Behold... The Arctopus is an experimental metal band from Brooklyn, New York, United States. 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. Influences on their music range from heavy metal, fusion to classical music, amongst other genres.
