Heavy riffs, crushing grooves, and fierce, blues-soaked vocals. Planet Fatale occupy the darker side of heavy rock, delivering a powerful blues-metal sound.  

​

“There is variety here from blues rockers to straight metal and the musicianship is excellent” - Powerplay Magazine

 

Formed in Cambridge, UK in 2019, the five-piece released their debut album The Cycle Repeats in 2021, produced by Russ Russell (Napalm Death, The Wildhearts, Raging Speedhorn). Known for commanding and ferocious live performances, they have played over 100 gigs across the UK and earned a reputation for tight, road-tested sets.

 

“you get a blast of heavy almost stoner guitars in your ears with a vocal sound that hits you in the gut and claws it’s way into your brain.” - CyderBaby

 

“..touches on Iron Maiden styled charges and guitarwork but throws in some old school Pantera thrash into the mix.” - MetalTalk 

 

“Highly Recommended Listening, all killer, no filler… 10/10” - Black Phoenix Metal Forum

 

​

Their second album, recorded with Grammy-winning producer Mike Exeter (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest), is due for release in 2026. A major milestone in their journey, the record sharpens their blues-metal identity and captures where Planet Fatale are now: heavier, tighter, and more ambitious than ever.

 

2026 promises to be a defining year as the band pushes into their boldest era yet.

“a rampant Metal monster… slashing out riffs intended to lacerate… Hels Johnson’s.. [vocal] cuts through, Boudicca leading her tribe, the effect reminiscent of the seismic impression that Bruce Dickinson made when first heard with Iron Maiden.… ‘Working Girl’ taps into Steve Harris’s troupe amongst the groove-filled drive and sledgehammer attack, whilst ‘Shotgun Riders’ and the epically sweeping ‘Violation’ take their cues from the Metallica school of riffage.…” - Fireworks Magazine
