Locrian –  New Catastrophism

The new Locrian album New Catastrophism, the first release in seven years, will see its release on 2xCD/LP/Digital on August 12th.  Alongside New Catastrophism, Locrian will also be releasing the Ghost Frontiers EP that will come as a bonus disc with the CD edition, a bonus digital download with the LP, and released through all digital channels on August 12th.  The Ghost Frontiers EP features the two tracks Witness The Collapse Of Geologic Time and The Chasm Of The Future.

New Catastrophism sees the iconic experimental music trio return back to their roots through four immersive tracks that signal towards the band’s signature expressions through dark ambient, experimental music, drone and post rock.  Massive dystopian soundscapes through the intricate, layered, and spacious sound palette Locrian unveil.

 Locrain is a prophetic voice of decline. From the band’s inception, it has comfortably straddled both the experimental and metal underground, weaving themes of apocalypse, urban decay, environmental destruction and birth/death/rebirth throughout its multifaceted and genre-defying releases. The trio formed in 2005 in Chicago and features Terence Hannum (synthesizers, vocals, tape loops), André Foisy (guitars, electronics), and Steven Hess (drums, electronics). Over their sixteen-year history, Locrian have released six studio albums, three collaborative albums, and numerous limited-edition releases.

 New Catastrophism and Ghost Frontiers was recorded and mixed by J. Robbins, mastered by Brad Boatright, and features artwork by Trevor Paglen with design by Chimere Noire.
