SNN74 Southern Lord
'Hibernaculum' is a very special CD and DVD package release from avant-experimental drone innovators Earth. The audio material consists of new recordings of three old Earth classics redone in a different, stark and clean tone, plus the track “A Plague of Angels” which was previously available on a rare tour-only split 12 inch with Sunn0))).
The video material (on a second disc) is an Earth documentary filmed by Seldon Hunt. The documentary features interviews with Dylan Carlson and live footage from the group's 2006 European tour. It is the first time ever that footage of Dylan Carlson and Earth has been released since the resurrection of the group. Detailed insight into the process of the band as well as candid, intimate conversations are captured in the film. The lineup assembled by Dylan Carlson for this album compliments the aesthetic and direction perfectly.
Adrienne Davies who brought a patient, consistent and complimentary rhythm and percussion to the 'Hex' album is again behind the drum kit. Don Mcgreevy and Jonas Haskins provide bass support. Steve Moore assists on keyboards and horns. Greg Anderson (Sunn 0)))/Thorr's Hammer/Goatsnake adds subsonics via analogue synth on “Ouroboros is Broken” and “Coda Maestoso in F (Flat) Minor”. As with 'Hex', 'Hibernaculum' is focused and precise yet the heavy darkness remains unbroken.
