Formed in 2010, Jan Oberg and his band of bludgeoning
troubadours are back. Following their
acclaimed third record, “Withered”,
which we described as “Loud,
heavy, aggressive, and full of huge riffs”, 2016 will see Earthship chartering new territory with the release of their new record “Hallowed” on Napalm Records. Striking the right balance between the stronger
dynamics of bands like Kylesa and Crowbar, with the melodies Alice In Chains,
Earthship’s new album remains one of monolithic proportions.
Today, we are excited to present the first taste
of the new album, with the UK premiere of their new video, “Valley of Thorns”. The band had this to say about the track “It is
one of our faster, a bit more progressive and cheerful tracks of the album but
quite the opposite are the lyrics, mainly dealing with emptiness and despair. A
sad and lonesome trip into oblivion but in a very colorful and metaphorical way.
It shows you up somehow that we’re all running our private race against time
before it’s all over and gone. Life is short, let’s get some shots!”
“Hollowed” is set to be released on June 24th via Napalm Records. Pre-Orders
will be available shortly! Check out
