The Evening Redness in the West Tour Celebrating 20 Years of Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method Over the course of their thirty trips around the sun, Earth has remained diligent in their commitment to monolithic minimalism. The sonic vocabulary may have changedÑfrom their early years churning out seismic drone metal on albums like Earth 2 (1993) to the dusty Morricone-tinged comeback album Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method (2005) to the meditative rock approach of Primitive and Deadly (2014)Ñbut the underlying principle of austerity and restraint remains a constant.
