The first release Dylan Carlson of Earth did under his own name (previous releases were as Drcarlsonalbion) came out 5 years ago today. On the spectrum of Earth albums it's definitely on the mellow side. Really beautiful guitar tones on this, great for what I'd call a meditative state.

Francisco Pizarro (c. 1478-1541) was a conquistador who led the Spanish conquest of the Inca civilization from 1532.
