Earthtone 9 were one of the best of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLo-Def(inition) Discord is where the Sheffield outfit announced themselves, arriving in 1998 with a sound that owed something to Helmet and Deftones but never quite settled into either camp. There's an abrasive, clanging quality to the production that suits the material, all angular riffs and dynamics that actually go somewhere. It's the kind of alt metal record that the genre's detractors never acknowledge existed, because it complicates the narrative. The guitars have real muscle, the songwriting has real intent, and the whole thing sounds like it was made by people who owned good records and had something to prove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD. Full length album. UK origin, 1998 release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of: Helmet, Deftones, Unsane, Pitchshifter, Skunk Anansie's heavier moments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALT CVLT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45550304952511,"sku":"5021272030224","price":19.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/3633\/0175\/files\/original_0fcf3c80-d2f8-4ace-8fb6-25525faa9b2f.jpg?v=1777074616","url":"https:\/\/www.alt-cvlt.com.au\/products\/earthtone-9-lo-definition-discord-1998-cd","provider":"ALT CVLT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
