About this item

Marking a new direction the band would follow in years to come, 'Hex' stands in stark contrast to Earth's previous works. While retaining the extremely heavy doom/drone metal song structure of epic riffs over simple repetitive drum beats, the guitar was inflected with country influences that favored a cleaner reverb-heavy tone layered with acoustic instruments over the band's previous predilection for distortion. 

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: One of the greatest albums from one of the greatest drone bands of all time AND a turning point for said drone band which turned their trajectory into what is almost certainly the 'Greatest Ever Slo-Country LP From A Band That Used To Be a Drone Band' that i've ever heard. It's perfect, and it was a surprising left turn for a brilliant band, that turned out even better. Singularly brilliant.
