Hailing from Kent’s underground heavy scene, Locusts are carving out their own lane with raw aggression, crushing riffs, and zero compromise. Blending hardcore intensity with metallic chaos, the band’s sound is built on volume, energy, and riffs that hit hard both on record and even harder live.
Here’s a quick-fire Q&A with Locusts covering song writing, live favourites, recording chaos, and the tracks that define their relentless approach to heavy music — from Lapsus Ab Inferno standouts to unreleased live weapons already destroying crowds.
