It's the first episode of Calculating Infinite Tees and we are honoured to start the ball rolling with Karl Middleton from prestigious alt metal legends Earthtone9. Karl has lent his considerable larynx to Earthtone9 since 1998 and in a period of just 4 years, released three albums of blistering progressive hardcore that cultivated a modest yet devoted fanbase, of which both Remfry and Simon are very much a part of. Earthtone9's hiatus in 2002 left room for Karl to explore other musical projects (The Blueprint, Twinzero, Blackstorm ... all excellent by the way) before Earthtone9 reformed in 2010 for a few sporadic shows and a new album, IV released in 2013. But with their latest album In Resonance Nexus the band sound more fired up than they have done in years, a savage record that keeps one evil crawling eye on the past, whilst simultaneously laying foundations for the band's future. Karl picked an immense bill for us to discuss, a triple punch of Neurosis, Converge and Amenra which he witnessed whilst living stateside in Detroit, Michigan and produced a mighty fine collab tee for us to coo over too. In Resonance Nexus is available now and we heartily recommend you pick up a copy
