boomkat southern lord
The 5th official studio album and triumphant return of Earth! With each album released EARTH progresses and diversifies their sound, pushing all boundaries of preconception. With "Hex", EARTH has created a intensely powerful album that defies the normal restrictions of a particular genre. The monolithic darkness of previous releases such as "EARTH2" and "Pentastar (In the style of Demons)" remains apparent yet is now channeled into a different direction. This new direction is bold, determined and as essential as anything they have ever done in the past. Beautifully packaged with a 20 page booklet painstakingly designed by Stephen O' Malley. -- southernlord website

i don't have this cd yet, but as a big earth fan, i'll definitely be picking it up soon. these samples are so different from what i expected! the samples are really clean, minimal, ambient. not necessarily characteristics i would associate with earth at all.

"dronecore / death metal scene"

yeah earth are rowdy. they have this certain very unique guitar tone.. i can't be much more than a certain kind of EQ but it's so EARTH and i love it.. it feels like its inside your head.. like the tone is the constant and they're actually playing the silences instead of the notes

earth is one of my favorite names for a band ever, honestly. i don't know why anyone wouldn't like it. if i'm not mistaken, i think black sabbath was called earth at one point too...
on the other hand, i like the album title, especially because it fits in with their other album titles and it's kind of their style, but i can see why someone wouldn't like it as well...

this album is really, really awesome. does not disappoint.
it is really a departure from everything else earth has done. i hope jarmusch sets his next surreal western to this album. :)

Yeah, it reminds me of the Dead Man soundtrack quite a bit. Also makes me think of Neu! for some reason. ANyway this album is great - I like it a lot. yes

i love it, although it sounds a bit more cinematic to their other releases.
btw, i wanted to write a review on this but editor said not many people would vote for it in the album of the year competition so we decided to go with something else and we'll do a review on this next year instead..people have no fcuking taste.

Apperently Dylan Carlson is a total junkie, and that's why the new material isn't as good as the early 90's stuff.

I know this is from a record company website or something but like
"pushing all boundaries of preconception."
why would pushing a boundary of preconception be attractive?
perception. PERCEPTION. :(
