Bassist and singer Justin Pearson lays out his reasons for the band's onstage assault of vomit, bug costumes and jaw-dropping conceptual music simply in the band's bio. "I just want to change the way people look at music, or maybe just destroy it in general. Things are so normal, safe, 4/4 timing, blah," he says. "Sometimes it makes me want to throw up." Clearly, the Locust is making the thrash crowd reconsider the shape, the size and the putrid smell of rebellion.
