Behold... the Arctopus play intensely virtuosic and complex progressive metal with avant-garde leanings that completely avoid sounding dated or cliché. The instrumental trio comprised of guitar, drums and touch guitar (a 12 string instrument played primarily by tapping that covers the range of guitar and bass) combine furious virtuosity, detailed composition countered by improvised soloing and certain writing techniques of contemporary classical music to give their insanity a compositional cohesion rarely heard in rock music. Despite their technical nature, they always rock hard and in an engaging way that is as accessible to musicians and non-musicians alike. They are a true metal band that everyone can enjoy, not just the "cult" headbangers.

Nano-Neucleonic Cyborg Summoning is great!
But I got Skullgrid the other day, and it seems to be just noise.

Yeah, just a typo, I've listened to Skullgrid, and I like it. I like the craziness of it.

Yeah I bought Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning the other day, I enjoy listening to it when I'm bored, it keeps me entertained. I was trying to decide if I should buy that one or Skullgrid...for some reason Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning sounded like it would be better, so I bought that one. 3nodding
