Unexpect (often stylized as uneXpect, or unexpecT,[1] and UnexpecT) was a Canadian avant-garde extreme metal band from Montréal, featuring a unique amalgamation of different metal subgenres like progressive metal, death metal, black metal and melodic heavy metal, and of other styles of music including European classical, medieval, opera, gypsy jazz, electro, ambient, noise, and circus music.[2]
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.[3] They released their two following albums via The End Records, before returning to independent releases.
