This is Earthless’ third full-length album, released back in 2013. They are a killer band, playing long instrumentals inspired by 70’s bands like Sabbath and Zeppelin. This is a double album and there are only four songs. It feels like you are present at one big jam session where the band just plays within a basic structure, but goes off and wails, grooves, and at the required point come back to the main riff. This is my type of wet dream album as I love listening to musicians just going for it like this.
Violence Of The Red Sea is 14:46 minutes of just that, with the groove speeding up and slowing down as and when. Killer stuff! Uluru Rock is 14:08 minutes of pure joy. The main guitar sound is awesome. Just close your eyes, lay back, and let it soak in. At 5:42 minutes Equus October is a tad more concise and to the point. A killer syncopated beat with one hell of a groove and fuzz pedals a go go. The title track is all about the rhythm section, adding different grooves and rhythms throughout with the guitar just feeding back over the top for over half of the song, then the guitars join in with the insanity, and 30 minutes later it’s all over.
I get this is not everyone’s cup of tea, but to me it’s freakin awesome.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
