5 stars Melodic is not an adjective one usually uses when describing a Behold...The Arctopus release...more like extreme chatoic. That said, I knew Colin Marston / Warr guitar, guitar synth had it in him. Marton's stellar performances with Gorguts, Krallice, and Dysrhythmia made me a believer. Houston! We have a melody!

With Interstellar Overtrove, Marston slows things down a bit. Jason Bauers' drums skitter like a centipede scurrying up your spine. Jibber jabber, talk-talk, slitter-splatter split matter...tick tock, pitter-patter...Colin pivots on the porch top of a human skull. Clitter-clatter, take a little guitar synth synthesizer lip gloss, and fold it into the lull of the space/time signature criss-cross across the Arctopus. Behold the band forsake chaos for the folks in focus who clamor for a mysterious hocus-pocus, time/space detonation... obliteration. Short, shark, sharp.

A monotreme masterpiece of instrumental math rock- tech/extreme. Well worth your time...especially if you always wanted Melody swinging in your Arctopus.
