EARTH Announce U.S. Tour; Band To Headline Mexico's Aural Fe

Seattle Washington, doomsters EARTH shall kick off a summmer U.S. tour in June and perhaps an appearance at the ATP FEST in October of 2011.
FROM EARSPLIT PR: Following the recent release of their latest mammoth full-length, Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light 1, we're proud to announce EARTH's first confirmed American tour installment in support of the album.



Set to take place this June, EARTH will tour through the Midwest and Northeast regions of America showcasing material from the new album and their new touring lineup to a dozen cities, with support from Washington state-mate, soloist Ô Paon for the entire trek.



This newly announced string of North American dates will follow EARTH's massive European tour with Sabbath Assembly which engulfs the entire months of April and May for the band.





And before any of the full tour activities even get underway, EARTH have also been confirmed alongside the Melvins to headline Aural Fest, a massive music celebration which takes place during the country's Festival de Mexico!



Later this Summer, EARTH are also confirmed to appear at I'll Be Your Mirror, a festival curated by Portishead & ATP America, taking place in Asbury Park, New Jersey, alongside countless other acts.

Released on February 22nd via Southern Lord Recordings, Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light 1 represents yet another new chapter in the EARTH lineage, as the band continues to expand their trademark slow-morphing drone a bit beyond the realms they've explored on their last handful of releases and recent years of touring, and continuing to reproduce continually inspiring music as they have with every recording to date.





"...unlike most heavy-music acts it changed over time as human beings actually do. Its music became lighter and clearer and wiser; it started having more to do with Indian music and La Monte Young and Miles Davis’s 'In a Silent Way.'” - The New York Times



"As Earth developed its heavy instrumental vision in the past six years, subtle deviation has been crucial to the band's renewal. Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1 is the latest installment in that trajectory, adding a cello, desert blues and British folk-rock motifs to Earth's slow-moving Americana." - NPR



"While Angels of Darkness... is Earth's cleanest record, it is perhaps their most focused, as well as one of their darkest." - Chronicles Of Chaos



"...finds the band as unwilling as ever to settle creatively, toying with titular contradiction, fostering a previously-unheard richness of tone and taking their rightful place at the head of their genre." - The Obelisk
