Post the metal acts or individual albums that you consider the most unique from your collection (or just have heard).
For me, the following acts spring to mind: Hail Spirit Noir - psychedelic black metal. A term that is often misused, but these guys actually nail it. I have heard some call them 'Black Floyd' before now. Breed 77 - Alternative Metal with Flamenco elements. This lat metal band adds flamenco guitar passages to their sound. Aquilus - atmospheric black metal with extensive classical passages and dark folk elements. Might be more later, short of time right now.

Diablo Swing Orchestra definitely comes to mind! Swing jazz metal.

^ Yep they'd certainly qualify from what I've heard of them.
Another one from me - Panopticon. Not all the time but certainly on Kentucky. Alternates between atmospheric black metal and bluegrass.

Völur can also fit this thread I think. At least for their album Ancestors (2017). Doom metal meets dark/nordic folk with a touch of black metal - but no guitars. All driven by bass, violin and keys.

That's the last one I can list from my CD collection.
I'm sure avant-garde metal has a lot of very unique acts (since that is, you know, the point).

Van Canto comes to mind too. A capella power metal.

Yeah I guess they are, although I've always seem them as far more on the gimmicky side of things.

Can't find these guys online with a quick Google search, but immediately came to mind when I read the thread title.

Own? Probably Songs for Insects or early Powerman 5000 (Haven't heard anything quite like it, closest comparison is if Clutch made a nu metal album)
Heard? Either Diablo Swing Orchestra, Slab!, or Психея (nu metal band that utilizes elements of breakbeat and drum and bass)
