about

From yesteryear’s slapstick to tomorrow's lunar colonies, the story of the alkaline earth metals begins inside our bones and the threadbare fabric of our souls. We cannot hide inside calcium shells or behind pretty painted toenails. We are built to break and nowhere is this felt more deeply than on The Cruel Earth’s latest look at the Periodic Table of Elements -- Digging The Alkaline Earth Metals.

Beryllium -- calling into the void of space, a reply arrives...
Magnesium -- the dusty dirt of identity and insidious internalization.
Calcium -- skeletons, exoskeletons...our home is made of bone.
Strontium -- nuclear disaster tests the endurance of earth’s dignity.
Barium -- a flame burns inside you, pale green...
Radium -- nothing/everything but electrons orbiting a pear-shaped nucleus.

Perfect music for: bodily functions, body modification, skeletal exchanges, endurance training, bone disease, breaking the bonds of heretical imprisonment, physical discomfort leading to deformity.
