  arthquake has been around for quite some time now yet always kept a low
  profile and stayed very underground. Only known to the few who've come
  across them. Originally Earthquake was made out of a duo consisting of
  TNT Roots and Winston Dread. It was way back in the eighties that their
  musical journey began in Northampton where they also made the first
  vocal recording of a young Tena Stelin. Through the ninties they
  released a number of really experimental dub albums which sounded more
  hardcore and rather unconventional for the common dub market.
  Nevertheless they were exposed to the roots and dub masses by sound
  systems like Iration Steppaz and others. In the late ninties the duo
  parted but TNT Roots kept producing material under the name Earthquake.
  In 2004 TNT Roots and Tena Stelin released, what is to my knowledge the
  first vocal album featuring Earthquake rhythms, "Cosmic Intervention"
  which evidently reached a new crowd of people and not only the more
  hardcore dubheads because of Tena Stelin's contributory. Last year we
  also saw the release of TNT Roots in the guise of Yahweh Warriors with
  the album "Yahweh Warriors in Dubwise".

  "Mighty King David Sounds" follows in the same agenda of deep and dark
  dub as its predecessors. The music coming out of the Earthquake Studio
  is either something you like or very much dislike since it's a extreme
  kind of music. Everything is almost too much. The basslines are
  crumbling and turning in the low parts of the chordscale, the skanks and
  melodies or distorted and ghostly. Many uses such words as brimstone,
  lightning and thunder when describing Earthquake's music, funnily those
  were the first words that came to my mind when hearing Earthquake for
  the first time.

  But somewhere in all this chaos of sounds I find a meditative beat to
  the rhythm and sense to the out of this earth melody when giving the
  music attention and effort. It's not the sense of beauty in the music
  that captures you but the raw and intense depth within it. Highlights on
  the album are the more conventional songs (in Earthquake standards that
  is) "Almighty Dub", "Moses" and "Zion Soldiers". As you might have
  figured out by now this is deep deep dub music and nothing for the weak
  hearted dub listener.
