Earth’s third full-length album, 1996’s Pentastar: In the Style of Demons, is a classic of languid riff-worship, oozing with a thick, fuzzed-out goop that melts together Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Hendrix, drone, and ambient music. The result feels like a long, lonely drive through the desert, with inner and/or outer space as the only destination.

Earth has had a vast influence on modern music, from experimental metal, electronic/ambient, to stoner rock, influencing artists from SUNN O))) to The Bug to Godflesh. Earth’s story was documented in the acclaimed 2023 documentary Even Hell Has Its Heroes.

Earth’s third album, 1996’s Pentastar: In the Style of Demons, is a classic of languid riff-worship, oozing with a thick, fuzzed-out goop that melts together Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Hendrix, drone, and ambient music. The result feels like a long, lonely drive through the desert, with inner and/or outer space as the only destination.

Arguably the band’s most rock-oriented album, Pentastar: In the Style of Demons features the enduring “hit” single, "Tallahassee.”

This 30th anniversary edition is on green vinyl, and features a limited-edition wraparound art print with a reinterpretation of the album cover by contemporary artists Matt McCormick.
