Rhythms from a Cosmic Sky

Tee Pee

Starting big, building even larger and erupting into jam-drenched peak after peak, Rhythms from a Cosmic Sky commands your attention from the very start and never lets up. Torridly fueled by guitarist Isaiah Mitchell’s fierce, raw approach and ear-ringing amplitude, Earthless explodes, one spectacular trek after another. His psychedelic and aggressive riffs are otherworldly, as this trio’s rather hard-edged sound beams with a stripped-down, live excitement that feels more like an impromptu jam session than a studio effort.With the exception of “Cherry Red”— which clocking in at under five minutes, shows Earthless can write songs and not only 20- minute jams, this is a strictly instrumental journey which sounds something like a geeked-up interpretation of vintage Sabbath. And oh what a trip it is.
