The music of Canadian UNEXPECT is a great challenge, both for the musicians, as and for listeners because it is the art on very high-level, it is hundred-percent artistry designed only for true connoisseurs and men with open minds. The music from “In a flesh aquarium ” is Metal of high-quality in regard artistic, it is the mad progressive-classic virtuosity, the opera and avalanche of metal patents in the one album, in the highest concentration.

Avant-garde Extreme Progressive Metal – it is definition this gunfire of speech sounds, this fusion of many species of metal with different species of music. Here we have the very dynamic mixture of Black, Death, Progressive, Gothic Metal, Core, Noise, Jazz, classic music, mediaeval music, symphonic music, circus music, theatrical music, Gipsy music, Folk, opera, Electro, Ambient and Darkwave. And the whole is in the very psychotic-psychedelic binding with considerable dose of specific melodies, which in total creates the very mad climate .

The every tune is built by the huge quantity of musical subjects and surprising phrases which alternate themselves. The compositions have the very rich ornamentation in aspect the many motives of instrumental-vocal. Here we will encounter on the every gender of vocal activity (from the perfect male-female vocals, the grotesque or full the seriousness of recitation to the music and the choral singings to black metal screams, the growlings as well as the inhuman shouts and the whispers).

UNEXPECT is like demented musical collage, which some elements pushed me associations with ARCTURUS, ELEND as well as the soundtrack of “Corpse Bride” of Tim Burton. After listening of the whole it's time to the question – Does an art and a madness is the one?
