Mick Barr is an American avant-garde metal guitarist. His main projects are avant bands Orthrelm, Crom-Tech (disbanded), metal group Krallice, and solo projects Octis and Ocrilim. He also was a member of The Flying Luttenbachers. His style is characterized by awkward, loud and fast electric guitar "shredding", in which a main melodic line, or a harmonic progression, are completely absent.
Barr released a solo album under his own name: "Octis: Iohargh Wended", on Tzadik Records. Given this title and the music, it can be considered an Octis album. It features Barr's typical, technical guitar playing, of a similar heaviness to PsyOpus or Behold...The Arctopus, and a drum machine. Barr plays on the record by himself and also programs the drum machine. This is his first CD labeled under his name as far as can be seen.
