Dark Path is the brazen debut from Virginia warlocks, EARTHLING. Possessing a haunting intricacy, Earthling has crafted an album that skilfully avoids the pitfalls of metal's current sub-genres. Harnessing a classic sound with a blazing vision, Dark Path is a relentlessly cruel record that cultivates a natural mysticism. Lurking soundscapes spiral into pure sonic madness like 1980's Slayer running wild through 1990's Norway. These promising riff mongers have made a sharp first impression. A gripping listen at every turn, Dark Path is a genuine pursuit of wretchedness. “...push each part of the song decisively into the red, so that, just when the whole thing starts to wobble, they transition and regain their footing. The instability breeds the same sort of excitement as a mosh pit, where the risk of wiping out only increases the thrill of serving as a standing pinball.”—Pitchfork
