--- title: "Earth" type: "MusicGroup" url: "https://themetalnet.com/band/earth-60dd41cf" genre: "Drone Metal" formed: 1990 --- # Earth **Earth** is a drone metal band, active 1990 to present. Earth is an American rock band originally based in Olympia, Washington, and led by the guitarist Dylan Carlson. Initially active between 1989 and 1997, their early work is characterized by heavily distorted guitar, drones, and lengthy, minimalist song structures; their 1993 debut album Earth 2 is recognized as a pioneering work of the drone metal genre. The band resurfaced in the early 2000s, with their subsequent output reducing the distortion and incorporating elements of country, jazz rock, and folk. Earth's current lineup consists of Carlson and drummer Adrienne Davies. Often Bill Herzog is on bass as well as other Earth members, past present and future.
