Whoops I am a tad late on this, but we dropped the EARTHLING debut earlier this month and it’s been killing heads everywhere.  The band just got back from a little trip Chicago and are prepping themselves for some more time out on the road in a couple months.  They also have an upfront profile piece in the June issue of Decibel Magazine, go pick up a copy.

The limited version still has a few copies available in our web-store and both the CD and LP are available from our distributors Revolver USA / Midhaven Mailorder and Ebullition.

Here are some of the things people have said.

“Earthling shifts between various speeds of thrash… Those changes in direction and speed allow Earthling to push each part of the song decisively into the red, so that, just when the whole thing starts to wobble, they transition and regain their footing. The instability breeds the same sort of excitement as a mosh pit, where the risk of wiping out only increases the thrill of serving as a standing pinball.” – Pitchfork

 

“…a ripping blend of crust and proto-black metal riffs that boil from a vast melting pot of extremity; their truly diverse extreme sound also brings with it the incessant need to thrash.” – Terrorizer

 

“…Earthling’s first full length album gallops at break-neck speed through a crusty, blackened, desolate musical landscape. 4/5” – About.com

 

“Earthling is quite original. They basically play thrash metal but their take on it is completely different compared to the sound of most thrash metal bands you hear these days. The sound is heavier and contains numerous black and heavy metal influences.” – Lords of Metal

 

“…like bong ripping yourself into a black hole where the other side is the embodiment of Mob Rules era Sabbath with the addition of some major Mega Man shred duals.” – Mxdwn

 

“…a potent blend of Southern riffs and black metal atmospheres, casting off much of that genre’s pretentious silliness in favor of an earthier pummel.” – The Aquarian Weekly

 

“The urgent speed that the band goes at for the most part easily reminds one of the early days of Teutonic thrash, and bands such as Kreator and Destruction quickly come to mind with the extremity that is present on the record.” – Heavy Metal Tribune

We also updated the tour section.  Bands on tour include Inter Arma, Windhand, Humungus, Set and Setting, as well as random gigs from a few others.  Cheers!
