Behold the Arctopus - Horrorscension

This past February, jazzy, schizophrenic, experimental metallers Behold… The Arctopus announced a new lineup and followed that with a new song called “Disintegore” in April. At the time, no release date or record label had been announced, although they’d already set Horrorscension as the new album’s name. Now the band’s got both a release date and a label… and they’ve also changed their band name…

Guy Kozywyk’s Black Market Activities label will release Horrorscension on October 23rd, great news for fans of BTA’s skullgrinding mindfuckery. The band has decided to drop the infamous ellipsis (“…”) from their name to symbolize the beginning of a new era now that their lineup is 66.6% different than it was on their previous album. Now they’re simply “Behold The Arctopus,” no dot dot dot.

The new lineup features Mike Lerner (guitar, Nader Sadek) and Weasel Walter (drums, The Flying Luttenbachers) alongside 12-string Warr wielder / band mastermind Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice, Dysrhythmia).

Here’s “Disintegore” again in case you missed it earlier this year. Pre-order Horrorscension here.
