Unexpect (often capitalized uneXpect, unexpecT,〔(Unexpect biography on official site )〕 or UnexpecT) was an avant-garde extreme metal band from Montréal, Canada featuring a unique amalgamation of different metal subgenres like progressive, technical death, black and melodic heavy metal, and of other styles of music including classical, dark cabaret, opera, jazz, funk, electro, ambient, noise, and circus music. The band's debut album, ''Utopia'', was independently released. The band only had word of mouth and the Internet to market the work. With unorthodox distribution and online support, the album sold successfully.〔(Official The End biography )〕 They released their two following albums via The End Records, before returning to independent releases. ==History== From their beginning in 1996, unexpecT saw their share of line-up changes, as only two members from this period are still in the band: Artagoth and SyriaK. Unexpect then recorded their first full-length album titled ''Utopia'' in 1998, which was later released in 1999. This first offering was critically acclaimed by many countries around the world, even with little distribution, and with the internet as their only support. A new era began for unexpecT with the release of their new EP titled ''_We, Invaders'' in November 2003. This EP was released on the Canadian label Galy Records. They then signed with New York-based The End Records and the band's second album ''In a Flesh Aquarium'' was released on August 22, 2006 in North America. ChaotH introduced his trademark 9-stringed bass during a Galy Records show on June 4, 2005. Unexpect released their 3rd full-length album, Fables of the Sleepless Empire, on May 31, 2011. Pre-order copies were signed by the band. Brick-and-mortar sales of the album are not planned, and at the moment it appears that it will only be sold online.〔(Unexpect Mailing List, May 5, 2011 )〕 Winners of the 7th annual Independent Music Awards Vox Pop vote for best Hard Rock/Metal Album "In a Flesh Aquarium". On August 22, 2015, after the band had been inactive for almost three years, and with few updates, an announcement was made on their official Facebook page stating the members had decided to disband for good and pursue their own personal musical endeavours.〔(Unexpect disband ) Retrieved 2015-09-11〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unexpect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
