Album Notes & Community Reviews
On 'Pentastar: In the Style of Demons', Dylan Carlson guides Earth away from pure, crushing drone metal toward a more accessible, riff-driven stoner rock sound. The album remains incredibly heavy and hypnotic, heavily utilizing repetitive, minimalistic fuzz to construct a deeply psychedelic desert atmosphere.
