Words by Jai “That Aussie Metal Guy” Anderson – Crannk.com
There are guitarists… and then there’s Isaiah Mitchell — the six-string sorcerer behind the San Diego-born power trio Earthless, a band whose very name has become synonymous with instrumental transcendence, mind-melting jams, and absolute sonic devotion.
Since their formation in 2001, Earthless has operated outside the traditional framework of hard rock — trading catchy hooks and tight radio edits for sprawling 20-minute epics, deeply rooted in the molten lava flow of Japanese psych rock, krautrock, and early proto-metal. Picture Black Sabbath jamming with Amon Düül II while Hendrix oversees the ritual with a wink and a wah pedal — you’re getting close.
Comprised of Isaiah Mitchell (guitar/vocals), Mario Rubalcaba (drums), and Mike Eginton (bass), Earthless has built a global cult following one electrifying, improvisation-fueled performance at a time. And now, after years of anticipation, they’re finally bringing their flamethrower psych-blues assault back to Australia this September 2025.
And breathe it does — fire and fury and freeform spirit. Their 2022 opus Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is a prime example of Earthless’s ability to tap into folklore, mysticism, and raw instrumental power. Drawing on ancient Japanese legends, the album unfolds like a meditative hallucination laced with volcanic riffs and rhythmic tribalism. It’s music that refuses to sit still — and refuses to be ignored.
This ethos will be front and center as Earthless tear their way across Australia this September, performing tracks like “Sonic Prayer,” “Violence Of The Red Sea,” “Stoned Out Of My Mind,” and their scorching cover of “Cherry Red.” Whether you’re a long-time fan or someone looking to step into the vortex for the first time — this is the tour you don’t want to miss.

For Isaiah, this tour is more than just another run — it’s a reconnection with fans and a chance to unleash new variations of songs that have mutated through hundreds of stage performances.
In the age of pre-programmed sets and backing tracks, Earthless remains defiantly analog — a living, breathing force that continues to melt minds, level stages, and summon the spirit of rock’s most adventurous ancestors.
If you’ve ever wanted to witness the ritual in real-time, now’s your chance.
