Via Raging Planet, Earth Drive released "Planet Mantra" in 2015 and their first album “Stellar Drone” came out October 20th of 2017.

With "Stellar Drone" the band continued the journey through earthly landscapes and cosmic influences with contrasts of sonic textures, ancestral drones and monolithic sound walls.

Assuming a character of a warm saturated environment and atmospheric tones Earth Drive still insist on a heavy groove maintaining a visceral and cathartic density.

Earth Drive second album "Helix Nebula" was released 13th March 2020, once again by the Portuguese label Raging Planet.

Helix Nebula is the band second LP, where in addition to their traditional cosmic and psychedelic influences they explore in a more refined way the potential of their raw and powerfull sounds with warm, saturated and ambiental visceral tones. Earth Drive identity, beside their power and loudness, always have a strong atmospheric component, and in this record you still feel intense vibrations of immersive and meditative textures. The spatial effects, heavy tones and ritualistic atmospheres creates a futuristic and saturated aesthetic making this record a remarkable experience to let ourselves flow and travel within ourselves. The band is currently working on the next record.
