The Locust is The Locust's first recording that relies heavily on keyboards and synthesizers, combined with their powerviolence style, influenced mainly by Crossed Out. This is the sound for which The Locust has since become known.

In 2004, the EP was remastered and re-issued on 3" CD and 7" vinyl, and included two bonus tracks.

Personnel
gollark: A lot of work went into making the heterogenous multiprocessing design work in phones.
gollark: Although synchronising it with all the other OoO stuff would likely be horrible.
gollark: I guess it might work as a shared unit in the 4-core groups, like their cache.
gollark: If they make all the cores share a single AVX-512 unit this would probably just cause it to be unusably slow.
gollark: Migrating processes between cores with different instruction sets has been used on a few phones and causes weird inexplicable bugs.
