Earth: Primitive and Deadly (2xLP, Black Vinyl, Southern Lord 2014, Original Pressing)

Earth: Primitive and Deadly

Dylan Carlson's Earth invented drone doom. Primitive and Deadly (September 2014, Southern Lord Records) is their ninth studio album and one of their most powerful: a return to rawer, more song-based territory after years of more ambient work, with the slow, crushing weight of their earliest records brought back into focus. This is music that moves like tectonic plates, slow, inevitable, and immense.

The album features guest vocals from Mark Lanegan on "From the Zodiacal Light" and Rabia Shaheen Qazi (Rose Windows) on "Even Hell Has Its Heroes" — two of the most striking vocal performances on any Earth record. Recorded for Southern Lord and pressed on double black vinyl, this is the 2014 original pressing.
