Earthship Release Hollowed June 24
After issuing their third album, Withered, on Pelagic Records in 2014, Berlin-based four-piece Earthship have signed to Napalm Records and will make their debut on the label with Hollowed on June 24. Their winding riffery touches on progressive territory in such a way that to call them “sludge” doesn’t really do the full scope of their mission justice, but there is for sure a dirt-under-the-fingernails sensibility to their songs, however melodically conscious they may ultimately be.
Interesting that the title Hollowed follows Withered in being a past participle. Not to mention the central idea of decay between them. I wonder if the two records are related thematically somehow. Only one way to find out:
EARTHSHIP – Announce Title, Track Listing, Artwork & Release Date Of Upcoming Album!
Behold the power of the riff in all shapes and sizes: It would be a serious understatement, even borderline ignorance to simply lump EARTHSHIP in with the rest of the sludge rock genre – a horribly abused and undefined tag.
Berlin based EARTHSHIP was born in 2010 and present an intriguing mix of heavy metal, fuzzy Stoner Rock & some of the finest sludge to date. The band has already released 3 full-length albums & toured all across Europe and the UK. Now it’s time to take the next step together with their new home at Napalm Records! This four-piece has announced the details of their upcoming album entitled Hollowed including the Album artwork, track listing & release date!
Hollowed track listing:
1 Reduced to Ashes
2 Hollowed
3 Valley of Thorns
4 Conjured
5 Monolith

9 Safeguard of Death

On Hollowed, these Berlins once more gracefully tackle the soft yet stronger dynamic of bands like Kylesa and Black Tusk, celebrating and crowning the whole thing with morbid melodies Alice In Chains would be proud of. Saturated with monolithic doom and hauntingly good! Hollowed is set to be released on June 24th via Napalm Records. Pre-Orders will be available shortly!
Hollowed available as:
LTD 4 Page Digipack CD (+2 Bonus Tracks)
1 LP Gatefold Edition
Upcoming tour dates will be announced soon! Stay tuned!
