Earth - A Plague of Angels (live)



Earth (band):

Earth is an American drone band based in Seattle, Washington. Although they have played various styles of music, they are best known as pioneers of a minimalistic, long, and repetitive form of heavy music known as drone doom. The band's early albums could be seen as a variation of the experimental doom-influenced metal of The Melvins. Earth's sound, however, currently has little to do with metal.

Dylan Carlson founded the band in 1990 along with Slim Moon and Greg Babior, taking the title "Earth" from Black Sabbath's original name. Carlson has remained the core of the band's line-up throughout its changes. Outside of the underground music world, Carlson is perhaps best known for having been a friend of grunge music icon Kurt Cobain, as well as the person who purchased the gun that Cobain later used to commit suicide

This causes a not entirely comfortable sympathetic vibration in my abdomen. I think if I listened to much of this I'd be neatly folding my clothes on the beach and walking into the water.

Then DO NOT watch the Spoilsbury Toast Boy videos.
