"Territories" Review from Ondarock.it
Link here.
-----------------
LOCRIAN
Territories
(Small Doses) 2010
ambient-drone, black-metal, noise
di Francesco Nunziata
plus
less
Coadiuvati da Mark Solotroff (Bloodyminded, Anatomy of Habit) alla voce e al sintetizzatore, Blake Judd (Nachtmystium) alla chitarra, Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) al sax e Andrew Scherer (Velnias) alla batteria, Andre Foisy e Terence Hannum dimostrano, con “Territories”, di voler puntare ad un suono ancora più oscuro e “profondo”.
Sempre pregna di quell’angoscia cosmica figlia di una quotidiana desolazione, la loro musica è una miscela particolarmente originale di umori e tensioni disparate, giungendo anche in pieno territorio black-metal durante il piccolo cataclisma di “Procession Of Ancestral Brutalism”. Bisogna, comunque, rilevare che, in questo caso, sono pochi i momenti davvero esaltanti, con una prima parte che si lascia preferire ad una seconda un tantino troppo ripiegata su se stessa, per non dire “manierista”.
Così, se la tetra distesa sci-fi di “Ring Road” non fa altro che continuare a sviluppare le idee di “Between Barrows” (quest’ultima, impreziosita da gelide ferite di sax), la malinconia infinita di “Antediluvian Territory” e il pathos marziale di “The Columnless Arcade”, pur se fascinosi, non vanno a segno come vorrebbero o come dovrebbero. Si ripeschi, infatti, la lenta parata funerea di “Inverted Ruins” e non sarà difficile rendersi conto della qualità altalenante dell’opera.
Che "Territories" sia stato salutato, poi, come il momento culmine della loro ispirazione, dimostra quanto poco si siano ascoltati i lavori precedenti, cui vi consiglio vivamente di tornare.

Here's a terrible translation below. If any of our Italian friends feel like translating this then we'll be happy to post it.
Strangely, I was listening to Sigillum S's (Italy) newish Wroclaw 071111 CD, a beautiful album in a fantastic package, when I found this.
--------------------
Assisted by Mark Solotroff (Bloodyminded, Anatomy of Habit) on vocals and synthesizer, Blake Judd (Nachtmystium) on guitar, Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) on sax and Andrew Scherer (Velnias) on drums, Andre Foisy and Terrence Hannum show with " Territories ", to want to aim for a sound more dark and" profound. "
Always full of anguish cosmic daughter of a daily desolation, their music is a very original mixture of disparate moods and tensions, coming in full black-metal territory during the cataclysm of small "Procession Of Ancestral Brutalism." One must, however, noted that, in this case, there are few truly exciting moments, with a first part that is left to a second preferred a little too inward-looking, to say the "Mannerist".
Thus, if the gloomy expanse of sci-fi "Ring Road" does nothing but continue to develop the ideas of "Between Barrows" (the latter enhanced by cold injury sax), the infinite melancholy of "Antediluvian Territory" and martial pathos of "The Columnless Arcade, although fascinating, are not going to sign as they would like or as they should. They fished, in fact, the slow funereal parade of "Inverted Ruins" and will not be difficult to realize the fluctuating quality of the work.
That "Territories" has been hailed, then, as the highlight of their inspiration, shows how little we have heard earlier work, which I recommend you return.
