Earth at Temples Festival // Live photos and live review

The reverence for Earth and Dylan Carlson (see Louder Than War interview here) is pretty strong in the room tonight, a man who has managed to have a flourishing career producing some of the most groundbreaking drone albums as well his solo and side projects. Introducing the band in his inimitable high-pitched North West US accent after the first track, ‘There Is A Serpent Coming’ he holds aloft his guitar as he strums away, channelling its power. They move through the set like an ocean, delicately driven by the waves of riffs that crash on the audience’s heads like barrels of baptising notes.

The hour and a half long set also compromised of, ‘There Is A Serpent Coming’, ‘Badger’s Bane’, ‘Even Hell Has It’s Heroes’, ‘The Bees Made Honey In The Lion’s Skull’, ‘From The Zodiacal Light’, ‘Torn By The Fox Of The Crescent Moon’, ‘High Command’ and the encore, ‘Old Black’ and it was a beautifully, albeit relatively subdued, balm of a set to end an impressive three days.
