Since 1989, the slowest metal band on Earth has made for some of music’s most striking
tectonic changes. Not only did the band Earth create a glacially paced subgenre of metal and
play a pivotal role in the popularization of grunge, but visionary leader Dylan Carlson also
did it while battling small-town boredom, heroin addiction, and the tragic death of his
roommate and best friend, Kurt Cobain. Despite the high volume of its beloved and beautiful
drone metal, Earth has rarely had much to say for itself. For the first time, in a moving saga
that respects the music as much as the ragtag cast of working-class eccentrics and surreal
Pacific Northwest majesty that shaped it, Clyde Petersen gets to the core of the could-have-
been-tragic triumph of Earth, the slow band that changed everything it touched.
