Since 2007, Behold The Arctopus has made some serious changes. Dropping the ellipsis from their name, bringing in jazz-noise-skronk-based drummer Weasel Walter, and ushering in more of a black metal influence--likely from guitarist Colin Marston who continues to expand the genre in his recent endeavors with Krallice--the band has shuffled around and tightened up in more ways than one.

Returning with their first full-length since 2007's debut album Skullgrid, Behold now embarks on an exploration of horror with their latest album, Horrorscension. The album's first single, "Horrorsentience", carries over the naming convention for a driving instrumental track--check out the endless blast-beats and shred riffs below. Horrorscension will be released on October 23rd.
