IMHOTEP (Norway)
You know that feeling you got when you first discovered Opeth, Mastodon or Tool? That overwhelming freshness of the NEW in not just metal, but MUSIC as a whole? Do you know why these bands cause such a stir, such a devotion, such admiration, such cult following? I think it's because they absolutely do not care whether they are metal or not, as long as they create what they want to instead of what is expected of them.
