The saddest parts are always true
And I did love you through and through
I rolled around beneath the pews
Just to pretend I’d escape you

For @strifemagazine 🖤

Strongly weighing the possibility that I should wear this as we take the stage in Paris tonight. Hmmm
Europe has been a dream. I love my bandmates and our crew. Music can probably change the world. And this constant ringing in my ears sounds like 10,000 angels warbling aubades and oscillating murmurations (equal parts romantic and horrifying) which is to say it’s all beautiful and strange. Here is some proof of life

No one gets anywhere worthwhile by themselves.
I am so grateful to have amazing friends over the years step in and bring these songs to life.
Ok, gotta get back to it 😤
See you at @immersionmusicfestival sep 5th in Ohio 🤘🏼 #popunc

Alex Camarena, our 🐐. Wishing you the sweetest of returns on this day of your birth. We’ve spent a lifetime on the road together - thankfully we didn’t lose each other at that train station in Chengdu 11 years ago.
For some upsetting reason, you are amazing at everything on first try, and it’s the joy of the lifetime losing every competition ever with you (except for mk64, sometimes). You are home to me and so many others. Last night, I watched your face light up with the most genuine joy upon receiving a crayon-colored birthday card from your goddaughter… and everything felt like one beautiful circle.
Here’s to this next chapter and this next lil jaunt around the globe. Here’s to another lifetime ahead. Our brother forever.

10 years ago, @silentplanetband released Everything Was Sound, their sophomore album, which still stands as one of progressive metalcore’s best releases. Today, we look back and examine just what made this album so special in the first place.

This is (in retrospect), a review series to reflect on and highlight the scene’s most memorable and influential releases of all time.

What’s your favorite song off of Everything Was Sound? What does this album mean to you?

“After the fire, after the rain/After the sacred kissed the profane”

With those words, vocalist Garrett Russell ushers listeners into the pummeling majesty of Everything Was Sound, the sophomore release from progressive metalcore band Silent Planet. With those words, the foundation was laid for one of the most incredible and paradigm-shaking metalcore albums to come out of the 2010s. At this point in time, metalcore had become such a well-established genre that it had become a victim to its own success, falling into the trap of monotony that would unfortunately come to define the scene’s reputation, deserved or not. Everything Was Sound was one of the albums that proved metalcore still had room to grow and evolve, mixing power chords and fretboard wizardry with technical, powerful, and unique drumming, all tied together with lyrics that have yet to be outdone since in their power and themes.

The opening salvo of “Inherit the Earth” and “Psychescape” immediately establish what Silent Planet intends to accomplish here. Garrett Russell unleashes bellowing roars over some of the most hauntingly beautiful ambience, all paving way for the furious guitars of Mitchell Stark and the intense drum rhythms of Alex Camarena. It shows a knack for buildup and flow, the art of luring the listener in with quiet beauty, all before kicking your teeth in with grooves that have yet to be outdone in terms of their urgency and anger.

And let’s be clear, Silent Planet are angry as all get out throughout this album’s 41-minute runtime. Anger in metalcore is nothing new, but while metalcore had gained notoriety for its one-note lyrics of self-esteem or lost love, Silent Planet turned their eyes to

“Fading Light (feat. Thomas Freckleton)” is out now on all platforms.

Link in bio for the video.

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who helped make this possible. As an independent project, taking a song from something in our head to something tangible takes an immense amount of time, effort, and belief from a lot of people.
I’m grateful to everyone who gave their time, talent, and energy to help bring this one to life.

It’s 11/11 and our first full-length, The Night God Slept, is 11 years old. Does anyone still jam this one? I wonder how you think it’s aged with the passage of time.
We’ll play a few of these at Lovers Fest 💐

Today marks 2 years since SUPERBLOOM surfaced and changed our lives forever. Eternally grateful for each spirit who gathered to witness it across the earth over these last 2 years. Where did it find you? Will you find it at Lover’s Fest?
Perhaps another sound will find its way to you before the year finds its end.
