They feature a unique amalgamation of different metal subgenres like progressive, death, black and melodic metal, and of other styles of music including classical, dark cabaret, opera, jazz, funk, electro, ambient, noise, and circus music.
With a crew composed of 7 different beings, the atmosphere sometimes takes the form of symphonic proportion by its sound diversity and arrangements. Their vocal performance range from one 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.

Metamorphosis
Unexpect Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

To raise from the earth
Dark forces of old
Undeads feel the appeal

In a morbid dance
They research the entity
Which gives them the primary state

In this chaotic quest
They search a relic
In a world where times are upset

Vestiges of future
Rise in a past Era
Of despair and sorrow

Damned creatures wandering
To their will

Overall Meaning

The song Metamorphosis by Unexpect is an intense and dark piece that explores the idea of raising dark forces of old from the earth. The lyrics seem to suggest that the undead feel the appeal of these forces and are drawn to them in a kind of morbid dance. As they research the entity that gives them power, they become more chaotic in their quest, desperate to find a relic that will help them achieve their goals. In this world where times are upset, the vestiges of the future rise in a past era of despair and sorrow.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of impending doom and a feeling that the undead are more powerful than we might think. The hints of a distorted reality and the twisted lyrics give a sense of discomfort and unease. The words "damned creatures wandering" suggest that these dark forces are not to be taken lightly, and that they are capable of great harm to those who oppose them. Overall, this song is a haunting look into the world of the undead and the dark forces that they worship.

Line by Line Meaning

To raise from the earth
To summon from beneath the ground

Dark forces of old
Ancient powers of evil

Undeads feel the appeal
Zombies are drawn to these powers

In a morbid dance
In a twisted, macabre ritual

They research the entity
They seek knowledge of this power

Which gives them the primary state
Which grants them the ultimate control

In this chaotic quest
Amidst this frenzied search

They search a relic
They seek an ancient artifact

In a world where times are upset
In a world of upheaval and chaos

Vestiges of future
Remnants of what is yet to come

Rise in a past Era
Manifest in a time long gone
