"All the songs on "VII: Beast of Arpocalyx" are about plants with some kind of animal mythology association. You can read about those in the individual track "abouts." I'm unsure where the inspiration began. Maybe it was seeing the surreal cover artwork in a book, maybe it was first learning about The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary. The word "arpocalyx" first surfaced on "III: Doom in Bloom" on the track "Vriesea": arpocalyx is a variant of that plant. My nerdy outsider mind loved it as it sounded like some green metal perversion of the world "apocalypse." The word stayed in the memory banks until this album." - Otrebor
