Before I scoot off I'll just tell you about 'New Erections' the new album from THE LOCUST. If you're familiar with this band then you'll know what's in store. Angry agressive technically astounding heavy punk / metal. When they get slow and heavy they're pretty damn good. Slow and heavy rules. They play super fast too, lots of speed changes and volume changes with a demonic vocalist that sounds like he's posessed. For fans of Carcass, Fantomas, An Albatross and other forward thinking experimental monster metal. Kick ass music for the freaks. CD only on Anti.The Locust has been throwing up in the face of conventional music since 1995, when the band formed from the pieces of San Diego hardcore stalwarts, Swing Kids and Struggle. Since then, it has hosted a veritable “Who's Who” of punk royalty. Everyone from Tristeza/Album Leaf/GoGoGo Airheart/Crimson Curse's Jimmy LaValle, to Tarantula Hawk's Dave Warshaw and Dylan Scharf, and Cattle Decapitation's David Astor have gone in and out of the band's turnstile. The songs are fast -- usually under a minute -- atrociously ultra-violent and drenched in sci-fi-noise, gruesome keyboards and herky jerky, bestial scream/sing vocals
-- described by one journalist as "a car-wreck with vocals." New Erections is The Locust’s follow -up to their acclaimed 2003 ANTI-/Epitaph debut Plague Soundscapes. The San Diego group – bassist/vocalist Justin Pearson, drummer Gabe Serbian, keyboardist/vocalist Joey Karam and guitarist/vocalist Bobby Bray – changed things up for New Erections. “We don’t want to limit our art in any way, shape or form… We like the challenge of reaching those who would not naturally stumble upon us, or those who are not accepting of what we do.” With longer tracks, and Mars Volta producer Alex Newport at the helm, New Erections should find new fans for this adventurous quartet.
