Right now, drone-metal pioneers Earth are touring Europe. On Tuesday night (Jan. 27), Earth were slated to play at the Bologna, Italy venue TPO, which hosts cultural events as well as underground bands. According to various reports from the show, Earth did not perform because Dylan Carlson, the band's frontman and sole permanent member, objected to the Palestinian flag hanging in the venue.

The band refused to perform because of the Palestinian flag on stage.

The acclaimed metal band Earth was scheduled to perform at TPO in Bologna, Italy, but when they saw a Palestinian flag on stage, they asked for it to be removed. When their request was denied, they decided not to go on stage and play. "The venue chose politics over music, it's not about us," explained band leader Dylan Carlson.

The American metal band Earth was supposed to perform at a venue in Bologna, Italy, but when they discovered a Palestinian flag was flying on stage, they asked the venue to remove it, and when the venue refused, they decided not to go to the show. They deserve our utmost respect.

I did a search and found numerous videos and articles about this /these (artists?) Seems more like movie background music as opposed to anything that is normally associated with Metal. It literally drones on and on and on and on and on with no structure one is generally accustomed to. I don’t know what to make of it and I listen (as of late) to WQXR out of New York , their “New Sounds” stream which has a very eclectic mix of anything you can imagine. They originate out of Olympia Washington .....good stuff for a movie to accentuate a particular scene but beyond that its distortion and reverb and on and on and on and on and on. I apologize for droning on....Just my two cents on this group/artists.
