‘Locust Abortion Technician’ stands as the third full-length album from the iconic Butthole Surfers, originally released in March 1987. This album is a wild ride through the depths of psychedelic rock, often cited as the band’s finest work. It takes the experimental sounds of their previous album, ‘Rembrandt Pussyhorse,’ to new heights while embracing gritty, raw elements.
The album flows through a myriad of styles, starting with heavy Sabbath-inspired riffs in ‘Sweat Loaf’ and transitioning into grunge-infused noise rock and even whimsical folk-inspired tracks, creating a chaotic yet masterful auditory experience. For fans and newcomers alike, this remastered version ensures that no detail is lost from the original.
