Earth- Pentastar: In The Style Of Demons

Label: Sub Pop

Reissued 6/5/2026, Originally released 1996

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-and-black mashup vinyl, and features a limited-edition wraparound art print with a reinterpretation of the album cover by contemporary artists Matt McCormick.
