Harpoon / Locrian

***Two of Chicago's more notable loudness enterprises deliver one song each on green marble vinyl—"Ancestral Brutalism" by LOCRIAN (ANDREW SHERER of VELNIAS guests) and "To The Tall Trees" by HARPOON (their first release with bass player DJ BARRACA). Lulled Into A Boiling Rage describes Locrian, "Droning and forbidding sounds carried on air at top volume. Time seem[s] to slow down, waiting for the band to lurch toward their next choad rattling note. A perfect soundtrack for a desolate piece of arctic winter." About Harpoon, Cerebral Metalhead said they occupy a "middle ground between Phobia's d-beat leaning grind and Pig Destroyer's more metallic assault" (though, to be fair, they also said "When did A-Ha start playing grindcore?" so, you know, caveat emptor, motherfucker). Bonus material is included via enclosed digital card. With full-color double-sided insert, letter pressed cover.
