Silent Planet

About

Silent Planet aren't just making music; they're crafting sonic manifestos. Emerging from Southern California’s fertile metalcore scene, the band transcends genre constraints, blending progressive metal, djent-inspired rhythms, and atmospheric soundscapes into a uniquely compelling and intellectually stimulating experience. Their lyrics, penned by vocalist Garrett Russell, delve into profound themes of existentialism, mental health, political disillusionment, and philosophical inquiry, separating them from their peers. Silent Planet's trajectory began in 2009, steadily building a devoted following through relentless touring and a commitment to creating art with substance. The release of their debut full-length, "The Night God Slept," in 2014, solidified their place within the metalcore landscape, followed by critically acclaimed albums like "Everything Was Sound" (2016) and "When The End Began" (2018). These albums showcased their evolving sound and unwavering dedication to lyrical depth. Their impact extends beyond the pit. Silent Planet fosters open conversations about mental health and societal issues through their music and online presence. Collaboration with artists like Cory Brandan of Norma Jean has further amplified their reach. With their latest release, "Iridescent," Silent Planet continues to push boundaries, solidifying their status as a vital and thought-provoking force in modern metal.
