Crazy technical progressive grind metal........2007-03-11

If Frank Zappa and King Crimson birthed a schizophrenic, demonoid love child it would resemble this band. Its dark and chaotic, but unique and grotesquely beautiful. An oxymoron, yes. Does it describe the music aptly, possibly. This cd is noisy but exact. Its a compilation of their two previous cds, which only consisted of 3 or 4 songs each, plus a live set. Yes they can reproduce these songs live, they are not just studio productions. Quite an accomplishment for the old school power trio. It helps having an astonishing bass player, who technically plays a Warr Guitar. For those that don't know, a Warr giutar is a seven to fifteen stringed guitar/bass like instrument with the range of both a guitar and bass that is usually played by touch or tapping the frettboard using both hands but can be played other traditional ways as well. Thus giving this band a unique sound. The drummer is insane and flows through each tempo change naturally and the guitar player (standard guitar) plays counter-point to the warr guitar franticly, like a Larry Lalonde (Primus) on meth. I can't wait for a full length cd of original material from these guys. Until then buy and enjoy this cd. Keep an open mind. This is hardly for the average music fan.

Avant-Garde Music at it's Best.......2007-03-09

Progressive mind blowing insanity. A must have for fans of Dysrhythmia, Colon Marston never fails to amaze.

Relentless Intensity.......2006-09-29

I haven't been this blown away by a new release in years! Both the chops and compsition on this disc are way over the top. Although they are often described as progressive metal, I agree with reviewers who point out that the don't play any of the "routine" metal stuff you hear on alot of other CDs in this category. The closest musical comparison I can make is with King Crimson. Infact I find there music satisfying in some of the same ways. However, they maintain a level of relentless intensity that I've never heard on a Crimson record. Think what it might sound like If Buckethead recorded an album with The Ruins and you might get the picture!

What The !!?%$#@^!!?.......2006-09-22

(Instrumental Proficiency 6 stars)

Holy.....!? Well, I don't really know how to start this one. This band and album would probably not appeal to about 98% of the music-buying public out there, but it is simply incredible. If the band's name and album title weren't enough to give you the impression that these guys simply aren't interested in commercial success or pop appeal, wait until you get a load of the music. Whew! I am exhausted just thinking about it. Behold the Arctopus play an unbelievably intense brand of experimental/progressive/metal/post-rock/ambient/funk/techno/trance/fusion/whatever that will instantly appeal to any musician by sheer force of it's ballsy, I-can-play-better-than-anyone-youv'e-ever-seen brashness. Insanely convoluted, technical, original, and just plain weird, this album is worth checking out, especially for anyone who likes displays of virtuoso musicianship. Plus, the new Metal Blade reissue version contains live versions as well, proving that they can pull this stuff off live. Progressive jazz-metal on Ritalin. Since these guys are now apparently signed to a relatively big label which releases a lot of super heavy music, it should be interesting to see what they do next. These guys can play.

Schizophrenic Jazz Metal of the Not So Distant Future.......2006-08-24

This is my first experience with the Arctopus, and I'm sure it won't be my last. Behold...THE ARCTOPUS have a great combination of technical metal/jazz metal going on; Sometimes it will rend and flay your head and upper torso into a steaming pile of fleshy tissue, and at others it will sound like very laid back, melodic type of Jazz/Jazz metal. They Kinda remind me of "Cynic", That is If Cynic lost the keyboards and robo voices, and shot themselves up with steroids and Caffine.

This touch guitar stuff is crazy, its got me very interested in finding out more about the instrument, as I have never heard of them before. And another amazing thing about this band is that it is a three piece. I could swear that they have 2 guitarists and a bass going sometimes. The only thing I have against them is that the guitarist is prone to go into wild shred-fests every now and then, which can get on my nerves sometimes.

But everything else about this EP is top-notch stuff. It might not be very long, but when you listen to it, every second feels like three because of the insane complexity of it all. But also not to be overshadowed are the beautiful mellow passages like in Sensory Amusia...Man its so relaxing and peacefull, you could listen to that in a cafe...although 60 seconds down the line you might listen to it at a destruction durby, or at a construction site.

Now, the obvious reason that we are being given a re-issue of This Ep from last year is because Metal Blade (the record company that recently signed the arctopus) wasn't recieving any profit off of any of the arctopus's pre Metalblade releases. But that being said, this is a fair price for an EP reissue, with more material on it then the original, and at a lower price. So If you already own the original you needn't worry about picking this up. But if you haven't got the original then you've got a pretty good deal here.

If you like this EP, keep Your eyes on these guys. I am sure that a full length release by the arctopus is just around the corner.

A soothing escape to a tropical paradise.......2005-03-12

The title says it all. It is an experience of music from another culture which in my mind is associated with a tropical paradise which I imagine existed prior to Dutch colonialism of now present day Indonesia. The gamelan orchestra consists of various sizes of suspended metallophones (percussion instruments with tuned metal bars), small bulbed gongs, large suspended gongs, and drums. With the soft gentle percussive nature of the music, the experience that I get from it is an expression of the slower tranquilizing rhythms of nature. This album is well worth the $9.98 for anyone looking to explore other realms of music.

Album Description

This instrumental trio of guitar, drums, and touch guitar combine the furious virtuosity of tech metal, the improvised soloing of jazz, and certain writing techniques of contemporary classical music to give their insanity a compositional cohesion rarely heard in rock music. Despite their technical nature, their sound is accessible to musicians and non-musicians alike. Limited to 800 copies.

Not so tech-prog-metal, not so interesting.......2006-09-16

"Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning" - I can definitely hear the Voivod influence, aside from that there are a lot of generic parts all thrown together one after another. There are some good riffs but they aren't arranged well with the others to stand out or flow well within the list like format that they are arranged in within these songs. Warr guitar or not this just doesn't do it for me and there is nothing about this that makes me want to recommend it or even listen to it again.

If you have not heard them already, try the following albums-

Voivod - Killing Technology, Dimension Hatross
Death - Human, The Sound of Perseverance
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence, Piece Of Time or Elements
Necrophagist - Onset Of Putrefication, Epitaph
Gorguts - From Wisdom To Hate
Demilich - Nespithe

The arctopus has also recently signed to Metal Blade records,(Home of Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia murder, etc)
So If you enjoyed this Ep like I did, Im sure that even better material will be coming from the Arctopus in the very near future. Keep Your eyes on these guys.

short but sweet - tech metal masterpiece.......2006-04-10

After proving themselves adept at blending the odd, triumphant melodies and flowing instrumental blasts of King Crimson with the breakneck speed and dissonance of The Dillinger Escape Plan on their debut EP Arctopocalypse Now..Warmageddon Later Behold... The Arctopus (I'll opt out of commenting on their album, band, and song names.) are once again back, although sadly not in full-length album form yet. Despite Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning not being a full album, it does show that the band are progressing (yay) and in the right direction too (yay!!!).

Featuring Mike Lerner on guitar, Colin Marston of Dysrhythmia on Warr Guitar (like a guitar put on top of a bass, 12 strings, meant to be played touch-style) and the formidable Charlie Zeleny on drums, Behold... The Arctopus create music that is insanely technical, but also very energetic, strangely melodic, and accesible. Mixed in with the rhythmic complexity are some strange melodies and the overwhelming energy that they put into this music. The songs here test your ability to headbang and decipher continuosly-changing, lightning fast riffs at the same time for seven and a half minutes straight.

And you're not the only one being tested here - it must take some extreme athleticism of both the fingers and the brain to write and perform this music. Colin's fingers fly over his guitar at breakneck speeds as he provides the base of the song. Mike Lerner then does everything from harmonizing with Colin's "riffs", although a riff implies repetition, which does not appear on this EP, to blasts of meticulously tight shredding. Charlie Zeleny is quite simply formidable, staying synchronized with the other two thirds of the band through the fastest of speeds and most complex of rhythms. While it is quite easy to get lost in the depths of this bands complexity, they still manage to remain solid. Its quite obvoius these guys are amazing musicians.

One thing I cannot overstate enough is that these guys are not musical wankers. Their songs include drawn out buildups, musical chops, and more than fleeting forrays into the realms of noise style blasts of distortion, but it suits them perfectly. Their songs are not the seemingly random Changes of The Dillinger Escape Plan, but rather well thought out compositions that flow from one idea to the next very logically. "Estrogen/Pathogen Exchange Program" is a prime example of this with its crescendo from silence into a spastic blast of technical metal and then finally climaxing with a jaw-dropping drum solo.

I strongly recommend Behold... The Arctopus to prog, math, tech, instrumental or whatever you want to call it metal fans. Their EP flows perfectly over its 17 minutes and will simply compel you to listen to it over and over. Tech-metal mastpiece indeed.

Behold...insanity.......2006-04-03

This truly is a gem. Off all the places, I found this EP sitting right there in the open on a shelf at my local Border's. Very strange. Having heard some good things about the band, I picked up the album, went home, popped it in, and was blown away. What we have here is a mindblowingly skillful tech-thrash band with a guitarist/bassist combo that any band would die for. They manage to go from crazy thrash to laid-back acid rock, to almost progressive emotional guitar solos, to Fantomas-esque crashing riffs that just smack right into you. The latter are probably the worst kind of riffs on this album. Unfortunately the second song has quite a lot of this. Anyway.

The opener starts with a band, tells you to wake and Behold...THE ARCTOPUS! (I had to). Anyway, it begins with mind-numbing speed and technicality. At 2:21 it goes into a great acid-rock bass section. Otherwise it blasts along at 1000 BPM with some great melodies but most of all amazing chops. Think Necrophagist without vocals and with more interesting guitar parts. At around 5:24 it heads into a great keyboard-driven portion with some excellent emotional guitar and solid drumming. It's very atmospheric. The song ends like that and simply fades into the next song.

The next song starts slow with some foreboding sounds and whatnot before launching into more craziness about halfway through. Not a strong offering compared to the first song. It pretty much seems like the guys from BTA blew their load on the first song with no steam left for the rest. Fortunataely the third song proves this wrong. It blasts out, goes crazy, does cool stuff, more great guitar work, then busts out into an awesome acid rock section with soem nice jazzy guitar. Then it kinda starts blowing up. This next section makes it feel like the album is blowing up. It's a bunch of heavy, foreboding Fantomas-esque eerie riffs with all sorts of discord for a little while. Then they fall back near the end and go crazy and it's over.

So basically, this is a brilliant display of technical ability with the occassional ear for excellent and powerful songwriting, but it seems like occassionally BTA got lazy and kinda decided to play around with some discord and sound effects. It varies things up a bit, but more keyboard driven stuff like the end of the first song would be cool. Oh, and the drummer isn't quite up to par with the rest of the band, but his stuff works. Of course, kudos to him for keeping up with the other two in the first place.

BEHOLD.... THE ARCTOPUS (Seriously BEHOLD this!).......2006-02-18

BEHOLD THE ARCTOPUS - Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning.
-
This is 3 piece instru-metal Act, which takes influences from such Tech-Metal greats as Death, Atheist, Cynic, and Voivod. And even some influence from the Larks Tongue or the Discipline-era King Crimson days. They employ the use of a Warr Guitar which to my knowledge has like 10+ Strings and is about as big as a Ford Focus. (Essentially it is a bass and a guitar and so much more all in one.) Then they use another regular guitar and, of course, the drummer. Sound wise it is incredible and only further gives the band a sense of originality. This EP alone puts them up with the musicianship of modern greats such as Dillinger Escape Plan or the, also instrumental, Canvas Solaris.

As amazing as this album I do cite 2 minor flaws:
1.) The production does not give this band the justice they deserve (probably due to budget constraints... which leads to point #2)
2.) They only made like 800 copies... Which is a sin, a band this talented deserves more way recognition.

The potential these guys is through the roof - Honestly any fans of insanely technical yet smooth flowing music should keep their eyes and ears out for this fine young band.
