Experimental metal trio LOCRIAN are a prophetic voice of decline and a pioneering force in the world of metal. LOCRIAN's sonic tapestry weaves elements of black metal, ambient, and experimental music, creating a genre-defying experience that pushes the boundaries of conventional metal norms. Their new album 'End Terrain' set for release on April 05, is the proper follow-up to 2015's 'Infinite Dissolution' (Relapse Records) and continues in the vein of LOCRIAN's distinguishable sonic blueprint brought forth from said release along with such albums as the Relapse Records released 'Return To Annihilation' and 'The Clearing/The Final Epoch'. 2022 saw the return of LOCRIAN making their return on their Profound Lore debut 'New Catastrophism' which saw the trio explore and return back to the more experimental side of their roots.

'End Terrain' is the group's most direct and concise work to date. More complex and layered than anything in the prolific trio's catalog, 'End Terrain' is a concept album exposing a vision of a future earth consumed by waste. An apocalyptic landscape, inhabited by a generation who despise their parentage and a dying breed fully aware of the wasteland they have left. Mountains of trash and an uninhabitable planet, endless and dead. End Terrain is about inertia and regret, about the future and a mirror to the present, about mourning and extinction.

A seamless and harrowing blend of experimental, post-rock, and post-metal, 'End Terrain' is the perfect manifestation of modern, forward-thinking experimental music pushed to a maximalist conclusion.

The trio of LOCRIAN, comprised of Andre Foisy (Albany), Terence Hannum (Baltimore), and Steven Hess (Chicago), has garnered critical acclaim for their innovative approach to heavy music. As Marc Masters of Pitchfork noted, 'Plenty of bands play music that sounds dark, but few can make every note bleed black and breathe smoke. Count Locrian as part of that select circle.' Lars Gotrich of NPR praised the group stating that 'Locrian always wants to show us something new - or at least rearrange the context of what heavy means, or even what sound means,' and Jamie Ludwig of Noisey applauded the group for 'masterfully conjuring and destroying alternate universes through music' with each of their releases providing 'challenging sonic adventures and evocative perspectives on the physical state of the world around us.'

In the ever-evolving realm of extreme music, Locrian stands as a testament to the power of artistic exploration. Their geographical spread mirrors the expansive sonic landscapes they traverse, cementing their status as trailblazers in the avant-garde metal scene.
