(((folkYEAH!))) Presents: Earthless with Primitive Ring

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM Ages: 21+ *GA standing in the stage room. * Inspired by the ancient Japanese legend of the Hyakki Yagyō, or “Night Parade of One Hundred Demons,” Earthless’ latest album draws on tales of supernatural creatures roaming the night while terrified villagers hide indoors, listening to the chaos outside. The story’s atmosphere of mystery and fear became the perfect backdrop for the band's return to their signature style of expansive instrumental psychedelia. Following 2018’s Black Heaven, which featured shorter songs and vocals, Night Parade of One Hundred Demons marks a return to Earthless’ roots. The album consists of two sprawling compositions: the 41-minute title track and the 20-minute “Death to the Red Sun.” After guitarist Isaiah Mitchell’s return to San Diego in 2020, the trio was able to reconnect with their original songwriting process—developing long-form jams through regular collaboration and improvisation. The result is one of Earthless’ darkest and most ambitious records, filled with tension, noise, and heavy psychedelic exploration. Recorded in San Diego with producer Ben Moore, the album also features striking artwork created by bassist Mike Eginton, inspired by his research into traditional Japanese yōkai. For the band, the record represents both a creative evolution and a return to the spirit that first defined Earthless—so much so that it even includes the very first riff they wrote together, finally recorded two decades later.
