Locrian

"An Index of Air"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Jun 1, 2015

Devastating drone metal unit Locrian have shared the first ear-rupturing preview from their forthcoming Infinite Dissolution LP. Though the song title "An Index of Air" may initially come across as safe, it won't take long to realize that the band are working with higher gale force winds.

It's a slow build, though, as the song spends its first three-and-a-half minutes examining a cyclical thud of drums and what might be the angriest sounding tea kettle of all time. At its breaking point, it erupts into a swell of blast beats, ethereal guitar lines pushed deep into the red, and glass-shattering shrieking. The back end is played much more melodically, though the amp levels are still punishing
