It's Avant-Garde Metal. It uses metal as a base platform to launch from, incorporating a number of different styles. You don't hear much metal because there are so many other different styles and genres thrown in that it doesn't sound like any one thing in particular, and that's intentional.

It's weird, I don't like it, but I can't stop listening to it. Biggest mindfuck ever.
But, anyway, are you deaf?
EDIT: oh my god my ears are cumming buckets right now and it feels so good. And they're a Canadian band, too. I fucking love this, it's considered Thrash, but it almost sounds too old-school to be Thrash to me, omgofffgf my ears are still cumming.

Ever since I really got into UnExpect years ago, I always tried finding more avant-garde or anything jazzy, like Tessaract, that I really enjoyed (with low results). Definitely adding these to my library. I was really happy with Alamaailman Vasarat, exactly to my liking. Thank you.

Tesseract play mathcore, not avant-garde. But I can help with that too as I'm a big fan of the genre as well :P Easiest and non-spammiest way would be to just tell you to read this, it's a genre overview I wrote a few months back and I'm sure have probably posted here already, but eh. If you don't care for the genres origins, scroll down to the bottom and open the spoiler for a long list of various artists that have emerged in recent years. It's still a pretty recent development (maybe a decade old?) so has a long way to go before it starts gaining momentum.
Might also be worth looking into Jazzcore; Lye By Mistake is up there for their Jazz Fusion/Mathcore work, but there's also bands like Naked City who kinda started it all (ever heard of Sax shredding?), Deep Turtle and Midori. Sadly, this is one genre I've not turned up much for, doesn't seem to be a popular combination...

So I've fallen in love with Haken all over again. I've been following them since they were recording their first demo's, in contact with the bassist bothering him for details about when their debut would release, and when it came out last year I announced it as my album of 2010. Last month they unveiled their follow-up, and it's pretty damn close to the goodness of their debut. Heavy Prog like this hasn't been heard since Dream Theaters "Images and Words," the days of Rush, Porcupine Tree's peak, and it makes the Mars Volta look like amateurs.

Leprous' "Bilateral" is now a contender for my album of the year; "Extreme Progressive Metal" fits best as they've been compared to every prog name under the sun (Muse, Kalisia, Haken, Opeth, Cynic, DTP, Porcupine Tree, PoS, Mars Volta, Mr. Bungle, Protest the Hero, etc, etc). They're themselves and that's no bad thing when they're this awesome. Formed by Ihsahn (Emperor, Peccatum) to be his backing band for his solo project, they began writing stuff together in their spare time and ended up with this.
