The Locust - Safety Second, Body Last (2005)

This 10 minute EP is filled with all of the intensity you hear in The Locust's usual 30 second songs but has trippy ambient lulls in between each of the movements. There are only two tracks but there are 11 movements all together. This EP is great because it takes The Locust's intensity and absurd synth-laced tactics and puts a twist on progressive rock and gives birth to a very deranged piece of music. Enjoy...or dont.

The Locust - Plague Soundscapes (2003)

Extreme Music Day Part Deux: The Locust. They are ridiculous in every way. The song titles, the vocals, the lyrics (if one could understand them), the arrangements and especially the drumming. I'm convinced that the drummer is a robot or something. Go watch a youtube video or something. Gabe Serbian starts and stops on a dime and seems to flail wildly but plays in a very precise manner. The chances of any of you enjoying this are slim but try and see through the crazy screaming and try and get something more from these mathy 40 second long songs. Stay tuned.
