Blood Of The Earth have offered up another taste of their upcoming sludge/doom metal EP ‘Beneath A Sky That Breaks’ with the newly released track “Petrichor.”
The project features married duo Jeff Golden (ex-Crowbar, Thy Will Be Done) and Katie Golden (ex-The Convalescence), with Thy Will Be Done’s J. Costa having recently joined the lineup on vocals.
‘Beneath A Sky That Breaks’ is slated for an October 23rd release, while “Petrichor” is available to stream ahead of the full EP.
According to Jeff Golden, the song developed considerably from its initial guitar ideas after he began sharing riffs with Katie while she was living in Texas.
“‘Petrichor’ began with me sending riffs to Katie while she was living in Texas. She built the foundation by programming the drums, adding the keys, and shaping the arrangement into something far beyond the original ideas. Once those elements came together with J’s vocals, Katie’s vocal layers, and the full arrangement, the song evolved into something intense, haunting, and deeply atmospheric. It became a reflection of the emotional weight, contrast, and dynamic range we wanted Blood of the Earth to embody.”
Katie Golden likewise highlighted the freedom the project has given her to explore different textures and atmospheres as a musician.
“When I heard the guitar ideas from Jeff, I knew it needed to be heard as a full song. What hooked me for complementing the guitar part was the haunting melody line that lingered in my mind. Writing music with Blood of the Earth has allowed me to explore more sound textures and create an atmosphere evoking deep emotions.”
“‘Petrichor’ is a song that elevates the sound of Blood of the Earth to greater heights and deeper depths. It has allowed each individual member to expand their musical prowess and create an evocative atmosphere for the listener to feel and experience.”
