Montreal's rambunctious and truly unique act Unexpect have successfully found a new violinist to join the band.

In an update posted on their website, they say: "Hello friends, un-friends, mammals and human beings in general?This announcement is based on a structural assemblage of words, necessary tool when you dwell into the theme known as: communication. Today we welcome warmly a new member into the ranks!

Let's give a round of applauses and trace some well deserved parallelograms in the air for our new official violin player, a brilliant music manipulator named Blaise. His talent will undoubtedly contribute to the developing mutation of our music.

Here are the links to his personal MySpace page & another of his musical projects:

Montreal's act Unexpect has posted the following update:

"After ten years of enjoyable companionship, we now officially announce that our violinist, le bateleur, will be leaving Unexpect for good. We'll always keep strong ties with him but it seems that extensive touring don't fit well with his future life plans. We wish him the best and hope he'll get the most out of life !

Thanks Charles?"

Unexpect is so looking for a replacement. Candidates should :

* absolutely be devoid of any criminal records
* have some stage experience
* be ready to tour extensively
* be musically open minded ( obviously )
* have a nice and well groomed moustache
* forget about that last statement

For those interested, just contact our manager, FIX, at this phone number or email?he'll fill you in on the procedures?:
Phone:514-758-3542 | E-mail:fix@unexpect.com

The End Records is proud to announce the latest edition to the label:
UNEXPECT? an original band rooted in the creative soils of Quebec. This metal laboratory uses many musical ingredients which correspond to the human shifting mood. Mixing elements of black, death, core and melodic metal ; classical, operatic, medieval, electro, ambient, psychotic, noise and circus music with a progressive edge and an occasional jazzy touch. With a crew composed of 7 different beings, the atmosphere sometimes takes a form of symphonic proportions by its sound diversity and arrangements. Their vocal performance range from an extreme to the other as they alternate between glorious choirs; inhuman screams of deep, high, mid-growl and delirious intensity; theatrical narrations; and clean/sober sections strewn with bewitching feminine singing pleasures.
The ideas traveling in their art are related to the imagination and the inherent creative power of all human beings, subjective faraway fantasy tales, trancelike sensorial exploration, undercover denunciation of social aspects and subconscious realities. Soul-travel being one of the prime reason of music's existence; they give attention to the individuality and personality of each song, to better sail these multiple emotional states of ours. Different destinations breathing on the same vessel. A torrent of diverse feelings, UNEXPECT is a band that can't be classified with a generic label, but more of a musical feeling that will take you on a journey to new places.
