll probably give them a go. What everyone should avoid is their latest... totally, inexplicably unlistenable. The worst kind of noisy, nondescript crud. "From Guapo to Feo". There's a rare good YT comment for you. Black Oni is one of my favorites of the decade though.

If you like the last two tracks of Black Oni, you might like the new one. I personally see that as masochism, so noise fans can dig in I suppose.

This sounds a bit zeuhl-ish, IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEEgleT0Wz4" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEEgleT0Wz4 |

Guapo's "5 Suns" comes to mind (though it has been mentioned before), or even "Black Oni". Their new one (and probably their best) is much less Zeuhl, however, and much more heading in a direction completely unique to them.

Not really what the OP asked for, but my question with all those Zeuhl bands is: How do they get their Kobaian right? AFAIK, Vander never released any Kobaian dictionary and grammar. ------------- ... brought to you by the Weeping Elf "What does Elvish rock music sound like?" - "Yes." |

They invent different dialects from different parts of Kobaia. Lots of planets have a north. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Infinite-Progability-Drive/141225469388975" rel="nofollow - The Infinite Progability Drive , feeding you daily progressive/weird music for just a like <3 |
