Locrian are a band from Chicago, Illinois that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a mixture of drone, dark ambient, experimental, avant garde and post metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "End Terrain" which was released by Profound Lore Records.
Distorted soundscapes and heavy riffing starts off the album while the harsh vocals bring in elements of black metal. Dark ambient syn5ths are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the riffs also adding in a decent amount of melody and blast b eats can be heard when the music speeds up.
Death metal growls are also added into certain sections of the recording while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic post metal style. At times the music also gets very experimental and avant garde sounding along with a couple of the tracks also being very long and epic in length.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the clear vocals bringing in more of a post rock style when t hey are utilized. All of the songs also sound very different from each other and some tracks also add in touches of noise and shoegaze. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon a future earth consumed by waste.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Locrian and if you are a fan of drone, dark ambient, experimental, avant garde and post metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Chronoscapes" "The World is Gone. There is No World" "Black Prisms Of Our Dead Age" and "After Extinction". 8 out of 10.
