Behold… The Arctopus is an experimental metal band from Brooklyn, New York, United States.
Biography
Behold… The Arctopus was formed by Colin Marston and Mike Lerner, who had been playing guitar together for over a year-and-a-half by the time they found a drummer. Their demo We Need a Drummer (on which a drum machine was used) was picked up by drummer Charlie Zeleny. Zeleny met Lerner and Marston and impressed the duo. He was immediately asked to join the band.
After releasing two EPs and a split, Behold… The Arctopus released their first full-length, entitled Skullgrid, on October 16, 2007. The band went on tour with Genghis Tron and The Dillinger Escape Plan to support the album, but it was cut short by an injury of one of the members of The Dillinger Escape Plan. To help them recoup financial losses from that tour, Between the Buried and Me have taken the band on their current headlining tour, supported by August Burns Red.
On December 30, 2008 drummer Charlie Zeleny posted a statement on his MySpace page stating that after five years with Behold… The Arctopus, he would be leaving the group to focus on his career as a session musician.
Style
Behold… The Arctopus play instrumental music inspired by both metal and 20th century classical music. This technical and progressive style is executed on a regular electric guitar and drum kit but involves a 12-string Warr guitar, an instrument that covers the range of a bass and guitar and is generally played by tapping.

Also, does anyone else think that their earlier stuff is better than most of Skullgrid?

In my opinion, the point of Arctopus' music isn't to be cohesive or to have "feeling" like the sense of a typical metal band- it's meant to be unpredictable and at times seemingly random. If they wanted to have constant grooves and feelings throughout each song (which is the thing most haters seem to have against them), they could just make typical metal or whatever type of music.

Dysrhythmia is twice as listenable as Arctopus, but half as awesome.

Maybe they can think about writing songs for a change instead of abusing the Warr guitar nonstop.

Seems like they've been on hiatus for a while. Hopefully they're testing some drummers out during whatever free time they might have.

God damn haters, if you don't care for this music then get the fuck out but don't come in here and act like this shit is devoid of any value. I will choke you with my fucking balls. These guys aren't my favorites, but fuck you, fuck off.
