Earth Premieres NEW Song From 'Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II'!

Following the release of Earth's praised 'Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I' - released by Southern Lord in February 2011 - the public's first chance to hear a number from the 2nd installment of the series has arrived.

While conceived in the same sessions as the first installment, recorded by Stuart Hallerman at Avast and mastered by Mell Detmer, 'Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II' invokes even more improvisational and unrestrained energy than its predecessor. Traces of this progression are evident in the track "His Teeth Did Brightly Shine" -- the second song from the upcoming album -- as premiered worldwide today by Spin Magazine at this location.

'Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light' will be released by Southern Lord in North America on February 14th via CD, 2xLP and digital download.

Experimental Metallers EARTH Reveal NEW Album Details!

Seattle's experimental musical geniuses Earth, are constantly looking for ways to develop their craft. It has just been announced, that the second half of Earth's " of Darkness, Demons of Light" is being prepared for release on CD, LP and digital download formats. The album will be released via Southern Lord Records in North America this February 14th.

Recorded in the same two week session as 2011's lauded "Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I" by Stuart Hallerman at Avast and mastered by Mell Detmer, "Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II" carries on in the freely and folkloric vein of the last release and invokes even more improvisational and unrestrained energy than its predecessor.

"Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light II" is striking in many ways, not least in the wildly improvised nature of this particular recording. The songs "Sigil Of Brass" and "The Corascene Dog" perfectly emphasize how the interplay between the foursome has evolved even further since the first installment. Meanwhile, the track "His Teeth Did Brightly Shine" veers further into an entirely other direction, recalling sounds of the great British Acid Folk generation. This new material brings forth some highly original and deeply mesmerizing tones throughout, at times more hopeful and less dark and death oriented than previous work. "Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light II" is ultimately a completely unanticipated direction for Earth, and a very welcome one at that.

The line-up again consists of Adrienne Davies on drums and percussion (on this release there is more percussion of all sorts), Lori Goldston (Nirvana, David Byrne, Black Cat Orchestra, Laura Veirs) returns on cello, and Karl Blau (K Records, Laura Veirs, Microphones) plays bass. This also marks the first time the band on the record has toured outside of the US West Coast in preparation for the album. As with the first part, it again has truly amazing artwork by Stacey Rozich.
