Swallowed By DustEarth are considered pioneers of drone doom genre. The band was founded in 1989 by Slim Moon, Dylan Carlson and Greg Babior. After multiple line-up changes, the band broke up in 1997 and re-united in 2003. Their musical style ranges from abrasive drone metal (Earth 2), to stoner rock (Pentastar) and lately, more minimalist, meditative psychedelic/post-rock with gospel and country influences.
