Additional notes:
Earth are considered pioneers of drone doom and were a major influence on Sunn O))). They broke up in 1997 and re-united in 2003. Their musical style ranges from abrasive drone metal (Earth 2), to stoner rock (Pentastar) and lately, more minimalist, meditative doom with gospel and country influences.
