2015 marks ten years since the formation of Chicago-based LOCRIAN, who over the past decade has left a smoldering mass of well over twenty recordings in their wake, many of them self-released, many others through labels including Diophantine Discs, Bloodlust!, Plague Journal, Small Doses, At War With False Noise, Land of Decay, Pilgrim Talk and others before signing with Relapse Records in 2012 for the release of their The Clearing LP. The band’s experimental/avant approach unifies post-industrial and black metal persuasions in a crushing alloy of organic and mechanical elements, having earned them widespread media praise from countless underground and mainstream media outlets and journalist worldwide.
