I am not the biggest fan of Earth's back catalogue, but for some reason their latest votive offering of epic desert doom is quite spectacular. Taking off where "Hex: Printing In The Infernal Method" and "Hibernaculum" left them, Earth's latest album is a sonic baptism in a lake of cobalt-tinged riffs, a funeral procession of dirgy rhythms, and a McCarthy-esque fable of haunting and insightful melodies all wrapped into one. Every measure, every aching note, seems to be crawling towards some occult dusk, and the spaces between the notes seem to be suffused in an ethereal glow. I am highly impressed. Something to put on when the lugubrious days of winter become too overwhelming.
