The Planet of DOOM
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!

This has endured through UK tours, gigs in Europe, four albums and a mountain of split/vinyl/cassette releases. 2012’s “A Hocht” was released to widespread critical acclaim, gaining support from around the world which was capped off with a deafening performance at the Incubate Festival in Tilburg.
September 2016 will see the saw the release the bands 5th album via Black Bow Records.

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.
With our successful Kickstarter campaign coming to a close this week, we’d like to thank you all with this special trailer. It features clips that go all the way back to our first teaser, and includes brand new film music by the band Ironweed!
Since production on the film will be starting up soon, this will be the last footage you’ll see from us for quite some time. As one journey ends, another begins. See you on the other side!
Make sure to grab some loot before we close up shop. It will be your last chance to score these future collectibles.
