I think it was something called 'Giggs favorite 2011 records so far' because he planned on not doing a year end list
yeah RIGHT
6. Earth – Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I
Genre: Instrumental rock, drone, psychedelic
Key songs:
"Hell's Winter"
Earth is one of those bands that have been around for a long time. Evidently, a band like that will change its sound over time. They used to be doom metal, but I'm not too knowledgable on that genre and have not listened to Earth's earlier work. I imagine it's great too, though. Now they're more of a psychedelic, droney stoner rock band. Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I is their sixth studio album and as you can guess, they haven't lost their stride.
Now don't get me wrong: This is not some kind of innovative, groundbreaking record even for their own sound. It's just incredibly cohesive and a pleasure to listen to. It does have a more classical sound to it, which is probably why it's my favorite record by them. Throw in a cello with those crunchy, hardhitting soundscapes and you will almost always satisfy my needs.
That's why Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I has become one of my to go to records whenever I need some hardhitting, slow instrumentals. If you like that type of stuff, you'll want to check this out.
I hope Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II is as good as this. They were recorded at the same amount of time and II is supposed to come out in three weeks.
