Psyopus (sometimes written as PsyOpus) is a mathcore 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 himself playing in order to prove that he could actually play as fast as he does.

  • Psyopus (alternative Schreibweise PsyOpus) ist eine Mathcore-Band aus Rochester, USA. Ihre Musik vereinigt Stilelemente der Genres Grindcore, Technical Death Metal, Progressive Rock und Free Jazz und zeichnet sich durch extreme Geschwindigkeit, häufige Breaks und Tempiwechsel, dissonante Intervalle, sowie hochkomplizierte Songstrukturen aus. Eingängige Melodien bzw. Hooklines sind dagegen selten. Der Gesang umfasst gebrüllte und gekreischte, aber auch gesprochene Passagen. Kennzeichnend für die Band sind die Virtuosität und technischen Fertigkeiten der Instrumentalisten. Dies gilt insbesondere für den Gitarristen Christopher Arp („Arpmandude“), der das einzige verbliebene Gründungsmitglied ist und bis heute nahezu alle Kompositionen der Band alleine schreibt.
  • Psyopus, también escrito PsyOpus es una banda de Rochester, Nueva York. Formados en 2002, el grupo está caracterizado por su metal extremo y altamente técnico, la base para llevar a cabo su Avant-garde metal; a la locura ordenada de sus guitarras se la conoce como mathcore. Christopher Arp, "Arpmandude", es el guitarrista y capataz de esta máquina técnica. Con el objetivo de firmar con marcas de guitarras, Arp se ha tenido que grabar en numerosas ocasiones tocando la guitarra para demostrar que puede tocar la guitarra tan rápido como lo hace. Como los grandes de la guitarra, Arp aprendió solo en casa escuchando a Metallica, Megadeth y tocando durante toda la noche. La banda lanzó su primer álbum en 2004 bajo el nombre de Ideas of Reference, pero fue en su segundo álbum, Our Puzzling Encounters Considered (2007), cuando la técnica de Arp a las seis cuerdas se hizo más compleja y "alocada". El 17 de febrero de 2009, la banda lanzó su tercer álbum, llamado Odd Senses.

In order to receive endorsement deals from various guitar and amp companies, Arp had to send a live video of himself 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. " 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. " The band released their 2nd album Our Puzzling Encounters Considered in February 2007. The techniques Arp uses have made it even more difficult to receive any endorsement. Arp himself said, "Mesa Boogie has not done very much to sponsor me because I do too much of this," as he raised his guitar by the whammy bar shaking it up and down. The band released their third studio album Odd Senses, on February 17, 2009.

O destaque técnico da banda é Christopher Arp, guitarrista e líder da banda. Por seu trabalho de inovação musical - utilizando elementos descomunais na música tradicional - e suas letras extremamente agressivas, a banda vem recebendo um grande número de apreciadores e um grande número de depreciadores ao redor do mundo.
