eternal return, Locrian, return to annihilation

Pitchfork is currently streaming the opening track from Locrian’s upcoming album Return to Annihilation, which is due out on June 25th through Relapse. I have become so used to Locrian’s dark droning mentality that this new track, “Eternal Return”, really surprised me. This four minute piece opens up with swelling drones that build into a bright collage of melodic, almost post-hardcore ish riffing and rhythms and keyboard melodies. The distorted vocals which are swallowed by one another add a nice dimension of weirdness to this overall upbeat sounding song. I was definitely not expecting this from Locrian. Head over to Pitchfork and check out the track right meow!

Locrian, new album, Relapse, return to annihilation, The Clearing

The Chicago noise shifters Locrian will return this year with their follow up to 2011′s excellent The Clearing. Above is the very minimalistic yet creepy artwork (which reminds me of a scene from The Mist) to Return to Annihilation, Locrian’s upcoming epic that will see a release through Relapse Records on June 25th in North America, June 21st in Germany and Benelux, and June 24th in the UK and the world abroad. Pre-orders for the effort can be found here. No track listing has been made available as of yet. The band has also released an official trailer for the album, which features a short snippet of the album’s title track. It’s sounds trippy and eerie as hell!

Master We Perish, review, The Body

By Lane Oliver

Their 2010 opus, All the Waters of the Earth Shall Turn to Blood, was a maniacal journey into a dark realm of utter nihilism, hate and misanthropy, all generated by sound alone. This year, the diabolical duo of The Body, have crawled out from their Rhode Island abodes to unleash onto the world three harsh songs that take the most malevolent moments of Waters and combines them into one tortured beast of an EP. Master, We Perish, is a truly frightening affair that will strike fear into even the holiest of men.

Master We Perish, pitchfork, The Body, The Ebb and Flow of Tides in a Sea of Ash

Perhaps you remember me mentioning that the apocalyptic duo, The Body, were releasing a new EP this year on on April 30th. Well, now you can get a taste of what’s to come from Master, We Perish via Pitchfork. Pitchfork have premiered the opening track “The Ebb and Flow of Tides in a Sea of Ash” and it is quite the maniacal ditty. The track is initiated by the sounds of air raid sirens that permeate throughout the track while the grumbling sounds of massive guitar and Chip King’s torrid screech make this a sadistic three minutes. If you have the stomach for it, check it out now.
