Earth release new song ‘The Mandrake’s Hymn’

EARTH have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Mandrake’s Hymn, is taken from the iconic drone metallers’ upcoming new album Full Upon Her Burning Lips which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Back with a sound more organic than ever, the tried-and-true magic between guitarist Dylan Carlson and percussionist Adrienne Davies unfurls with each of the record’s ten tracks. “In the past I’ve usually had a strong framework for an album,” Carlson says of the album’s gestation process. “This one developed one over the course of the writing and recording. It just felt like EARTH—like just the two players doing their best work at playing, serving the music.”

The absence of a guiding narrative allowed Carlson and Davies to be more inquisitive, resulting in more terse musical vignettes unbound by context. Bolstered by the engineering, mixing, and mastering by longtime associate Mell Dettmer, Full Upon Her Burning Lips is a leap into undiscovered territory.
