Review
Psychostasia is the latest single from Doom/Stoner Rockers Planet Fatale from their
forthcoming second album, recorded with Mike Exeter (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest) due for release next year. The song is a great mix of Doom, Grunge, Psych and Stoner Rock with some grounded atmospherics that allows Planet Fatale to develop a classic Nineties Alt/Rock vibe on certain sections of the song.
The music can be quite frenzied but delivered with a determined approach especially when the thunderous grooves transform into a classic style of Heavy Metal that dominates the musical landscape. The excellent vocals from Hels Johnson are quite aggressive, domineering and heartfelt which constantly holds the listener’s attention.
Planet Fatale are influenced by the likes of Black Sabbath, CLUTCH and QOTSA but that’s just a small part to the whole musical story the band project on this track alone. As they do include a sublime Blues Rock and Proto-Metal dimension into their music with a song that delivers great music and creative energy from the very start. This is my first experience with the band and if the rest of the album lives up to the great potential of Psychostasia then they could have something special on their hands.
Excellent and Highly Recommended.
