Chicago, Illinois, United States (2005 – present)
Locrian is an experimental / drone three-piece band from Chicago, Illinois, United States formed in late 2005.
The band’s music was described by Allmusic as an “eclectic mixture of black metal, electronics, drone, and noise rock”. Allmusic writer Ned Raggett also identified progressive rock influences on The Crystal World. The band have identified krautrock and 1990s death metal as influences.
Locrian was formed in late 2005 by André Foisy and Terence Hannum, who had previously played together in Unlucky Atlas. Foisy is originally from Northern New York, while Hannum is from Florida. The group has released over 20 recordings in their relatively short lifespan, on labels such as Small Doses, Bloodlust!, and At War With False Noise, as well as on the group’s private label Land of Decay.
In 2009, the band released their first studio album, Drenched Lands. The album was met with acclaim from the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Reader, and Rock-A-Rolla magazine. Locrian followed its release with a United States tour, including a special Pitchfork Media sponsored Show No Mercy show in New York City, New York.
Their 2009 Rain of Ashes release features two 30-minute long tracks recorded live at the University of Maryland’s radio station WMUC.

Locrian & Mamiffer - Bless Them That Curse You. "Coming out soon." As if The Clearing wouldn't be enough to tide people over.

The Clearing seems like an EP. Shit's way too short. Coprolite is a delicious meal. An ancient delicious meal.

New one is great. Kinda feels like a mixture of the 3 albums, whereas I felt they were all kinda different from eachother. Can't wait for the vinyl.

New album reminds me of Gravetemple, specially The Clearing. The ambient recreated is gloomy and pretty much organic. It doesn't sound nor pioneer nor cliché: its trick it's that every detail matters and stands for an inspired aesthetic choice. Highly recommended.
