Angels of Darkness Demons of Light 2

*Recorded in the same two week session as AODDOL I by Stuart ?Hallerman at Avast and mastered by Mell Detmer, Earthís ?Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II carries on in the freely ?improvised, folkloric vein of the title track from their last ?release. Tape was rolled and spontaneous composition occurred.

*Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II is striking in many ways, not least, in the wildly improvised nature of this particular ?recording. Earthís songs, Sigil of Brass and The Corascene Dog, perfectly emphasise how the interplay between the foursome ?becomes even more accomplished as the recording evolves, a ?testament to the dynamism of this particular line up. Meanwhile, the track, His Teeth Did Brightly Shine, veers further into an entirely other direction, recalling sounds of the great ?British Acid Folk generation. This new Earth material brings forth some highly original and deeply mesmerising tones throughout, at times more hopeful and less dark and death ?oriented than previous work.

 *Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II is ultimately a new, ?completely unanticipated direction for Earth, and a very ?welcome one at that.

*Limited Edition 2LP on (Deep)  Purple Vinyl. 1000 only. Etched on one side.Non-Returnable.

*The Earth line-up, again, consists of Dylan R. Carlson on ?guitar and devices (including bass on the track, The Rakehell), Adrienne Davies on drums and percussion (on this release, there is more percussion of all sorts), Lori Goldston (Nirvana, ?David Byrne, Black Cat Orchestra, Laura Veirs) who  played on the infamous ?Nirvana album adds a beautiful, haunting element to the proceedings on cello , and Karl Blau (K Records, ?Laura Veirs, Microphones) plays bass. As with the first part, it again has truly amazing artwork by Stacey Rozich.
