LOCISTELLAR - Leading Era - Black Vinyl LP
A hidden gem!
Leading Era is the debut EP from Locistellar, a Seattle-based band formed by musicians with roots in some of metal’s most influential acts. Featuring Didier Almouzni (formerly of Dragonforce and Razor of Occam), Alexandre Lenormand (Loudblast), Eric Snyder (Second Coming, The Crying Spell), and vocalist Lance Neatherlin, Locistellar blends their collective experience into a unique sound that defies easy categorization.
The EP explores a rich palette of subgenres, combining elements of blackened death metal, post-metal atmospherics, and melodic hard rock. With its dark, layered intensity, Leading Era bridges the raw aggression of extreme metal with soaring, melodic moments and precise, hard-hitting rhythms.
This record captures the band’s early exploration of their identity—an ambitious and genre-bending approach that serves as both a statement of intent and a glimpse of their future evolution.
