Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating at the nexus of dark ambient and extreme metal, the Chicago duo crafted an immersive, suffocating sonic environment. The project heavily relies on sustained, blackened drones and harsh noise textures to evoke a bleak, post-apocalyptic soundscape. It established Locrian as a vital, highly experimental force within the intersection of the noise and modern metal undergrounds.
