Imminence Records’ Sirens has unveiled their boundary pushing new single entitled “Drone” to the world.

Finally, a drone metal band that doesn’t literally give me a headache. Seattle’s drone stalwarts Earth are back with the sequel to last year’s Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light I. What makes their music so much more palatable than the extremely avant-garde Sunn O))), a band that was formed as a tribute to them by the way, is the fact that you can actually hear discernible guitar melodies and coherent song structures instead of just stoning to drooones, drooooones, drooooooones and more droooooooooooones.
