Heavy riffs, rhythmic groove and fierce, melodic vocals. Planet Fatale occupy the darker side of heavy rock, fused with blues/stoner rock and alternative metal influences.
Their upcoming debut album, produced by Russ Russell (Napalm Death, The Wildhearts, Raging Speedhorn), will be released in September 2021 following two years of solid writing, a live EP and two single releases, and having played 50+ gigs all over the UK. If their previous live performances of the tracks are anything to go by, the album promises to bring a refreshingly varied set of powerful tracks, each with their own personality and backstory.
