classic earth album (1992) now released on double vinyl. reissue of the highly influential second album from sludge rock duo earth. for 'earth 2', subtitled special low frequency version, dylan carlson and dave harwell stripped metal down to its bare bones - no vocals, no drums just gutwrenching electric guitar and bass layered on top of one another. consisting of three long instrumentals edited together as one long monster slam of feedback and howling, 'earth 2' dedicates itself to the proposition that there's no such thing as too loud, trudging, or doom-laden. the effect of the harmonies in each riff clashing creates the illusion of sounds that were not actually recorded making the music shift from metal into the realm of psychoacoustic drones. this is essential for fans of sunn o))) (probably their single biggest influence), boris and drone pioneers tony conrad and la monte young. highly recommended!
