Please recommend some music!

I'm Japanese, and there are very few people in my country who share my musical tastes, so I'm looking overseas and hoping to get recommendations from experienced fans there.

Since listening to Mr. Bungle,

I've been obsessed with bands like Nuclear Rabbit, Flagman, Dog Fashion Disco, Ideamen, Tub Ring, Carnival in Coal, Pin-Up Went Down, Psychostick, The BluChunks, and Sykotik Sinfoney, and recently I discovered Wigglepussy, Indiana.

Even when I ask AI for recommendations, it always suggests bands I've already listened to extensively.

What I'm looking for is music that combines the following

elements:

The chaotic fusion of genres like Mr. Bungle

The speed and strange, unique rhythms of Nuclear Rabbit and The BluChunks

The beautiful yet highly distinctive style of Ideamen

The madness and humor of Carnival in Coal

It might be a little abstract, but this is exactly the kind of atmosphere I'm looking for.

In other words,

I'm not looking for a one-way song; I'm seeking speed, genre chaos, strangeness, madness, anxiety, pleasure, beauty, a solid rhythm, and a rhythm that functions as music! I'm being quite greedy, lol.

But you don't have to dwell on this; feel free to share your opinion.

If you know of any bands or songs that fit this image, please let me know!

Also, sorry if there are any spelling mistakes.

Dog Shit Taco - Your Toothpaste Blindness Begets This Legendary Demon

Well, what is more avant garde than repurposing an isolated vocal track by Mariah Carey and having her sing on top of your doom/industrial/experimental metal track?

AUGMENTATION 2

Exosomatic organs 

The knife extends our teeth and nails. The bicycle or the car extends our legs. Clothing and houses replace fur and act as a second skin to regulate our temperature. A smartphone or a hard drive (or even a notebook) serves as external memory, extending our brain. 

Test from "PIERRE," music for electric guitar and keyboard, DIM. A recomposition of Bach's *St. Matthew Passion*.

Can a piece of music exist without a predetermined form?

For a long time, I kept asking myself whether musical form has to be designed before a piece begins, or whether it can emerge naturally through the act of listening.

While recording my album Shapeless, I deliberately avoided planning clear sections, themes or a traditional architecture. Instead, I followed the music continuously for 22 minutes, allowing the structure to reveal itself only through the unfolding of the improvisation.

It made me wonder:

Can listeners discover a form that the composer never consciously designed?

I’m genuinely curious how other composers think about this. Do you believe musical form is something we create before composing, or something that can arise during the listening experience itself?

If anyone is interested in hearing the experiment, I’ll leave it here:
