Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Earth 2' is fundamentally responsible for establishing the drone metal genre, completely omitting drums and vocals in favor of massive, sustained guitar feedback. The album relies on incredibly heavy, repetitive low-frequency hums to construct a highly hypnotic, meditative, and dense instrumental monolith.
