Every once in a while, wildflowers will sprout en masse in the middle
of the California desert. Known as a “SUPERBLOOM,” this
phenomenon paints lush colors across a traditionally arid and barren
landscape. The emergence and evolution of Silent Planet mirrors this
phenomenon. Since 2009, the California quartet—Garrett Russell
[vocals, guitar], Mitchell Stark [guitar], Alex Camerena [drums], and
Nick Pocock [bass]—have set themselves apart in the realm of heavy
music. Amplifying hypnotic hooks across alternately raw and rich
soundscapes steeped in hardcore, post-rock, metal, and ambient
textures, the award-winning group has generated tens of millions of
streams and earned tastemaker praise.
