Octis & Ocrilim ‎- (2003) Ocrilorx-1 7''

Mick Barr is an American avant-garde metal guitarist. Notable for his relentless speed and agility on his instrument, he is most well known for being one half of the band Orthrelm, currently signed to Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings label. On the difference between the two, he says "Ocrilim is Mick Barr overthinking. Octis is Mick Barr underthinking. These names mean nothing when a live show is concerned. Come see Ocrilim and you may be forced to watch Octis."

 Ha ha ha... 
from Your Taste In Music Sucks.com:
I will to the best of my abilities recreate the entirety of the Octis and Ocrilim’s split 7″ record.

*Repeat 34 times*
Octis and Ocrilim are two project by the notorious guitar violator Mick Barr. Boy, can he strum that guitar, like forever and monotonous like a machine! His strumming is very fluid and melodious, sort of, yet he often uses abrupt changes that drives the music forward. Quite silly stuff, and you either love it or hate it.
I don’t know many artists who make split EP’s between two of their own bands, and especially two bands which essentially sounds the same. You take Mick Barr, a drum machine, and you’ve got Ocrilim and Octis.
So yeah, pretty much the same insane, grind, guitar wankery song 36 times. At least Mick Barr is talented and if you want to test your fortitude, listen to Orthrelm’s OV album.
