As its title suggests, Blacked Out – the debut album from Now And On Earth – is a dark and dangerous affair. It’s a record that’s riddled with depression and despair and which is set in a world on the verge of collapse. Yet at the same time, the powerful force of these songs – which explode in vicious torrents of angst and anger – battle against that darkness, fighting against it as much as they encourage it. For Now And On Earth is a band that thrives from darkness, that lives in the shadows, that exists to tear everything down.
