Hailing from New York City, Behold... the Arctopus looks very promising.The instrumental trio comprised of Mike Lerner (guitar),Charlie Zeleny (drums)and Colin Marston (Warr guitar,a 12 string instrument played primarily by tapping that covers the range of guitar and bass), plays intensely virtuosic and complex progressive metal with avant-garde leanings that completely avoids sounding dated or cliche.They 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 progressive metal music
