about
"The final track ”Cenotaph To The Final Glacier” opens almost Dark Folk-like with a sombre acoustic chord progression before being joined by droning, fuzz-heavy electric guitars. Towards the end the guitars fade to be replaced by a distorted beat, crackling noise and a driving synth arpeggio."
-Dan Dolby, Veil of Sound, August 8, 2022
"For all of the darkness Locrian have poured into this album, it should be noted that the final of its four songs “Cenotaph To The Final Glacier” contains both its most human sounds and its most frenetic synthesiser work courtesy of Terence Hannum, and as such of all the music presented here it feels the most forgiving, in opposition to the ecological catastrophe implied by its title. Seven year hiatuses don’t happen for no reason, and there is a sense Locrian has awoken to deliver a message they believe is important. Received in that context, New Catastrophism is a deeply difficult listen: if we’re accustomed to using drone and ambient as an escape from the world, then Locrian are asking us to engage with music of the same category that instead deeply immerses us in it. Do the scenes Locrian have hewn here in ice and stone feel like places you’d want to live in? You already do."

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thousupported by 81 fans who also own “Cenotaph To The Final Glacier”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.

Maybe one of the best records made this century.

The Belgian band explore heavy psych, tribal rhythms, free-jazz freakouts, meditative drone and the vast, shadowy spaces in between.

Cinereous Incarnate
by AbstracterA foreboding black-doom metal dirge, meditating on a dark world caked in ash, resulting from all the Earth’s nuclear arsenal detonating at once.
