Peculate_(band)
Peculate is an American avant-garde metal and progressive metal band, formed in 2012. Peculate "combines metal, djent, jazz, contemporary classical, avant-garde, electronic, and experimental music together to create progressive music with punk sensibilities."[1] Much of Peculate's music is composed using the 12-tone technique.[2] Metal blog Invisible Oranges describes the hallmarks of the band's sound as the "utilization of twelve-tone technique, the Zappa jazz fusion tangents, and the Devin Townsend-esque attention to production details."[3]
Peculate is a project of composer and musician Ben Norton.[4] Norton releases all of Peculate's material for free on the band's Bandcamp website.
