Earth is an influential American drone metal band formed in 1989. Known for their slow, heavy soundscapes and minimalist approach to music, Earth has been a driving force in the development of the genre. Led by guitarist Dylan Carlson, the band's music is characterized by its atmospheric and meditative qualities. With a discography spanning over three decades, Earth continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences with their unique sonic landscapes.

Throughout their career, Earth has collaborated with various artists from different genres, including Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. Their groundbreaking album "Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Version" is widely regarded as one of the most important releases in drone metal history.

With their distinct sound and innovative approach to music, Earth has garnered a dedicated fan base worldwide. Their live performances are known for creating an immersive experience that transports listeners into another realm. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their music, exploring Earth's discography is sure to be a captivating journey through the depths of sound.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

The new remix set,&nbsp;Earth 2.23: Special Lower Frequency Mix, makes this clearer than ever. The Bug has taken a bit of “Seven Angels” and laced it with feedback and big bass, allowing grime luminary Flowdan to climb atop it with his dark, staccato visions. Responsible for many transformational records himself, Justin K. Broadrick of Jesu and Godflesh crawls inside “Teeth” to lash at it with punishing drum machines and sordid layers of new distortion, building it into some brokedown palace of industrial mayhem. Loop’s Robert Hampson makes good on the premise of ambient metal with his 30-minute hypnotic beauty, while longtime Earth cohort and longtime Built to Spill multi-instrumentalist Brett Netson seems to float the sound through a benighted graveyard on his clever “Teeth” revamp.&nbsp;
