Locrian is an experimental music/drone rock band which formed in Chicago, Illinois, United States in late 2005[1] and is currently based in Chicago and Baltimore, Maryland.[2] The band features Terence Hannum (synthesizers, vocals, tape loops), Steven Hess (drums, electronics), and André Foisy (electric, 12-string, acoustic guitars, tape loops, and electronics).[3] The group incorporates influences from multiple genres including ambient, black metal, noise, drone, industrial, and electronics,[4] and cite One Eyed God Prophecy, Uranus,[5] Yes, Genesis,[6] Brian Eno, and Robert Fripp as influences.[7] Locrian lyrics and artwork evoke dystopic and apocalyptic imagery. Over their ten-year history, Locrian have released six studio albums, three collaborative albums, and numerous limited edition releases.
