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)

Earth's biggest sabbathy rock out. An excellent album on Sub Pop from all the way back in 1996 - a Rough Trade Favourite !!!
