Of the Earth was first conceived during the transition of Summer to Autumn in 2013, when Roger and Nathan once again crossed paths after years of being unaware if the other was even alive... The idea was to create and forge a sound that was honest and representing the ideals and beliefs of the environment we were created in. During the creation phase, the self produced Vol I: Demos from the Underground Sessions was made as a working and evolving idea. After a change in the rhythm section, Eric was added on bass guitars bringing a new direction and feel to the groove, as well as Jake taking over drums to bring Of the Earth to a new realm of possibilities. During the second week in December of 2016, OtE entered Rock Garden Studios in Appleton, WI to record their live EP "Vol II: Patient Zero". The music is brutally honest for anyone with bruised hands and a blue collar; it is beautifully heavy for the ones holding a novel and a bottle of whiskey; the rhythms and strings and words belong around a bonfire as well as in the pit.
