Album Description
Available in:
"Primitive and Deadly" is the eighth studio album by American musical group Earth. It was released on September 2, 2014, through Southern Lord Records. The album, which features Mark Lanegan and Rabia Shaheen Qazi of Rose Windows as guest vocalists, is the first Earth album since Pentastar: In the Style of Demons (1996) to feature vocals. Other contributors include Brett Netson of Built to Spill and Jodie Cox of Narrows.
Upon its release, Primitive and Deadly received widespread acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 82, which indicates "universal acclaim", based on 15 reviews.
User Album Review
Even if the band no longer relies purely on atmosphere and country-droning, some of the songs still sound as if they had been yanked from one of their previous albums, such as Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I & II or The Bees Made Honey in the Lion’s Skull, and fused with metal riffage and vocals. But it’s when you hear “Even Hell Has Its Heroes” and its never-ending bluesy solo that you actually become appreciative of how unshackled and free from any preconceptions Earth are. While listening to the closing and stand-out track “Rooks Across the Gates,” with its combination of vocal passages and instrumental diversity, the unshakable need for another spin takes root in your mind. Worth noting is that the vinyl version contains a bonus song, “Badgers Bane,” which showcases the group in a more spartan, almost-pure-drone version. A good song that might have been better with vocals.
Earth‘s music has always been volatile, relying more on moods and concepts rather than specific sounds. Whatever the style of music they end up playing, the soul and essence of the band remain unmistakable. This album is no different, with the rediscovered heaviness and the added vocals improving them as a whole. Existing fans will surely love this record, everyone else should sample it and let themselves be surprised.
