Locrian é uma banda que eu não teria conhecido caso não mantesse esse blog. Digo isso apenas porque quem me mandou o disco que estou disponibilizando aqui foi a própria banda. Gostei de ver que não sou estou sozinho quando digo que acredito no download gratuito do material da banda para ajudar a mesma no resto da coisas. Mas o ponto aqui não é esse.
Drenched Lands é um disco pesado e denso de doom-drone no estilo de bandas como Sunn 0))), Final e sei lá mais quem.

"Debut vinyl by a Chicago duo who spoon through the night mounted upon a guitar or a synth. It's a noisy piece of work, but the sonic textures are closer to rock (maybe born amidst the debris of a party Killing Joke had just left). The first side is a ride through a wind tunnel, the flip is like a more gracefully arcing dive into a pile of inflatable balloons shaped just like Fripp & Eno on the cover of "No Pussyfooting". But they don't pop when you hit them, they just blast you back into space with a bruise to show for your troubles. Go figure."
"LOCRIAN Local doom-drone duo Locrian recently released Rhetoric of Surfaces (Bloodlust!), their first proper CD after a string of cassettes and CD-Rs, and Greyfield Shrines (Diophantine Discs), their first vinyl LP, and both sound like the music you'd expect to hear piped into a museum of the exorcism arts. Looming monoliths of distorted synthesizer erode in slow motion while a brittle, hazy guitar line wavers slowly back and forth like a rusty weathervane creaking in the wind. And then: the voices. Disembodied howls rising from the devil's asshole. Greyfield Shrines is a single long-form composition—how long depends on you, since there's a locked groove at the end of side one—and its beautiful, eerie tones are matched by its beautiful, eerie packaging. It's pressed on tornado gray vinyl in an edition of 300 and the cover is a silver-on-black negative image of an abandoned shopping mall. On Rhetoric of Surfaces the title of the closing track, "Amps Into Instruments," serves as both statement of purpose and pithy thumbnail of the band's music—the better-known half of Locrian, multi-¬instrumentalist Terence Hannum, just pitched Continuum a proposal for a book about Earth 2. Indian headlines; Bloodiest and Locrian open."
