PLANET FATALE: new album out
Planet Fatale is thrilled to finally share its debut album The Cycle Repeats with all the fans. The album will be available on all major digital platforms and accessible here.
Prior to album release the band launched two singles: Talking To Myselfand Break For Youtoday.
Talking To Myselfis the perfect introduction to the band’s sound. The single is a riff driven rock track, Planet Fatale’s personal re-interpretation of the best NWOBHM influences blended with hints of stoner rock and held together by Hels fierce vocals.
Following Talking To Myself, the second single Break For You further showcases the band’s soundscape: a slightly slower number compared to the first single, yet heavier with a fuller sound, tinted with almost sensual blues-rock driven riffs.
Once again the track is held together with the singer’s energetic and charismatic voice. The accompanying video perfectly captures the inner nature of single, all about passion and desire.
The forthcoming record The Cycle Repeats was produced by Russ Russell (Napalm Death, The Wildhearts, Raging Speedhorn), and is the product of two years of solid writing.
Sitting on the darker and heavier side of the rock spectrum, Planet Fatale’s soundscape is exciting and unique; taking inspiration from all corners of rock, including: alternative metal, stoner rock and blues, The CycleRepeats is a collection of 10 tracks fueled by heavy riffs, rhythmic grooves, dramatic solos, all led by the fierce vocals of lead singer Hels.
The five-piece, Planet Fatale, was founded in Cambridge in early 2019, with members from previous rock/metal outfits Powderhead (Hels – Vocals, Miller – Bass, Ollie – Drums), Unit 9 (Simon – Guitar) and Salamander (Chris – Guitar). Starting out under the moniker ‘Powderhead’, in their first year they released two singles, Shotgun Riders(April 2019) and Smash My Face(November 2019); alongside a live EP, Live Powder(November 2019).
To celebrate the new album release, the band will embark on a headline UK tour, the first since the pandemic startedin 2020. Planet Fatale are self-confessed gig addicts and thrive on the live stage, feeding off the audience interaction. In 2021 Planet Fatale promise to deliver a show full of intense, raw energy and a relentless performance. UK dates below.
The band comments:
“We are absolutely bursting to get back out on the road, so expect us to be hitting the stage with all we’ve got on this tour, it’s gonna be one hell of a ride! After two singles and a live EP, this album is our biggest and heaviest release to date, perfectly captured by producer Russ Russell, and it rocks!
We just can’t wait to release it and show the world what we’ve got! Each track has its own personality, we’ve got some proper moshers in there, which we’re really gonna heavy up live, along with some killer riffs just oozing with groove and the more bluesy numbers.
It’s been a journey and we look forward to sharing it with our fans in our favourite place on earth – the live stage! Welcome to the Planet!!“
