Track Of The Day: Earthtone9

Earthtone9 have now finished recording an EP, the first time they’ve been in the studio for a decade. And they’re giving away the new single as the latest Track Of The Day. Check out all Tracks Of The Day here.

The Nottingham band made a major impact after forming in 1998. They released three acclaimed albums, before splitting up in 2002. Since then, their individual approach to progressive metal has made them cult heroes.

In May 2010, the band announced their reunion for a small number of gigs. A month later they put out the compilation Inside, Embers Glow… a collection of earthtone9′s aural communiques 1998-2002. This was given away for free.

Now, the line-up of vocalist Karl Middleton, guitarists Owen Packard and Joe Robert, bassist Dave Anderson and drummer Simon Hutchby have finished recording an EP titled For Cause & Consequence, with producer Romesh Dodandango. This is available here.
