Earth
"The minimalist drone-riff masters pare away excess and focus on the seismic repetition that made their best work so resonant, creating a new peak in their long discography." - Pitchfork (Album Review, 7.8)
"...a vast, heavy, elementally satisfying slow-trudge riff-monster. Part of the appeal with Earth is that you never know when they’re going to launch into free-jazz freakouts or Ennio Morricone soundscapes. But there’s still something satisfying about them doing basic stick–to–your–ribs doom metal with this kind of majestic mastery." – Stereogum
“Dylan Carlson is now rightly recognised as something of a visionary, shining a light on the darkest corners. As is said of jazz, Earth’s art lies in that which they omit, and on their ninth album Carlson and percussionist Adrienne Davies deliver 10 songs that are the apotheosis of their spartan sound.” – MOJO, Review [4/5]
“Drummer and percussionist Adrienne Davies again lays down a solid foundation for Carlson’s slow-motion riffage on instrumentals that eschew the more ornate sensibility of recent efforts in favour of a leaner, meaner kind of swagger.” – Uncut, Review [7/10]
"has a pretty serious Black-Sabbath-meets-Sleep vibe to it" – Metal Injection
"Both tracks from the new record show the band's direction toward an even rawer, more primitive and more honest sound, continuing Earth's monolithic legacy as a worthy successor." – Destroy/Exist
"...it’s classic Dylan Carlson: instrumental stoner metal, with lots of Morricone-inspired guitar noodling, that moves with the force and fury of a collapsing glacier." – Guitar.com
"…packed with Earth's thematically meditative, sonically immense hallmarks.” – Lambgoat
“[It] offers more of the Black Sabbath-inspired doom and gloom for which the band has become known with a simmering, boiling soundscape, and a sweet release of pent up energy through heavy and corrosive riffs in the song’s closing moments.” – Metal Sucks
"With a scaled back sound and a refined perspective that can only come with the clear-eyed confidence of having existed for one-third of a century, the Dylan Carlson-led outfit have announced their new album..." – Tiny Mix Tapes
