Unhurried tempos set by dry-as-bone drums, haunting cello twisting through each turn, tastefully applied bass lines filling out the low end of the scale….this is an original piece of art it’s a laudable work which will provide many listens, lending new layers with every spin. With all the personal turmoil Carlson’s been through, while listening to the easily digestible last track, ‘The Rakehell’, one can almost hear a man at peace. As much as Earth albums have always been “his”, this one comes from the core of a travelled man’s being. The compositions ebb and flow like gentle tides.Īrtfully-lain beats lurk in the background as the wonderfully simple – but textural – guitar styling of Dylan Carlson fleshes out the tracks. The Angel of Darkness Wont leave behind The hunt goes on deep in the night Time to pray down on your knees You cant hide from me Eternal light Until my last breath I will fight Angel of Darkness Angel of Darkness The world is in your hand But I will fight until the end Angel of Darkness Angel of Darkness Dont follow your command But I will. Earth’s II is beautifully engineered – an honest recording reliant on acoustic smarts, judicious tonal scrutiny, microphone placement, and all that makes any production enthusiast or layman drool. Stream songs including 'Ist This What You Told Us', 'Psychonaut' and more. The tactically-withheld part deux to 2011’s Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I, has revealed itself to be a worthy companion piece worth the wait – not just a clever way to sell more super duper sweetly packaged vinyl units. Listen to Angel of Darkness by Der Blutharsch and the Infinite Church of the Leading Hand & Skullflower on Apple Music. Track listing No.These drone dudes and dudettes have outdone themselves. Also to reflect back to Jefferson Airplane's style, Teresa Williams recorded harmony vocals similar to Grace Slick's on several tracks. For the new album, Kaukonen decided to take the approach he used with Jefferson Airplane, letting others work out the charts for the rhythm section and concentrating on the lead guitar lines. The band used Levon Helm's studio where Kaukonen had recorded his previous solo album, River of Time. Kaukonen started by writing one song, but with deadlines set and being locked in to studio time with the band, he collaborated and ended up writing six songs for the album. Īfter years of releasing live albums, Kaukonen felt it was time to record a new electric studio album with the band when his current label for his solo work, Red House Records, was interested. Each side without the etching has four songs. The album was released on CD and on iTunes Apand was released on vinyl in May.
