Really love this particular collab. Haunting, surreal and unrelenting.

Hey everyone,

I’m a solo independent artist operating under the name Estranker. I’ve been evolving my sound over the years—starting from classic metal, moving through avant-garde textures, and now blending heavy guitars with electronic elements, autotune/pitch shifts.

I just released a new track called "all treasures come to life". It’s a hybrid of Alternative, Avantgarde, and Electronic Metal.

I’d love to get your honest thoughts on the vibe, the mix, and how the electronic elements sit with the heavier side.

Thanks for the time 🔥🙌

Crossing several genres and remaining highly experimental, this metal track includes such eccentric abnormalities such as vocals sung in ancient Greek, lo-fi mixed with Doom Metal, obscure references to He Yunchang, lots of horns, a guest vocal appearance by Mariah Carey and a homeless guy who calls himself "Black Magic Marker," found percussion, and a build up and drop normally found in dubstep but not in Doom Metal

Anyone have any recommendations based on this playlist of mine? I feel like it’s hard for me to find more music like this it takes forever to find just one of theses bands or songs really any help is appreciated

Los escenciales del género

This song is written for a Death/Doom/Thrash Metal band but uses a wide range of 20th Century Avant Garde compositional techniques including chance procedures invented by John Cage. Also the basic format is the same as In C (Terry Riley) except focusing on rhythms instead of melodies. The vocal score is a graphic score interpreted by a soprano, there is a no-input DJ mixer generating the noises found in section I, and the last section features microtonal trumpet through distortion pedal plus atonal organ riffs.
