about

Red Lokust is back with their new album, Hope is the Last Refuge of the Dying! In the time since their last outing, the boys have played all around the country performing tracks from this record. After amazing performances at the Mechanismus Festival (Seattle), Dark Side of the Con (New Jersey) as well as label showcases in Madison, Brooklyn, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Washington DC and Philadelphia, the boys are ready to unleash their 3rd and most polished album yet! Dealing with themes of loss, cancer survival, war, infidelity and a doomed future, "Hope is" takes a giant step up in production and songwriting. Also included is an explosive cover of Dramarama's "Anything, Anything". However, that doesn't mean that the dance floor is forgotten. Tracks like "Sunfall Down", "The Fourth Turning", "The Four Winds" and "No War" will deliver everything fans have been waiting for. So, strap in and prepare for the swarm. The new Red Lokust album is coming!!

Red Lokust Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

In 2015, Lee Lauer of Aslan Faction approached Jim Semonik (Electronic Saviors/Rein[Forced]) at a KMFDM show. Jim's band, Rein[Forced], was opening the gig. They became fast friends and share a mutual love of industrial music. Lee approached Jim about working on a project and thus Red Lokust was born. ... more

Last Station
by Leaether Strip

supported by 7 fans who also own “Hope is the Last Refuge of the Dying”

My first Strip album was 1997's 'Self-Inflicted' when it was released, yes I am an old-school 90's. To this date is still one of my favorite albums of that genre. Checking up I saw this Bandcamp page which showed the liner-notes for Last Station, and having kept loose tabs on Claus' life my heart sank to the very bottom. I'm so very sorry. I purchased the physical CD and it's what one can expect of this artist, top-tier, top-notch musicality, musicianship, the very best, 10/10. Bpomp
