HeavyHardMetalmania: EARTHLING: Blackened Sci-Fi Thrashers' Southeastern US Tour Begins Today

Black/thrash purveyors EARTHLING head back out on the road today on a new run of live infiltrations of clubs across the Southeastern quadrant of the country. This latest barrage of live broadcasts kicks into gear tonight in Knoxville, Tennessee, then plowing south with shows in the Carolinas and Florida over the next nine evenings, ending at Fall Line Fest in Richmond, Virginia with Inter Arma, Thou, Woe and more. After a few days off-duty, they bust out on a three-day riffing spree across their native Virginia September 12th, 13th and 14th, including shows with Zuul, Deceased and others.

A furious and infectious maelstrom of doom-infused thrash mastery, Dark Path -- the blazing debut LP from the Harrison-based EARTHLING quartet -- was released via their cohorts at Forcefield Records in May, and was well-received by humans involved in the underground music media as well as innocent bystanders. Through an organic, blackened, thrashing hybrid of metal drawing influences from across the spectrum of extreme music, the band's corrosive live attack was finally captured on record. Recorded by Garret Morris (Windhand, Cough, Parasytic, Bastard Sapling) and mastered by Mikey Allred (Inter Arma, Hellbender, Across Tundras), Dark Path is a coarse, diverse display of the band's terrorizing spirit; a ravenous force that has guided the group through countless shows, relentless demo recordings, and over five years of sheer sacrifice.

Stream all of Dark Path AT THIS LOCATION.
