10 Heavy Metal Bands Genuinely Progressing The Genre

10. Schammasch

Double albums are pretty common these days, although with the whole idea of physical albums to put the music on, even the term is starting to seem just a bit outdated.

Not to be outdone in the realms of avant-garde extremity, Switzerland’s Schammasch grabbed the attention of the Metal community in 2016 with the aptly named triple album ‘Triangle’.

The album struck a suitably grandiose and apocalyptic tone with each disc embodying a dark side of the human experience. Violently Blackened Death Metal, transitional and progressive tones and instrumental journeys into a primal void at the centre of the human soul.

Whilst more focussed in their genre specific elements than some others on this list, the sheer wealth of ideas this enigmatic group embody ensure them a spot at the top of the, well… pyramid, I guess.
