about

Raining Locusts is made up of two well-known (dare I say veterans?) creatives in the extreme metal world. Canadian Royden Turple led the black / gothic metal onslaughts of Scarlet Oath and The Beckoning. Texas-based recording mastermind and multi-instrumentalist Derek Corzine is the main man at the world-renowned Corzine Studio and an active member of Testimony of Apocalypse and Burial Extraction.

Most listeners will have a hard time accurately describing Raining Locusts's sound. Royden cites diverse influences like Lethargy, Atheist, Believer, Spiral Architect, Obscura, and early Cynic. Add to those a touch of black metal and you're heading down the right route to their particular brand of extreme music mayhem.

"Sophistical Monstrosity" is the first single off the upcoming EP from Raining Locusts. It is a great example of what you can be expecting from the band in the near future.

lyrics

Sophistical monstrosity
Deceivers at the fore
Malignant philosophies
The truth they do abhor

Cyclical Meandering
Ancient woes unearthed
Paradoxical maze
Of intoxicating mirth

Where is the Wise man?
The philosopher of this Age?

Definitive repression
The truth is redefined
Resulting in regression
While the faithful are maligned

Where is the Wise Man?
The philosopher of this age?
Anthropocentric prophet?
The self-inflated sage?

Man appointed heralds
Of a twisted paradigm
Infidelity enthroned
And hailed as divine

Apostasy of sophistical monstrosity

In Memoriam
by Crowned in Sorrow

supported by 6 fans who also own “Sophistical Monstrosity”

Out of the wreckage brought upon by dual personal tragedies comes an outstanding album that is sorrowful and victorious. Once you listen to this a few times, it’s hard to want to listen to anything else for a while. This is my front runner for metal album of 2021, and perhaps even my overall AOTY. Metal Marc
