The post-metal trio reinvents their sound and prepares for a heavy-hitting EP release.

Brace yourselves, metalheads! Blood Of The Earth, a formidable trio forged from the ashes of Crowbar and The Convalescence, have just dropped their latest single, "The Constellation". This beast of a track serves as a tantalizing preview of their upcoming EP, Beneath A Sky That Breaks, which is set to hit the underground on October 23rd.

In a bold move, Blood Of The Earth revisits a composition from their debut EP, breathing new life into it with a revamped approach that showcases their artistic evolution. The result? A sprawling auditory landscape that oscillates between moments of haunting restraint and tectonic heaviness, pushing the envelope of doom and post-metal into uncharted territories.

Katie Golden, one of the driving forces behind the band, reflects on this transformation: "'The Constellation' has morphed significantly since its original instrumental version. Infusing it with lyrics and vocals added layers of intensity and a deeper meaning, allowing us to explore its full potential. It's as if we finally captured the essence of what we always envisioned for this track."

Jeff Golden chimes in, emphasizing the atmospheric depth brought to the song by the dual vocals of J. Costa and Katie. Their contrasting styles meld seamlessly, creating an indelible identity for the track that resonates with ominous power and emotional weight. Together, they forge a sound that is as unsettling as it is captivating.

This new single follows the band’s recent reinterpretation of Ministry's industrial metal classic “Filth Pig” and the original track “Petrichor”, both of which lay the groundwork for the sonic journey that awaits in Beneath A Sky That Breaks. This five-song collection promises to expand their already formidable sonic palette while maintaining the raw, unyielding heaviness that defines their music.

Recorded with the legendary Ryan Boesch (Melvins, Whores), this EP marks a significant leap forward for Blood Of The Earth. With each track, they delve into the intricate dance between distortion and melody, crafting an immersive experience that envelops the listener in a shroud of sonic darkness.

Mark your calendars and prepare to delve into the abyss with Beneath A Sky That Breaks, which includes tracks like “Barren Oasis” and the much-anticipated “Filth Pig” cover. Pre-save and pre-order details can be found through the band’s social channels.

Catch Blood Of The Earth live as they unleash their sound at Tampa Doom & Gloom Fest on November 14, alongside legends Novembers Doom, and continue the following night in Lake Worth, FL. Don’t miss your chance to witness this powerhouse trio as they redefine the boundaries of heavy music.
