2014 Earth Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method 2 LP Vinyl 2005 Return Album Repress Limited Edition. Southern Lord UPC 808720004816 BRAND NEW SEALED.
With renewed vigor and new direction Earth returned in 2005 with their first studio album in 9 years. With each album released, Earth progresses and diversifies their sound, pushing all boundaries of preconceived perceptions. Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method is absolutely no exception. Once again Earth created an intensely powerful album that defies the normal restrictions of a definable genre.
The monolithic darkness of previous releases such as Earth2 or Pentastar (In the Style of Demons) is still very apparent however it has now been channeled into a different direction. It is a decided shift away from an overly saturated and distorted guitar sound, and explores some of the earlier forms of modifying pure guitar tones, using compression, echo, tremelo, and reverb. It is a specifically 'American' style ("Black Americana")?
The playing on this album is determined and bursting with reborn confidence. The opening track: "Mirage/Land of Some Other Order" effectively establishes a decided country/western aura throughout the album with "relaxed" tones that are reminiscent of a immense desert landscape at dusk. It is a sound that injects the influence of country guitarists/songwriters such as: Duane Eddy, Merle Haggard, Roy Buchanan and fuses it with the vibe of epic visionary composer: Ennio Morricone. Beautifully darkened, huge chords that resonate very slowly with every single note played with passionate conviction.
"Left In The Desert" and "Tethered To The Pole Star" contain a similar atmosphere to many of these songs as it invokes a feeling of slight hope after sentiments of despair. Besides the Western emanations, Hex also incorporates moody, anthemic rock and blues within the song structures. "Raiford (The Felon Wind)" and "A Inquest Concerning Teeth" reveal influences such as: Neil Young (especially the Dead Man soundtrack), and Billy Gibbons.
As in the past where Earth took the heaviness of Black Sabbath, Melvins etc. and made it even slower and more mammoth, with Hex; Or Printing In The Infernal Method they incorporated these new influences into a innovative sound all their own. It's a sound that is bold, vital and as essential as anything they have ever done in the past.
