To follow up the minimalist, western soundscapes of 2012's Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II, Dylan Carlson and co. opt to re-introduced the crunch of their early years with Primitive and Deadly. The signature riffing styles return in a fuzzier, heavier form and manage to neatly intertwine with rock-oriented, psychedelic elements that haven't been heard since 1996's Pentastar: In the Style of Demons. Primitive and Deadly features another 90s-era Earth throwback -- vocals. Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees fame offers his voice and lyrics to great effect on the tracks There is a Serpent Coming and Rooks Across the Gates, while Rose Windows frontwoman Rabia Shaheen Qazi howls over the drug-induced riffing of From The Zodiacal Light. Ambitious, hypnotic and dense, Primitive and Deadly marries the parched blues rock of Hex with Pentastar's doom without neglecting the subtlety, tempo and melodicism of the band's latest folk-tinged outings. The album is massive in sound and scope. It stands as yet another triumph for the masters of drone.

Earth is considered one of the premier drone metal bands in existence, and with releases like Earth 2, it's easy to see why. While their early work was mainly droning with little percussion and no vocals, on Primitive And Deadly they change this. Cleaner sounding production, airy vocals and slow, methodical drumming combine with the droning riffage that Earth is known for to fantastic effect here. "Torn By The Fox Of The Crescent Moon" and "Even Hell Has Its Heroes" are two instrumental tracks that show a nice psychedelic rock influence. "From The Zodiacal Light" and "Rooks Across The Gate" show the vocal styling of Earth to be an excellent fit with the instrumentals established, and are as ethereal as they are heavy. Altogether, Earth has another excellent release under their belt, and prove that they certainly still have it.

It does indeed sound like the cover art. A primitive and deadly slab of sludgey metal with monolithic riffs.

"bae's line"
Urban Dictionary definition of bae: bae is a Danish word for poop.
Example: "I just made a bae"
Oh, and fun fact: Dylan Carlson from this band was the one who gave Kurt Cobain the shotgun
he used to kill himself

thanks BMDrummer for introducing me to another great band that I never would have heard of if not for your soundoff.

Heavier and dronier than both Angels albums, Primitive and Deadly nevertheless retains that chill stoner atmosphere - and the inherent repetition that makes and breaks this band.

It took Earth 9 years to sober up from their acid trip during the recording sessions of Hex, but it looks like they were finally able to write some new music.

I don't get it. It's boring. Literally no build. And I like drone, stoner, doom, post-rock, grunge, whatever. But this album is pathetic.

Droney ambient doom isn't really a genre that I'm that interested in, but I did find Primitive and Deadly to be pretty decent.
