It Spins On A Crooked Axis Left It Twitching By The Road


Pentastar: In The Style of Demons was released by Sub Pop on July 23, 1996.

This is the third album of Earth


According to some specialized reviewers, it sounds like a mix of drone doom and stoner rock and has a friendlier sound than its predecessors.


This style of heavy metal melds the slow tempos of doom metal with the long-duration notes of drone music, according to Wikipedia.  


I found about this band on 1998, when I saw the morbid documentary Kurt & Courtney.  


Dylan Carlson was among the people interviewed by Nick Broomfield


The English film director wanted to know if he had bought the shotgun with which Kurt Cobain supposedly commited suicide. 


Carlson seemed to be under the influence of opiates, he did not seem to think clearly, but he denied it. 




He said that Kurt Cobain didn't have suicidal tendencies and that if it had been the case, he would not have bought him a shotgun.  

Short before this scene, a clip of Tallahasse appeared on the documentary. 


Courtney Love had told several times to the press that Dylan Carlson and her husband were friends, that he had a lot of guns and that he had bought him a shotgun.


(Kurt Cobain had suggested to the press that one verse of In Bloom spoke about Dylan Carlson's interest on guns.)


There was a time when the leader of Nirvana bought guns -he even told to the media that he loved to shooting them-, but once Courtney and he had a fight and she called to the police and accused his husband of family violence and the police confiscated all the firearms found on their house and forbade him to buy more. 




Tom Hansen also suggested that both Kurt Cobain and Dylan Carlson were drug partners. 

He wrote on a passage of American Junkie that he was Kurt Cobain's dealer and that he even sold him drugs the very same day Nirvana played the famous concert MTV's Live N' Loud on Seattle, WA


He picked him up with his car a blocks away from Pier 48.

Dylan Carlson accompanied Kurt Cobain and he took the backseat of the car.  

On Soaked In Bleach, Tom Grant -the detective hired by Courtney Love to find her husband when she reported him missing- suggested that Dylan Carlson was involved on Kurt Cobain's murder.


Other journalists have even said that Courtney Love blackmailed Dylan Carlson with drugs, and that she funded the recording of Pentastar: In The Style Of Demons
