“The prolific Chicago-and-Baltimore metallic noise trio Locrian's Relapse debut is their most provocative and engaging album to date. The 50-minute Return to Annihilation is intrinsically elusive, with twists so compelling and layers so deep that each listen reveals a half-dozen new facets.”
“Chicago experimental rock group Locrian creates some evocative sounds on a rough recording. I just wish their melodies and songwriting were as gripping as their moody, apocalyptic aesthetic.”
