Earth Inferno is a mixed version of three live performances by Fields of the Nephilim which shares its name with a self-published book by occult artist Austin Osman Spare. The live venues used for the recordings were from the group's 1990 Sumerland tour at Wolverhampton Civic Hall (4 August), Brixton Academy (6 October) and Hamburg Sportshalle (6 November). The record was released in April 1991 by Beggars Banquet Records and peaked at number 39 in UK album charts.
