About Behold... the Arctopus
Hailing from New York City, Behold... The Arctopus are a 3-piece neo-avant prog metal band that pushes the absolute extremes of technical and rhythmic complexity. The band consists of Mike Lerner, Colin Marston and Charlie Zeleny.
Fusing free-jazz, ambient soundscapes, and experimental math metal, Behold... The Arctopus swerve from the logical to illogical with ease. The Warr Guitar, a 12-string instrument that is primarily played by tapping and covers the range of guitar and bass, is the predominant instrument. That in itself is a tremendous oddity, as you rarely ever see such an instrument used in extreme metal, much less in the leading role. There are no vocals, but the density and texturing of their material eliminates any need for words.
Behold... The Arctopus are currently signed to Metal Blade Records for their first album, entitled Skullgrid that was released on October 16th, 2007.
