Ghosts VI: Locusts, the latest offering from Nine Inch Nails, is a sonic masterpiece that delves into the darkest corners of the human experience. Released on 27 March 2020 via The Null Corporation, this industrial rock opus is a testament to the band's unwavering ability to craft music that is both haunting and mesmerising.
Clocking in at 1 hour and 23 minutes, Ghosts VI: Locusts is a sprawling, genre-bending epic that seamlessly blends elements of industrial, industrial metal, electronic rock, alternative metal, and nu metal to create a soundscape that is at once unsettling and captivating. From the ominous opening notes of 'The Cursed Clock' to the closing strains of 'Almost Dawn', the album takes the listener on a journey through a world of unease and tension, with tracks like 'Run Like Hell' and 'Trust Fades' showcasing the band's ability to craft infectious, high-energy rockers.
Throughout the album, Nine Inch Nails' signature sound is on full display, with brooding synths, pounding drums, and distorted guitars combining to create a sense of sonic unease that is both unnerving and exhilarating. With Ghosts VI: Locusts, Nine Inch Nails have once again pushed the boundaries of what is possible in modern music, creating an album that is as much a reflection of our troubled times as it is a work of art that will continue to resonate with listeners for years to come.
