Silent Planet announce new album ‘SUPERBLOOM’
SILENT PLANET have announced a new album!
Titled SUPERBLOOM, the upcoming album from the American metalcore band is the follow-up to 2021’s Iridescent, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Solid State Records.
“I grew up in Northern California,” vocalist Garrett Russell says. “There’s a strip of the state known as Humboldt County, but it’s called the ‘Lost Cove.’ It’s a hotbed for strange and paranormal events like UFO and Big Foot sightings. There’s so much we haven’t uncovered. It’s possible our reality as we know it is not complete. We started telling the tale of a 17-year-old who went missing. It’s based on a true story with many details changed. Art dictates reality, and reality dictates art. Making this record was a very strange and mystical process. It’s the most magical and inspired moment of our career so far.”
“A SUPERBLOOM is this strange moment where brilliant fauna spring forth unexpectedly and bring forth such an array of colors, it almost feels alien in origin,” Garrett notes. “It only lasts for a couple of weeks before it’s gone. While we were recording, the SUPERBLOOM was happening. For me, the record is getting in touch with the other side and watching the strange and paranormal emerge from the mundane and profane, hence the title.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, SILENT PLANET have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Collider. The new song is the third single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Antimatter and :Signal:.
“Take all the darkness. All the vitriol, the greed and the vanity; lay it again as dust. Everything can be alchemized. This song is called Collider,” says singer Russell about the new single. “It’s about what comes out of our lives when the people we trust and hold closest are the ones who can hurt or betray us the worst. We don’t have to run from the pain or be afraid. The dark gives us the energy to make something beautiful. The song is about alchemizing the darkness and transforming its negative properties.”
