Silent Planet have unveiled details surrounding their upcoming new album Iridescent, out November 12 via UNFD.
Today, the band also debuts the music video for their new song ‘Terminal’, available to watch here.
“Terminal was another song from this album that was inspired by my stay in a mental hospital,” says Silent Planet frontman Garrett Russell.
“For most of my life I have been a very sober person, and this song is about my experience with mind-altering medications while being in-patient. As I took my meds, I watched the world shift around me, and even my own reflection started to shift. I was met with strange visions and imagery, some of which was congruent with ancient mythology. It was during all of this that I began to wonder if the hopelessness was buried too deep for medications to solve on their own. Maybe, I wondered, this is simply the human condition.
“But above all, I hope the listener understands that our albums are meant to be understood as whole pieces, and while this song is certainly coming from my genuine experience with despair, there’s more to the Iridescent story that’s yet to be revealed. Thanks for reading.”
Last month, the band released a brand new single ‘Panopticon’, also taken from the upcoming album and was lauded by publications and fans for its musicianship and lyrical story telling.
Garrett Russell shares: “Panopticon paints a dystopian view of the future, one where technological advances have pacified the human spirit and made us apathetic in the face of an increasingly malevolent, post-singularity AI that was developed under the premise of security… ultimately becoming a tyrannical overlord.”

About SILENT PLANET
Since forming in 2009, Silent Planet – comprising vocalist Garrett Russell, bassist/vocalist Thomas Freckleton, guitarist Mitchell Stark and drummer Alex Camarena – have steadily gained traction from playing local venues throughout California and expanding to the DIY touring scene throughout the US. Over the past 10+ years, the band have gained prominence thanks to their vast array of influences, anchored by Russell’s master’s degree in psychology and field experience as a mental health therapist. This is a band that continually reaches into the hearts and minds of their fans for a connection unlike many others.
Further, Silent Planet has always been revered for their unique fusion of storytelling lyrics and modern metal and have been plotting a new chapter set against a backdrop of bleak cinematic soundscapes.
That next chapter, Iridescent is out in full Friday November 12.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
