HEATHENSKULLS PRESENT
HEATHEN SKULLS PRESENT
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AUSTRALIA!
Heathen Skulls are proud to present Seattle drone doom outfit EARTH in their
very first performances on our shores this September.
Earth formed in 1990 and led by guitarist Dylan Carlson. Mostly instrumental,
their early work grew out of the Seattle area grunge scene and is recognized as
pioneering the genre of drone doom an experimental offshoot of doom metal,
characterised by droning, minimalist, lengthy and repetitive structures.
Their early albums could be seen as a variation of the experimental doom-influenced
metal of The Melvins. They now feature a markedly different sound,
slow-paced and lengthy featuring strong elements of country music and jazz and the
addition of a drummer.
Released earlier this year, Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light II is
ultimately a completely unanticipated direction for Earth, and a very welcome
one at that. Well respected by their musical peers, Earth were invited by
Portishead to be apart of their curated ATP festival in 2011 and were subsequently asked
to perform at ATP 2012, curated by Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel).
Earth are heartfelt, haunting and deliver slow moving music that stretches into other
worlds.
Dont miss your chance to see them in their first Australian tour this September.
Special guests to be announced.
