WEM Dominator/Live in London NW1 2016/Deluxe Limited Dark Star Effect Vinyl

Description

The titans of Seattle drone-rock, Earth, unveil WEM Dominator (Live in London NW1, 2016), a recording that captures their seismic power during their performance at KOKO in London. Sharing the bill with Neurosis, the band delivered a set of hypnotic intensity, icy beauty, and overwhelming volume. For over thirty years, Dylan Carlson and his musicians have been shaping unique soundscapes between meditative drone and massive doom riffs. WEM Dominator captures the slow, hypnotic euphoria of the trio, balancing the majesty of The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull and the menacing shadow of Even Hell Has Its Heroes. This record reaffirms Earth’s mastery of atmosphere and tension, in a minimalist symphony influenced by the Velvet Underground, Terry Riley, and La Monte Young. Recorded live on November 7, 2016, this concert features Dylan Carlson (guitar), Jodie Cox (baritone guitar), and Adrienne Davis (drums), with mixing and mastering by Mell Dettmer in Seattle.
