LOCRIAN:
The Clearing/The Final Epoch To See Release
Experimental,
dark ambient / noise trio LOCRIAN
are
set to release their most recent recording (previously available only on vinyl)
The
Clearing
as a 2CD/Digital deluxe album with a bonus disc re-titled as The
Clearing/The Final Epoch via
Relapse Records. The second disc contains almost an hour of previously
unreleased material containing the band’s signature sound of ominous crescendos
mixed with powerful atmospherics and pulverizing tension. This deluxe
reissue, housed in a gorgeous mini “tip-on” gatefold package will see an August
14th release and is available for pre-order now at this location.
LOCRIAN,
located in Chicago, IL and Baltimore, MD has released over 20 recordings on an
eclectic array of labels in their relatively short but prolific career,
including a recent split with label-mates HORSEBACK. Additionally, the
group plan to enter the studio later this year for their full-length Relapse
debut.
LOCRIAN is available for interviews upon request. To speak with the band, simply contact bob@relapse.com. Updated LOCRIAN news / album information will be made available at the Relapse Records website: RELAPSE.com and the LOCRIAN Facebook page.
“Plenty of bands play music that sounds dark, but few can make every note bleed black and breathe smoke. Count Locrian as part of that select circle.” – Pitchfork
“Countless musicians have tried to imitate [Locrian’s] brand of dense, blackened experimentalism, but Locrian remains in a class all their own.” – OMG Vinyl
“They access the alienated moods and harsh outlook of metal’s blackest wings in distinct but complementary ways.” – MetalSucks
