Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method
Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method is the fourth full-length studio album by drone doom band Earth. The album was the first new material released by Earth after a nine year hiatus due to Dylan Carlson's drug and legal problems.
The album was a stark contrast to Earth's previous works; the guitar playing was clean as opposed to the heavy drone material of the earlier albums, and the music was heavily influenced by country music as well as Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, also evident in the album artwork. The subtitle hails from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. It was well-received by fans of the band and critics alike despite the change in sound.
