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!

THE PLANET OF DOOM is stoked to announce the inclusion of the band SLOMATICS! Formed in Belfast late 2004, Slomatics (a band Conan cite’s as an influence) aim to reduce riffs to a primal state of heaviness, to produce music that implodes under it’s own weight, creates a joyous and euphoric state of wellbeing which can only be obtained with a slew of vintage amplifiers, fuzz pedals, analog synths, and an alarming array of percussion instruments.

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.
Halvar’s ride, “Necrohorse”!
Witness the model sheet of Halvar‘s ride, “Necrohorse“! The bike will be bestowed upon him by the three witches who reside among the peaks of the Sacred Mountain.
“Necrohorse” was drawn by chopper-scene legend Jason Cruz, who is teamed up with the band Orchid for the first chapter in our film.
This drawing is being used as reference by all the artists in the film, as well as for the limited-edition Kickstarter-exclusive print.
The feedback, positive vibes, and genuine enthusiasm we’ve received from all of you during our Kickstarter budget raising effort has surpassed anything we thought possible. This is YOUR movie! You’ve all earned it, and it will be our great pleasure to make it for you!

We genuinely hope that this film will cross into the cult classic status, and we relish the idea that future generations will be getting high and watching this in their basements for decades to come.
