Locrian is an experimental project founded in 2005 by Chicago, IL-based academics André Foisy and Terence Hannum, who began collaborating in extremely piecemeal fashion so that their early discography grew to contain over a dozen official and unofficial bite-sized works, issued in limited numbers and multiple formats. Along the way, Locrian's rather scattered creative methods coalesced into more manageable album-sized portions -- namely 2009's Drenched Lands, 2010's Territories, and 2011's The Crystal World -- without relinquishing the right to mix and match musical styles (black metal, noise rock, industrial music, drone, etc.) as they pleased. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
