The ambient doom duo with the black metal soul, Locrian have made another foray into the vinyl world with The Clearing (TMT News), which is being touted as their definitive release. Opener “Chalk Point” is the perfect track to don a black cloak and stand in fog to. Exactly three minutes in, I promise you will be reaching to turn up the volume knob. Would love to have this automatically cue up on some invisible boombox every time something badass happens, but what wouldn’t seem badass with this as the soundtrack? The cover features an appropriately decrepit photograph by Brian Ulrich of what I believe is a building in Detroit. Hits the streets November 1.
