Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Locust's 'Plague Soundscapes' is a deliberately abrasive fusion of grindcore and mathcore, uniquely defined by the prominent use of spastic analog synthesizers amid its chaotic and complex arrangements. Compressing 23 tracks into roughly 21 minutes, the album functions as a work of extreme sensory overload, built on frantic, split-second changes, blast-beat drumming, and the indiscernible, shrieking vocals of multiple members. The band's debut on the ANTI- label and the first recording to feature Gabe Serbian on drums, the album stands as a polarizing but influential work of extreme music, noted for its technical precision and apocalyptic tone.
