| Seeing as Odd Senses is on the blog there's gotta be some fans, I really don't know how to describe them but to me it sounds like really progressive and spazzy mathcore. They're definately a challenging listen, that's for sure. - Quote :
- Psyopus (sometimes written as PsyOpus) is a avant-garde metal band from Rochester, New York. Formed in 2002, the band is noted for the unorthodox and extremely technical guitar techniques of Christopher Arp, often referred to as "Arpmandude". In order to receive endorsement deals from various guitar and amp companies, Arp had to send a live video of him playing in order to prove that he could actually play as fast as he does. Arp considers Psyopus to be a very technically proficient band: "I understand people not understanding us so by default the music comes across as noise but, the music makes sense to us all too much and every 16th note was scrutinized." [2] Regarding learning to play guitar, Arp says: "I learned to play guitar in my bedroom. I got my first guitar in eighth grade. I bought Metallica tablature books, Megadeth books, guitar magazines, didn’t do homework and just played guitar all night." [3]
