earthtone9 offer up 'Inside, Embers Glow...', a 16-track compilation album spanning the highlights of their career, FOR FREE! YES, FREE YOU FUCKERS. Visit www.earthtone9.co.uk to download 'Inside, Embers Glow... a collection of earthtone9's aural communiqués 1998-2002'. Drawing from all three of their acclaimed albums (plus the two EPs), it's a definitive statement from one of the UK's most adventurous bands. Or if you're old school you can buy a super limited edition digipack version of the record for £5.99! (That's less than a pint in a London venue). Nottingham's earthtone9 were a band who showed a blatant and consistent disregard for anything approaching conformity throughout their five year existence. Belching into life with the KKKKK rated 'Lo-Def(inition) Discord' opus in 1998, they bulldozed, confounded and impressed until their messy implosion in 2002. The band reformed last year to play reunion shows at Damnation and Sonisphere Festivals and a May 2011 headline tour is now also scheduled.
