So !mypetoctopus had reached the fame and fortune that we had always desired. Except...we didn't. Only we listened to our own tracks, jabbing each other in the ribs and making stupid giggling noises. It was obvious from the beginning that !mpo would never be anything more than a fun joke. After coming to this realization again, we decided to get...experimental.
Since I am a southern boy, I have always enjoyed the off-shoot of metal, southern metal. It hold an almost...country air, but it is infused with the goodness of metal. Heavy riffs, breakdowns...you know, the good stuff :). I won't brag, but I know a couple of riffs. I threw a few together. We filled the song with irrelevant, shit lyrics. We recorded myself urinating. After many hours of back-breaking work, we were left with a classic: Piss Dungeon. A drop-d piss-storm of riffs, breakdowns, and two-steps that would leave your buck-toothed Uncle Jeb in tears. I give you, PISS DUNGEON.

Will !mpo's next direction continue down the dusty Alabama trail? Or would we head to the beach with a head bobbing new single? Tune in to find out more!

Get Your Face on the Dance Floor
Crabcore.
The words strikes fear in the hearts of music lovers everywhere. Little tweenie punks in black v-necks squatted down chugging palm muted open strings while synth noodles in the background. blech!
When faced with mixing the brutality of !mypetoctopus with the silliness and overall awfulness of crabcore, my friend and I smiled at each other and got to work.
The result was a brutal assault on the ears called "Get Your Face on the Dance Floor." Silly name, but hey...we are a silly band.
The song features a synth lick that is repeated throughout the song, epic palm mutes, dissonance, and riffs, and a techno break that will get anyone dancing. This song is considered our 2nd most popular song next to "Piss Dungeon," our "breakthrough" "single." (Lots of quote marks because the legitimacy of this band is questionable at best) :D
As our second song put on the myspace, we were still rusty. We were finding our niche in the metal world. Would we continue down crabcore lane, or go somewhere a bit...warmer?
Stay tuned to find out!
Cheers,
!mpo

EDIT: I am absolutely blown away by all of the positive comments on what is essentially a side project to bide my time. It truly means a lot!
