EARTH'S NEW ALBUM IS OUT TODAY, LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING HERE

Following months of buildup to the release of the Seattle outfit's newest works, this week, Primitive And Deadly, the immense tenth album from EARTH, is officially available to the public worldwide. Additionally, the band have released American tour dates which are listed after the jump.

Listen to 'Primitive And Deadly'


Primitive And Deadly was recorded at Rancho de la Luna in Joshua Tree, California with each session preceded by hours of meditation in the vast desert, after which it was further explored, built upon and finalized by longtime collaborator Randall Dunn (Sunn O))), Wolves In The Throne Room, Eagle Twin) at Avast back in Seattle. With some of the most massive and straightforward rock movements in the band's lineage and featuring the first vocal contributions since their seminal 1996 Pentastar album, the slow-motion, organic dirges of founding guitarist Dylan Carlson and amazingly restrained percussion of his longtime cohort Adrienne Davies are here joined by bassist Bill Herzog (Sunn O))), Joel RL Phelps, Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter), with additional guitar contributions from Brett Netson (Built To Spill, Caustic Resin) and Jodie Cox (Narrows). Rabia Shaheen Qazi of Rose Windows lends her angelic voice to the "From The Zodiacal Light," "Rooks Across The Gate" and "There's a Serpent Coming" feature evocative vocal contributions from Mark Lanegan previously of Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age, Mad Season and more.
