Locrian They are a multi-tendrical monster. The former Chicago-based trio, having released countless albums ranging from abstract guitar noise to krautrock and drone-informed metal, are gearing up to release their first “song-driven” album since 2015's Infinite dissolution (Compared to 2022 A new disaster– A full-band drone and noise album guided by improvisation). End terrain is an intense, high-concept album, telling a very personal story of a dystopian future told through the eyes of a parent.
By combining their phenomenal music—some of the most ambitious offerings to date from singer/composer Terence Hannum, guitarist Andre Voisy, and drummer/electronicist Steven Hess—with an art book, stories, and even a bibliography (of invented future texts, very cool), End terrain Taken from all the Lucrian era. With influences dating back to Hannum and Voisy's days as a duo (over fifteen years ago, wow) and through their extensive discography as a trio with Hess, End terrain is an accumulation of ideas, sounds, and a decade of camaraderie as now-displaced experimental musicians. The album's explosive opener “Chronoscapes” is groundbreaking End terrain on an intense basis, with large riffs and expansive soundtracks carefully put together to craft something larger than life. When paired with an intense video clip, which can be watched below, we join the Seers as they watch from afar an apocalyptic future of humanoid creatures destroying everything.
Watch “Chronoscapes” below.
