Earth Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1

click to enlargeImagine an instrumental tribute to the mellowest parts of Pink Floyd, but with all original music and you have this recording in a nutshell.

Many of you might know that Earth was the original name of Black Sabbath.This band has no connection at all with that legendary band other than maybe a slight influence. Although this is all original music, I couldn't help feeling like I wanted to sing about a lunatic on the grass. The Pink Floyd influence is that strong here! Not all Pink Floyd though. Just the wimpy stuff.

Now don’t think for a second that this band is as good as the great and mighty Pink Floyd. This band barely has a beat and there is nothing about the songs that grabbed me. This is just a few steps above Sunno in that regard. No, I don’t mean this as a good thing either. I mean that there is barely any meat here to sink ones teeth in. Everyone knows that you can't have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat!

Now here is the shocker for me. I found out after this entire review was writen that the band is from my hometown of Olympia, WA. Yeah, this city has a ton of bands like this. They can play for hours with no song in sight. If you are not stoned out of your mind you will be bored out of your skull. Typical Olympia stuff.
