Nowadays, uneXpect (or Unexpect) are the darlings of avant-garde metal. Their latest album has met incredible reception, and their second work 'In A Flesh Aquarium' is considered a modern classic. As some of the most chaotic and innovative musicians I have ever heard, uneXpect have already set their legacy in stone, and may be considered to be one of the most talented acts going on today. Utopia' shows uneXpect playing in a less chaotic gear, although there is plenty of forward thinking. The music is a crossroads between black, death, and symphonic metal, with growls, Cradle of Filth-esque rasps, and female clean vocals all making themselves heard, sometimes in unison.

This whole mystical ball brought to this reality by the Unexpect clan.
The beginning and ending of Vespers Gold was inspired from
Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement: Presto Agitato.
« Salutations! et sachez que bienheureux sont les êtres touchés par la folie, car nous existons simultanément en des parallèles qui ne sont plus concernés par Raison et Logique, ces ennemies jurées d’Absurdité et de l’Imagination des rêveurs. En concevant l’inconcevable, les multiples voies de l’immortalité se dévoilent aux yeux de l’esprit chimérique… Gloire à l’esprit! »
Syriak
« De par la sphère Armillaire, la connaissance des éléments est dévoilées à celui qui déchiffre les runes ancestrales des artefacts »
Lunorin
« La conception du Sylphe Cosmos entraîna le voyage du vaisseau Anémosphère où brille l’arbre d’argent : Le fruit du monde immense des fées. »
Zircon
« Orbite Sectentrionnière ne pouvant dévier sous l’emprise du manque, l’équinoxe devint éternel. J’existe t’exister et réciproquement existant, j’existe ton existence… »
Elda
« Naissant d’un lieu qui n’a plus de temps, millénaire incandescent d’une Ère de chaleur éphémère gravitant sur la voie arcamique sans fin »
Artagoth
« Bien que cela n’intéresse personne, je suis Le Bateleur… »
« On peut pardonner à un homme d’avoir réalisé une chose utile dès l’instant qu’il ne l’admire pas. La seule excuse à la réalisation d’une chose inutile, c’est qu’on l’admire intensément. Tout art es parfaitement inutile. » * Oscar Wilde
