Artist: LOCRIAN
Album: RETURN TO ANNIHILATION (DIGI)

Year: 2013
Media type: CD

Chicago’s blackened noise geniuses LOCRIAN spent the second half of 2012 crafting ‘Return To Annihilation’, their Relapse debut.  Locrian have been creating their own brand of epic noise drone for close to a decade, but ‘Return To Annihilation’ is the culmination of their sound.  Equal parts black metal, noise and drone, LOCRIAN’s ‘Return To Annihilation’ is a terrifyingly beautiful vision of bright menace.  The soundtrack of the bright white lights we’ll all see before the very end of days.

‘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
