| Just listening to some- it's good, but I completely fail to see how it's psychedelic or space rock. |

So do I, it's straight up heavy rock and fupping roll (with progressive elements mind), and the wall of sound created is phenomenal. Apparently Sel uses 6 amplifiers to get the sound he wants or something, so they are certainly aptly named. ------------- And lo, the mighty riffage was played and it was good

I'd say New Prog/Alternative/Hard Rock really. But I know little about Genres. The Octopus sounds bloody terrific, pretty damn Psychedelic and Progressive if you ask me.

| there is only one song i have heard of this band, Area 51. i loved the song, but after sometime figured out it sounded a bit like Reflection (Tool - Lateralus). Am I the only one? :S |
