Locusts And Honey are a duo from the United Kingdom that plays a mixture of black, sludge, funeral doom metal, dark ambient, drone and noise and this is a review of their 2024 album "Teach Me To Live That I Dread The Grave As Little As My Bed" which was released by Hypraethral Records.
Dark ambient style drones and synths start off the album along with some clean playing a few seconds later before going into a heavier direction. Elements of sludge and funeral doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs and one of the tracks is also very long and epic in length.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams along with some noises also being added into certain sections of the recording as well as some of the tracks also being instrumentals and the whole album also sticks to a slower direction.
Locusts And Honey play a musical style that takes black, sludge, funeral doom metal, dark ambient, drone and noise and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover the bog bodies of Ireland and Denmark - people of the Iron Age who where sacrificially hanged and found extremely well preserved in peat.
In my opinion Locusts And Honey are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge, funeral doom metal, dark ambient, drone and noise and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Leathern Cord" and "Traitor To love". 8 out of 10.
