Land of Decay has got 4 new tapes up for sale in their webstore, along with two Locrian-related tapes that you definitely need to pay some mind. Newly minted on the LOD imprint are Ithi, Number None, The Fortieth Day/Terence Hannum/Sshe Sshe Retina Stimulants and Wraiths. The release of this batch pushes the catalog numbers firmly into the 20s, and the [...]
Speaking of Tape Tuesday, this cassette edition of the Locrian and Mammifer collab dropped yesterday shortly after our post about the vinyl. You can pick up this lovingly prepared edition of 100 200 at bluecollardistro.com or landofdecay.bigcartel.com. See further down the page for sound samples.
Mammifer, the husband and wife duo from Seattle, team up with Locrian, the strictly platonic threesome from Chicago. If that news doesn’t activate every receptor in your experimental metal erogenous zone, then you are likely dysfunctional. Seems that we have been waiting months and months for this vinyl to be released. The moment is now, [...]
It’s not Tuesday, but in case you did not read the title, Land of Decay is currently offering 30% off of all of their tape prices! This is the label run by the Locrian boys, so you know their taste is impeccable, and I seriously recommend that you just add every single tape to your [...]
We’ve been hugely behind pretty much everything Locrian has ever done, they are one of our favorite bands in the world. From what we’ve been hearing, “The Clearing”, their new full-length album, is their best yet. Countless musicians have tried to imitate their brand of dense, blackened experimentalism, but Locrian remains in a class all [...]
Locrian have a new 7″ single out for Flingco Sound System, and they have somehow pulled off the nearly impossible task of covering a Popol Vuh track. No small feat, and this is not simply an uninspired rehash – the Locrian boys infuse it with their own inimitable sound to create something wholly unique and [...]
Good luck trying to pair up a more appropriate or innovative group of artists; what an amazing record this promises to be. Not a split, New Dominions is a collaborative one-side LP. Yeah, I wish there were two sides of music as well – but even without the flip, this crushes in ways barely hinted [...]
Could you possibly ask for a more necessary pairing of artists? Get real; must buy. This insanely enticing 7″ is just a precursor for a collaborative EP forthcoming on Utech Records in June 2011; so try not to get your knickers twisted too hard. This is just a taste. For now, you can grip this essential [...]
Finally. An analog edition of Locrian’s The Crystal World. As if André Foisy and Terrence Hannum weren’t creating enough aural mayhem on their own, they’ve gone and augmented the Locrian core with the percussive innovation of Stephen Hess. If you have not been paying attention to this band, you are seriously missing out on a [...]
Tape Drift steps confidently into the realm of vinyl with this righteous pairing from OMG-approved Locrian and comrades-in-arms Century Plants. This one promises to be a face-peeler; both of these noise merchants peddle a very singular brand of psychedelic-laced, blackened aural alchemy. You cannot possibly leave disappointed or disaffected. Listen to a sound sample at [...]
