IO Album Giveaway: Locrian's "The Clearing & The Final Epoch"
…
In the past we’ve debated how ‘metal’ the noise and drone of Locrian really is; it’s a discussion that will likely continue (probably even in the comments here). For me, tracks like “Augury In An Evaporating Tower”–off the upcoming expanded reissue of The Clearing and The Final Epoch–remind me of the scenes in horror films where a killer drags a helpless woman down a dark hallway as she claws at the carpet, shrieking for help–eerie and plenty unsettling, whether it’s metal or not.
Slow and quiet enough to be torturous, yet always moving towards a creeping drone metal unknown, the newly added 2nd disc, The Final Epoch, suggestively links the album to the end of time. I can safely assume that if the hellish drones of Locrian were the last sounds I heard as Earth came crashing down around me, I would certainly be frightened.
