Am I right in thinking this is in locrian?

Very cool :) I like what you did with the instrumentation, just a guitar and a synth or something, right? Fits the mood very nicely.
Anyway, it's definitely Phrygian although it sounds like you might have borrowed a chord from somewhere at one point, but I'm to lazy to figure it out by ear.
Either way it all flows nicely, keep up the good work :)

I don't know how green you are on modes, but I enjoyed this video when I first started out:

Memorizing the standard modes aren't as hard as one might think. Most of them are just basically major or minor scales with one altered scale degree.
>1st mode:
Ionian - major
>2nd mode:
Dorian - minor with a major 6th
>3rd mode:
Phrygian - minor with a minor 2nd
>4th mode:
Lydian - major with augmented 4th
>5th mode:
Mixolydian - major with minor 7th
>6th mode:
Aeolian - minor
>7th mode:
Locrian - basically a Phrygian scale with a diminished 5th. So that means that everything but the 4th is lowered in relation to the major scale (1, b2, b3, 4, b5, b6, b7)

Then you have the harmonic and melodic minor scales which have their own exotic sounding modes.
