Drone-metal pioneers Earth, whose debut album laid the foundations for seismic noise minimalism back in 1993, are returning to Prague after seven years 

“Oh, what if we take a Slayer-style riff and play it for 20 minutes at half speed?” With these words, the cult album Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Version was born. 73 transcendent minutes of distorted, glacial guitar riffs, a noise mutation of ambient music, and first and formost: the formative recording that ignited the Big Bang of the drone-metal universe. With their studio debut, released in February 1993 on Sub Pop, Earth distilled the very essence of metal minimalism and ventured into uncharted territory – a path later followed by bands like Sunn O))) and Boris.

After two more doom-drone albums and a subsequent hiatus of several years, the project resurfaced at the turn of the millennium with drummer Adrienne Davies and the immersive LP Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method. This album expanded Earth’s sonic palette with influences of gothic Americana, the repetitive melodicity of psych-rock, and the hazy atmosphere of a dark western. Riding the wave of Hex the following decade, Earth went on to sail thunderous, hypnotic sonic landscapes. In 2014 came another mileston with the dense, meditative album Primitive & Deadly​, followed three years later by a collaboration with industrial dub legend Kevin Martin, aka The Bug.

This year, Earth released a recording of their powerful live performance in London titled WEM Dominator (Live in London NW1, 2016), as well as a remix set of their debut album called Earth 2.23: Special Lower Frequency Mix. And at the very dawn of next year, they’re heading out on a European tour with a stop at MeetFactory, supported by Nataša Grujović & Steve Moore. Save the date: January 24, 2026.
