Experimental metal label Southern Lord added some new music to their mp3 page this week, and there are some gems in there I know a few moggers will be thrilled to find. My favorite is the new Earth song "The Driver" from their forthcoming new album The Bees Made Honey in the Lions' Skull.Earth's productions have been non-stop this year - they released Hibernaculum on CD/DVD and vinyl in early ...

Hugely influential post-drone-rock collective Earth are back and touring the UK. The bands latest album The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull was released back in 2008 and told the "Biblical story of Samson, who tore apart a lion and when he returned, he noticed a swarm of bees and some honey on the lion's carcass" and finally, the album will be played across our little United Kingdom.

D.O.A. (1950) More noir than horror, but... it's a classic. And besides, we're doing some blog maintenance and I'm behind the 8-ball. "Small-town accountant Frank Bigelow goes to San Francisco for a week's fun prior to settling down with fiancée Paula. After a night on the town, he wakes up with more than just a hangover; doctors tell him he's been given a "luminous toxin" with no antidote and ..

... or maybe it's the fact that I'm incredibly fatigued.Regardless. Last night I saw one high-quality concert. The bill was rather ridiculous for someone like me who never thought he'd be able to see any of music he really likes.CM von Hausswolff played a set of super-low, super-loud undersea power drone, never noisy or forceful, but very subtle and DEEP... I was really impressed with him espec...

Laura Snapes witnesses Earth. A live experience so close and impending that it's left down to booming exhalations from the amplifiers to act as air conditioning for the night.

Ahh, this band, "Earth". I was in a very Melvins mood the other day and was yearning for something even drudgier sludgier and drone-ier? I thought of Sunn o))). I then thought: "Sunn... like The Sun. Sun and...EARTH!!!" I haven't listened to them for a very very very long time. To start, they have very very very long songs. Not just long, but sloooow. The drummer must have some discipline. Thai...

Dylan Carlson, mastermind of drone demigods Earth and hero to that weird guy in your Russian Civ class who wears a hooded cloak on chilly days, ain't afraid to pull a sacrilege or two for the sake of his art. Like his heroes Black Sabbath before him, Carlson loves sticking it to the Christian ascendancy, filling their nightmares with scores of Beelzebubs thrashing baby Jesus with skyscraper-siz...

In addition to promoting last year's album and split LP with exp...

[02-26-2009] The night's triple bill was as jangled as one can imagine. While Earth, Sir Richard Bishop, and James Blackshaw focused on sounds coaxed from guitar, the hands doing the work were from three completely different worlds. James Blackshaw's work is intricate and deliberate, transforming 12 strings into a symphonic work based around simplistic raga melodies. Richard Bishop is much more...
