I just found these guys. They are straight up fast and intense prog metal. The "bassist" is using a 12 string warr guitar. Ive found myself completely in love with his gritty tone and how it cuts through. Check them out at http://beholdthearctopus.com/
Any ideas on how to achieve a tone similar to that would be great. |

You'd be surprised how many people are helpful in that respect... even "big name" players you'd think are too busy. |

I just noticed they're going on tour with Dysrythmia, I'll probably go see them when they come to CT. BTW, Dysrythmia is an awesome prog-strumental. Give them a listen if you haven't already.

Check out Infidel? / Castro! for some really bizarre stuff as well!

Do they have any other recordings?  I'm bummed I missed them play last weekend in New Haven w/ Dysrythmia and Yakuza. My buddy caught them and said they stole the show. He too was in awe while marveling at Colin's bass shredding.
