Description:

LP – Limited Deluxe edition Dark Star effect vinyl with matte and spot UV sleeve, DL card. Unreleased live recording taken from their show at Londons KOKO in 2016. Seattle drone-rock titans Earth release their latest live document, WEM Dominator (Live in London NW1, 2016), an unrelenting display of the bands seismic force, recorded during their performance at Londons KOKO in 2016. Sharing the bill with legendary heavyweights Neurosis, Earth delivered a set of hypnotic intensity, crushing volume, and towering, glacial beauty. For over three decades, Dylan Carlson and his ever-evolving ensemble have been crafting tectonic soundscapes that defy convention, forging a path between meditative drone and colossal doom-laden riffs. WEM Dominator is an album of mesmeric modal patterns, its a recording that captures the trios intricate, slowly evolving euphoria in a period when their experimentation swerved through endless possibilities. From the creeping grandeur of The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull to the ominous crawl of Even Hell Has Its Heroes, the album presents Earth at their most immersive and powerful. This record reasserts Earths mastery of atmosphere and weight, where every note feels tectonic, and silence itself becomes an instrument of crushing tension. It is a hypnotic, stripped down sonic symphony embracing influences as wide ranging as the Velvet Underground, Terry Riley and La Monte Young, a visceral slow-motion reading of the original sound that inspired Sun O))) and the generation that followed. The lineup of this performance was Dylan Carson (guitar), Jodie Cox (baritone guitar) and Adrienne Davis (drums), it was recorded live at KOKO, London on November 7th 2016 and is mixed and mastered by Mell Dettmer at Studio Soli in Seattle. Dylan Carlson is a paragon of guitar control Pitchfork. \”Mixing serenity and accuracy into a force that both controls and propels\” Pitchfork. \”With guitars ramped up to the nth degree, but tuned to gut-wrenchingly low frequencies, Earth carved out a veritable canyon of pure molten drone, one which would have a profound influence on modern metal music.\” The Quietus Tracklist: Side AA1.
