Dead Planet sees the Detroit-area band continue to slow down its metallic hardcore and soar through outerspace, a trajectory it has been on since its debut EP, 2012’s We Are Not Humanity. On Dead Planet, Hollow Earth owns this sound. The album is an epic trip, informed by the lurching doom-core of Neurosis and the space-rock of Failure. Heavy and poignant and ever advancing forward, it is the sound of hurtling through endless expanses. In fact, Dead Planet’s lyrics tell the story of a sci-fi tale the band created, picking up where the early 2016 EP, Parting Remains, left off. Over the mesmerizing weight of “Astral Dominion,” the album’s first words resound: “Astral dominion of the untold beyond / the radial point of human mastery / buried in darkness, no anchor to drag / I have become the man I was meant to be.” Dead Planet is a journey, in every sense.

“Moody, tribal, and groovy… One of the finest metallic hardcore acts on the scene today.”
