Earthless Sign to Nuclear Blast; October West Coast Tour Announced

This one comes right out of the day’s ‘Holy Shit!’ file. San Diego heavy psych forerunners Earthless have signed to Nuclear Blast for the early-2018 release of their fourth album, recorded by Dave Catching at Rancho de la Luna in Joshua Tree, California. The record doesn’t have a title yet, but it will follow the widely influential instrumentalist trio’s most excellent 2013 outing, From the Ages (review here), which was issued via Tee Pee Records and was their best-received work to-date, as well as their split with Harsh Toke (review here), which came out last year.

Earthless just appeared at Psycho Las Vegas, also returned to Freak Valley earlier this Spring, and made an appearance at Brant Bjork‘s Desert Generator in April, and no doubt that whatever it ends up being called, their next long-player just put itself on the most-anticipated list for many heavy rock heads when it comes to next year’s impending releases. I’m definitely happy to count myself in that number. Can’t wait to hear what kind of immersive sprawl Earthless have in store this time around.

EARTHLESS sign to Nuclear Blast Entertainment + October headline dates announced

Nuclear Blast Entertainment is pleased to announce the worldwide signing of seminal psychedelic rock trio, EARTHLESS! The band–Isaiah Mitchell (vocals/guitar), Mike Eginton (bass) and Mario Rubalcaba (drums)–recently finished recording their new album with Dave Catching (EAGLES OF DEATH METAL) at Rancho de la Luna in Joshua Tree, CA, and took a moment to offer a few words about their upcoming album and new partnership.

“EARTHLESS is beyond stoked to join a label that has kept its independence and vision so strong for 30 years,” commented drummer Mario Rubalcaba “It’s crazy to think that I’ve bought Nuclear Blast releases since I was still in my teens. We are psyched to put out yet another extension of ideas, sounds and the long-going chemistry that this band has forged over the years. There are some new inspired paths musically and vocally on this next album and we are very excited to see it released on Nuclear Blast.”

“The vibe out at Rancho is one that gels very naturally for EARTHLESS and lends itself to get creative very comfortably,” continues Rubalcaba. “You have nothing else out there to do except absorb the heat, stare at the stars and get in the zone! Dave and I first started talking about doing this project together a few years ago now and it was great to finally make it happen.”

Adds guitarist Isaiah Mitchell:
“Dave was a great person to be around while making this record. Very cool dude. And the studio itself is like a candy store: you want to try everything because there’s so much great gear.”

EARTHLESS will release their 4th full-length studio album in early 2018. More details to be announced shortly. Until then, don’t miss the band on their upcoming headlining run this fall. Tickets go on sale everywhere this Wednesday, August 23rd, at 10 am local time.

    Nuclear Blast seems like a weird label for Earthless to me. The label has a tendency to commercialize the bands they sign (Blues Pills is an example of this), and Earthless is band which needs to have absolutely free rein, because of the loose and jam-based music they play.
