  • you guys suck so much dick

  • worst drummer ever?

  • @samuriguy909 Worst comment ever?

  • @justdrop mad? Listen in the beginning how bad the rhythm is.

  • @samuriguy909 lol, why would I be mad exactly? You don't understand the genre, obviously, if you believe that the pattern is set throughout the song.

  • You guys are fucking idiots this band is the shit

  • this is just overkill, overdone technical/math metal. it has a bit here and there that is actually enjoyable but overall too too much.

  • that guitarist is so sloppy during the solo (whole song)

  • sounds like guns of summer by coheed and cambria.

  • It sounds like an arctopus!

  • This is definitely not my thing musically, but these guys definitely know their way around their instruments. That video of the guitar and bass alone sounds atrocious, but the drums are what defines the piece rhythmically. Can't judge them entirely on that instructional video.

  • fuck easy listening! behold the arctopus rules!

    these dudes are heck of talented!

    and haters can go eat a dick and listen to whatever the fuck they like...

  • evolved metal

  • I found this band by seeing some of those "worst band ever" mixes, but I think they're pretty awesome. I wouldn't mind seeing them live at a house/basement show or something.

  • sounds like some super mario shit LOL

  • I WANNA POUR GASOLINE ON A CAT LIGHT ON FIRE AND AAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • this slays. haters are clueless

  • @biffbiffton Haters are smarter than people who actually like this. The guitars together are so out of key it hurts. Its just SLOPPY playing, and so amateur. This is what I played when I first started playing various instruments. There are maybe one or two decent parts in this thing...and that's IT. The rest is just...how are these guys real? Seriously? Do they take themselves seriously?

  • @freakfreak12345 I remember when I started my first band. We just wanted to be like Green Day, but all we could play was revolutionary, hyper-intricate, technical math rock. I was so pissed. But hey, we've all been there...

  • cscrignaro, you said that the guy didn't have enough strings on his guitar. Well, I disagree.  I think he had too many- far too many.

  • Lots of wing flapping, but no flying. Lame and pointless.  And crappy.

  • i liked it 0:25 to 0:50 that sht at the beginin sounded like shit, very complicated but shitty

  • this song is pretty fucking good, it has skill, hidden melody, no pussy scene kid breakdowns, no vocals and it doesn't put u in a sense of security.

  • OK, I checked out the vids of just the guitar and bass and it sucked but someone said it was better with drums. Not particularly my taste in music but the drums did pull it together. I agree that the tone of the instruments could be much better but this has some merit as music. It gets old very quickly though.

  • Wow! You guys fucking suck!

  • 4/4 Ionian. Woot.

  • @TheZombieXecutioner Someone just started playing guitar. There's no excuse for you mistaking this for the Ionian mode.

  • The worst thing about this really is the guitar tone. The tone is just shitty and muddy. I mean, it isn't my style of music and you won't catch me saying I like it, but the guitar players got skill.

  • good skill dosent really sound good tho

  • @Termaime just because you're used to C major 4/4. Me, i'm raised with all kinds of music in the background. So I find this piece rather interesting.

  • @1bol1

    thats a dumb thing to say. youre dumb.

  • @1RodeToAsaBay I'm dumb?. Says you who can't spell. And why is it dumb that I find this interesting? Can you inferior brain please come up with atleast one reason why it's dumb to find an akward song interesting? or is it to hard for you?

  • what is this i don't even

  • reminds me of sleep terror, i don't think i like it too much though. mad props for skill, no melody though, i need that in my music. the dissonant parts are sick though.

  • Now I'm not usually someone who likes dissonance but here it works really well

  • no

  • I can play this on my classical guitar!

  • I love this. it reminds me of Dillinger Escape plan

  • I dont think he has enough strings on his bass

  • OMG.....................dull.

  • Epic win of a song title :D

  • Comment removed

  • From a technical standpoint I can't really fault it, but in terms of musicality it's still somewhat lacking.

  • Fucking love this group

  • ...Trying too hard.

  • I think ill just listen to braindrill

  • This is cool, if they came to my town in England I would go and see them for sure, nice shreddin guys

  • theres actually some pretty cool parts to this song...just wish they would fall into a groove instead of constantly changing what is going on every 8 seconds.

  • @griffknox Nothing wrong with trying to push the mathematical boundaries of coherent music.

  • Comment removed

  • Mindless! 

  • This song is written in ^%&^--minor key.

    Guitarist uses this tuning: Z-^-#-Y-Z-(Steelers logo).

  • I reaaalllyyy hope this isnt what metals gonna turn into, uninspired, robotic, mindless fretboard molestation

  • I rea

  • this band is pretty good, it's just this album is so experimental

  • It dosn't have any atmosphere. :/

  • I like

  • ??????????????????????????????­?????????????

  • OMG this band sounds different to my usual tastes!! It doesn't sound like all the other bands I listen to so I must automatically dislike it!

  • @CastratedWeasel nah, people don't like it because these guys focus on technicality, not making music, not making melodies, just sounds that are hard to play, kind of like dragonforce

  • @CastratedWeasel

    actually it just sounds like fucking noisy shit

  • @CastratedWeasel LOL :D

  • I'm not saying this is bad or anything. I guess it's an aquired taste.

  • It's weird how this song instantly sounds cool when they have drums/production on their instruments and sounds like a chorus of elephants farting when it's just two guys

  • Sounds much better with drums.

  • does his bass have enough strings?

  • @sunnyztmoney That is not a bass.. It's a chapman stick.

    Lrn2instrument

  • @someblackguy666 It's a Warr guitar

    

  • @CardgamesonYoshi warr guitars and sticks are like nearly the same thing, the the warr just has a body at the end.

  • @loreizzle395 there still different

  • Nope, tried to like it but it sounds like some faggot in a music store trying to play the guitar thinking he is god. I don't know what you guys like about it. Just a random mess of notes.

  • sounds like bullfuck. go and learn something about harmony and get a normal guitar like 6 7 or 8 strings. but that shit thing makes you sound ridiculous.

  • Wow.. This is atrocious :(

  • The thing is they aren't a terrible band, they can play riffs most guitarists can't, but their execution is god awful. Please just play regular metal.

  • ok I've tried listening to these guys. Don't care for them.

  • The Arctopus sounds like Craptopus.

    

  • Animals as Leaders know how to do it right...

  • what a fucking awful mess

  • people that hate this band seriously need to check out dysrhythmia. because colin marston is one of the greatest musicians of this age right now.

  • Comment removed

  • you guys suck all you fags like is gay ass slayer go listen to them you faggets

  • Some of these riffs are actually awesome :/ and the way the bass player plays is sick.

  • Many find this bad and unaccessible, I was one of those when I first heard this, but then I heard 'Canada', 'You're numbered six'... and I knew I had hit gold! Extremely intelligent musicians who don't give a shit to what people think.

  • brokeNCYDE in description... no way, they´re way much shittier

  • When I went onto the video it was already muted ...I get why now D:

  • the tone at 0:49 reminds me of yyz by rush...

  • A prime example of why "technical" does NOT always mean "good." Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it took a lot of hard work to perfect and orchestrate their chaos, but the final product sounds like a new form of torture for CIA interrogations, just sayin'

  • Some people would just call this noise. Which is funny, because apparently I am one of those people.

  • @pongo1111 all music is noise...

    you may now graduate

  • @pongo1111 Some people would just call you gay. Which is funny, because apparently I am one of those people.

  • @iamhomo1 Aw damn it. Left my self open for that one. Good eye.

  • @pongo1111 :D

  • im sorry despite these guys being good at what they do i just cannot like math :') just my oppinion

  • The song is name is Alcoholocaust, the song is meant to sound like they are drunk...

  • This is awesome. Why y'all hatin?

  • i think im starting to like this shit

    only closed my eyes and listened. mind open.

  • Is this music? o.o

  • shitty math metal with no transition whatsoever.

  • i admire the technicality, but i would never listen to this as music

  • Sorry, but this is just crap...

  • man I got to say this is one of the coolest songs I've heard in a long time.

  • Try hards. Wow

  • This band is one of the best I've ever heard. If they had a vocalist, for instance Troy Sanders or Brent Hinds (or them both), or the guys over in Baroness this band will become Hyper-sonic!

  • 1:43 - 2:00 for a sec i tought they knew how to write music.

    Sorry, despite that they have talent the music just sounds AWFUL. Not necessarily because its techncial,progressive or holds no structure.

    The guitar playing just sounds ''awful'. This band is musical wankery in purest form.

  • When I hear this music walking alone at night, I know certain death will come soon.

  • If you don't understand that good and bad is subjective and your opinion is not the absolute truth then kill yourself. Please and thank you.

  • That is Sparta, this is crap!

  • melodical as hell xD

  • difficult but still shit

    

  • This is just noise.

  • Comment removed

  • This is pure brilliance.

  • There's no doubting the kid can play guitar well, he just can't write a song for shit.

  • How the fuck do you even play that!! Your hands have got2 be cut in half after playing riffs that mean on a guitar that thick!!

  • @gloryofwar82

    so is war

  • @Steviepth No just war

  • @gloryofwar82 to bad it's mathcore dumass !

  • @gloryofwar82 haha, you can't judge metal based on this band. They are definitely... different to say the least.

  • @gloryofwar82 So is your mom...but not in bed!!! ;D

  • I memorized the entire song before it was over.

  • DAT SNARE!

  • god this is one of the shittiest try hard math metal bands out there. The bass is only there for shock factor, and the time signatures aren't too different than most. You guys want a real math metal band fucking check out Blotted Science. the best music you have ever heard. or AAL doesn't matter both kill this garbo.

  • @MuhammadSweepmez Thats... Not bass. Thats the 12 string at work. They have 2 guitarists. L2Music

  • @burnasembers99 lol thats a bass my friend....you are quite delusional. Don't even try to be a troll with your /b/ faggotry "L2music" this isn't music, but AAL and Blotted Science sure is.

  • @burnasembers99 Ok Mister Music Master. Look up the band. Google "Behold... The Arctopus line-up". Then tell me who plays bass.

  • @MuhammadSweepmez So much win, considering your username as well.

  • @MuhammadSweepmez

    lol, charlie zeleny is the drummer of this band as well as blotted science. And he is without a doubt one of the most brilliant drummers out there; his work in BtA is a lot more difficult and chaotic than most of his other works and I love it.

    But how can you call this garbage when such a brilliant mind such as charlie zeleny helped create this?

    just open your mind a bit more and you'll see the musical amazingness BtA brings the metal community.

  • @Steviepth Just because this crap has a good drummer, which is subjective, doesn't make it good.

  • @Steviepth you can call anything crap regardless of it's creator you fanboy tool

  • @MuhammadSweepmez I'd say these guys jam pretty hard. When you say the bass is only there for shock factor, do you mean like Rob Zombie movies, or do you mean that it's shockingly good? The time signatures are pretty weird compared to most other rock music.

  • @yartytaddle66 Shock factor, Like just for you to say, "holy fuck look at all those strings, they must be good if they have a bass with that many strings!" and the time signatures aren't that different :/ Listen to BrainFingerprinting by Blotted Science, the time signatures there are 23/16 and the song is catchy as fuck.

  • @MuhammadSweepmez You seem to be mistaken sir. I don't care how many strings you have on any instrument, It's not impressive unless you can play it well, and he most certainly can. In fact he, to my knowledge, he is the only person in the metal community that has been able to do so. I am not impressed when a person sits down at a piano, but when they play beethoven's fifth I'm a little more inclined to think of them as a musician.

  • @Shinyfilm Agreed on the Ability to Play part. I just don't dig these guys, it sounds like nonsense. The Bassist does seem pretty talented, but im sorry the guitarist is just garby garb. He is so sloppy with his technique, and his theory isn't too on key. I agree with your statement though. Im more in to bands like AAL, Blotted Science, Periphery, Cynic, and the occasional Brain Drill.

  • @MuhammadSweepmez im gonna guess that you dont know anything about music and you dont play any instruments.

  • @TendingToTheCorpses Lmao, i play guitar, piano, and drums. im probably above you in all of those categories in skill level. I have an extensive taste in music. Not just Death Metal. So to say i don't know music, is radical. This is from a guy who listens to Death, then will go to listening to Tupac. I have more variety, so i instantly know more music than you :) goodbye.

  • @MuhammadSweepmez any jerk off on youtube can say they play tons of intruments. you have no videos to prove it. go on my page and listen to some of my drumming (live to die) and you think you're the only one that listens to different kind of music. my favorite bands go from the black dahlia murder to circa survive to the killers. i listen to rap, folk, etc. the fact that you think this song/band is shitty proves that your dont know anything about music. ignorant prick

  • @TendingToTheCorpses lmao you blow at drums. Nuff' Said.

  • @MuhammadSweepmez Shit sorry didn't realise you were trollin. My bad =)

  • @NightXemnas thank you good sir. You finally caught on. :P

  • @MuhammadSweepmez Lol, actually he didn't catch on... Yet. I'm just a random that came into the argument.

  • @NightXemnas Yeah i know he didn't. I just meant you were the first lol.

  • @sthxdnn1 Um...there is such a thing...moron...

  • Comment removed

  • @sthxdnn1 I just googled it again to make sure, and yes, there is such a thing as math metal.

  • @sthxdnn1 This isn't fucking death metal at all, technical or not.

  • @MuhammadSweepmez also check out tony danza tap dance extravaganza...and this isnt garbo idiot

  • lmao at nano nucleonic cyborg summoning (thats the name of the album this songs on) wtf

  • This is just such an experimental song, i give them credit for having the balls to even put it out there for us to hear and critic.

  • This isnt music at the slightest. Maybe in 100 years the kids will go crazy over this.

  • This is a great song. Bruno Mars is awful.

  • At least it sounds slightly better with drums

  • i actually like this =]

    ...and LOL at the yugioh card ;)

  • I hear a semblance of groove in this music when it becomes polyrhythmic, otherwise, the drummer holds down the groove. What they need is a Chapman stick player to nail everything together.

  • THis is written in the key of WTF mixo-crazyan.

  • DAT BASS

  • @whilwheaton WIN

  • I still dunno what to think about this band. I like this song sorta. And they're obviously brilliant musicians and composers. But their music is so deliberately inaccessible that it borders on masturbatory...well...I guess it's at least a cool experiment in pissing off youtubers?

  • @KingHobum I have to say I like your take on this. It's really true, they're bizarre. I think they literally wrote this project to be out there or inaccessible as well. At the same time, I have to say I really enjoy listening to this.

  • man its pretty sad the way people are today...they act as if this band is killing their pride and have to go on to youtube to say this and that. fact that this band is soooo much more different than most is cool..fuck all you lil trendy ass pussies,you dont know shit about anything and all you can handle is shit youve brainwashed youself into listening to.music is dead but when someone comes along and tries something different in which we need to progress everybody is a hater.fags

  • @skatinsince97 Lawl, it's unusual I'll give you that. But dischords and atonality have been done before, and in such a better way, that this is insignificant and/or complete bollocks.

  • Wow they play really well for an entirely deaf band!!

  • well.... i actually like it...

  • this is in the key of ear homicide

  • i have never figured out why people rip on Behold... The Arctopus so much , i think its great

  • Listen to the Warr guitar and drummer, they're actually not bad at all. Seriously.

    At 0:49, it becomes evident that the yellow guitar player isn't musical at all and can't harmonize for shit. Take him out of the picture, and this song will become legit prog metal.

  • two words...NO FKINTALENT

  • A warr guitar is cool. This band is not.

  • As an alarm clock tone, that wouldn't just wake me up. It'd piss me off.
