Olympia, Washington, USA (1990 – present)
There are several artists using the name “Earth”.
1) The most well-known Earth is an american drone doom band formed in 1990 in Olympia, Washington, USA by Dylan Carlson, Slim Moon, and Greg Babior. They are pioneers in the minimalistic and repetitive form of doom metal known as drone doom. The band at some point moved to Seattle where Carlson forged a strong friendship with grunge music icon Kurt Cobain, who sang lead vocals for the song
Divine and Bright on the live album Sunn Amps and Smashed Guitars. Cobain also appeared as a “specialist” on Earth’s 1990 debut release Extra-Capsular Extraction, and sang backing vocals on A Bureaucratic Desire for Revenge Part 2. Joe Preston, who played bass briefly with the Melvins, also appears on this 3 song CD.
Dylan Carlson has been the driving force of the band and still remains the core of an everchanging line-up. As of the release of their most recent album (entitled The Bees Made Honey In The Lion’s Skull), Earth consists of Dylan Carlson (guitars/amplifiers), Adrienne Davis (drums/percussion), Steve Moore (acoustic and electric pianos/wurlitzer) and Don McGreevy (acoustic/electric bass). Bill Frisell appeared as a guest guitarist on three songs.
Earth’s official website is www.thronesanddominions.com
2) Earth was also an australian death metal band from Melbourne. They are rarely active as they don’t play live, except on occasion as part of international tours. They were well known in the Melbourne Metal scene and played many times at Metal For The Brain (a long-running annual Australian Heavy Metal festival held in Canberra, which ended its run in 2006).

I don't think anybody should tag this. But if you do, tag it "Earth".

I have no idea what to tag this band as. Let's face it guys, they are rarely ever drone. I wouldn't consider them metal either (not even their old stuff).

I dislike earth, but this thread is just embarrassing. You people are a bunch of fucking goofs who have no clue about anything involving music. It's clear you do not understand it- and YES, that is a valid statement. Being normal is also no reason to hate it. If you can't handle listening to something to goes against your beliefs, you are obviously not strong in your belief system and are insecure. I cannot believe how stupid most of the people in this thread are. The whole you can't amp feedback to it argument is pathetic. All the reasoning supplied here is a joke. Enough being redundant, I'm out of here and I don't think I'll ever come back for fear of stupidity blowing my mind even more and leaving me in a coma. On another note: I bet most of you assholes probably worship Dylan Carlson. I can tell just by looking at the way you talk.

I saw The Limits of Control recently, and I have to say, it was a good movie. It seemed to me like a big drone song, as in, with small elements repeating and changing over time, until the end, but overall having a monotonous, yet entrancing atmosphere (due mostly to the great photography work and obviously, the soundtrack). It's not for everyone though, I'm used to movies like those but I don't think everyone would enjoy it due to its slow pace and rather sparse dialogs, but it's all good. Boris had more presence in the movie than Earth and Sunn O))) though.

well, everyone should just watch that film.

I don't think Hex sounds like it, though. Both rely heavily on reverb-drenched guitars and sound like they would be good soundtracks to Westerns, but I think the drums are an incredibly important part of Hex, and really differentiates it from Dead Man. I like Hex a lot more than Dead Man because I find it far more atmospheric, but maybe my perception would be different if I'd seen the film.
