  • Great technical band!

  • A breath of fresh air in an interweb lousy with ukulele strumming girls singing L.O.V.E.

  • @boobengarden666 I love both of them. I guess Behold just don't care. They don't want their music to sound good. It's just a great crawling and shapeless chaos. That's why I love it. I'd say this is truly Avant-Garde Metal, experimental, while Blotted is more melodic, Technical Death Metal I'd say.

  • it's a real strange music but no way they suck, they are great musicians and who says "it just sucks" "they're pathetic" no they aren't and you can't understand good music or talent

  • Love the comments! This is Charlie Z, the drummer in this video & have since left the band. I've played with Arctopus, Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater, Blotted Science, Joe Lynn Turner among many others. This is way early on in learning the tune so it's nowhere near as tight as it got later on but it's a tune I wrote for the band in their style that is difficult for difficult's sake. Check my SoundCloud for a better studio version of it. But yeah, it's supposed to be over the top & crazy!

  • these guys remind me of a much weaker blotted science. maybe it has something to do with the bass, but in any case they'd probably sound better if not only they played tighter, but also had a much better foundation. but thats just my opinion and i bet these guys are still much better musicians so if anyone else has any insight into why these guys sound kinda shitty please let me know.

  • psychomotor fuckers

  • Okay boys, that was nice. Now lets hear a waltz.

  • As much as i want to appreciate innovative musicians with ground breaking ideas, i would have to be lying to myself if i thought this sounded pleasant or enjoyable. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder but all this music speaks to me is that these musicians want to be different so badly theyll throw most elements of music out the window to demonstrate they can be.
