Earth is an American drone band based in Seattle, Washington, formed in 1990 by Dylan Carlson, Slim Moon, and Greg Babior. Although they have played various styles of music, they are best known as pioneers of a minimalistic, long and repetitive form of heavy music known as drone. To a lesser extent their sound is referred to as doom metal. Earth however, has little to do with metal – at least in their current sound. Their early albums could be seen as a variation of the experimental doom-influenced metal of The Melvins.
