July 2016
Locked and loaded! Here are the band/artist team-ups for each chapter in THE PLANET OF DOOM! We are stoked to announce that everyone here is signed and on-board.
With any project of this size and scope, it’s not uncommon to see a few folks drop out. With the new talent we’re announcing tonight, it’s become clear to us that these changes were pre-destined. FATE brought this creative FORCE together. A group that’s aligned for a singular goal: to make one of the most kickass animated films the world has ever seen.
THE PLANET OF DOOM is stoked to announce the inclusion of the band MESSA! They hail from Italy, and are ranked NUMBER 2 on this month’s infamous DOOM CHART! JK from Paranoid Hitsophrenic describes them as “Picture Clint Eastwood as the Man With No Name pitted against John Carpenter’s The THING… Spaghetti western doom…!”

THE PLANET OF DOOM is stoked to announce the inclusion of the band SLOMATICS!

Elephant Tree are a relatively new band who cut their teeth in the London metal scene. While their style is difficult to classify under any one particular sub-genre of Metal, it has been most likened to Doom Metal and Stoner Rock, however many people have their own classifications ranging from Blues to Prog. They’re signed to Magnetic Eye Records, who released their killer self-titled debut album this past September.

The band MESSA hails from Italy, and are ranked NUMBER 2 on the July 2016 infamous DOOM CHART! JK from Paranoid Hitsophrenic describes them as “Picture Clint Eastwood as the Man With No Name pitted against John Carpenter’s The THING… Spaghetti western doom…!”
Messa is 4-piece band born in 2014. Obscure, evoking doomy tracks with deliciously haunting female vocals, influenced by Pentagram, Bellwitch, Windhand,Jex Thoth, Sabbath Assembly, Bathory, La piramide di sangue. They deliver a heavy sound, occult-reminding, very experimental, also with ambient episodes, that will drive you through a scarlet velvet trip.
