Well, Akercocke are one of those bands in the extreme metal scene that reached their fourth full-length release without having any shameful moments in their course, up to date, in the darkness.
When the Salem Orchid withered, from its ashes arose Akercocke and shook the foundations of the extreme metal scene with the magnificent "Rape Of The Bastard Nazarene". "Goat Of Mendes" followed, a personal favorite and a hymn to the beauty of the night and whatever comes forth from it, and two years later the wonderful "Choronzon" came out.

With the enhanced version of this release fans are treated to a free DVD disc, the contents of which are an absurd interview conducted by a mock-Italian metal head who apparently was "the first on the scene."
As the DVD progresses, one realizes that Akercocke are a band with an immense sense of humor; a band who are comfortable with what they are.

A perfect mix of Death, Black and just a touch of Avant-garde metal. One of the few albums I cannot find anything negative to say about.

Personally I'd say this is more of an avant-garde rather than progressive style, namely regarding the clean vocal work. All the same this is a hell of an album.

Yeah, I saw this comment way back, and I still don't see what's avant-garde about this. Pretty typical of a progressive death album to me, almost no avant-garde elements or playing styles present, certainly not in the vocals which are just quite diverse (and not sure how vocals could ever make something avant-garde really). I suggest you look at Diskord for a good example of a death metal band with a strong avant-garde aesthetic. Or Gorguts' 'Obscura' album of course (of which the former takes a lot from). Also Baring Teeth.

I had no idea what I was saying, must have been really tired or drunk  It's clearly progressive now that I know the album quite well.
