About

Planet Eater takes their name from the original nemesis of humanity Galactus, the destroyer of worlds. Planet Eater has risen from the barren prairies, spreading their influence into Western Canada as well as gaining recognition in parts of the US, UK and Russia. The sound of Planet Eater is as unique as it is familiar, blending thrash and death metal with crushing grooves and devastating vocals. Hints of Morbid Angel, Converge and Bolt Thrower can be found with elements of Sepultura, Strapping Young Lad and Gojira embedded at the core. Hitting the stage with intensity, ability and all the heavy, Planet Eaters' live show captivates the eyes and forces the uncontrolled and eternal headbang of the helpless metal-head.

Hailing from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, Planet Eater is comprised of Luc Hart, (guitar), Donovan Turner, (vocals), Troy Bleich (bass /vocals) Devin Ubell (guitar) and Nick Eichhorst (drums).

In Jan of 2015 Luc Hart recorded and Planet Eater released their first self titled EP. This album made significant waves with its unpredictable blend of death, thrash, groove, progressive riffing. Using the album as a tool, Planet Eater earned slots on numerous festivals across western Canada in 2015-16. These festivals included Loud as Hell, Armstrong Metal Fest, Calgary Metal Fest, Shreddmonton Metal Fest, Manitoba Metal Fest and Metal Wizard Fest with many shows in between.

Using an aggressive and unique approach to merchandising and marketing Planet Eater continues to leave its mark wherever it travels. These merchandise sales help finance the many tours across Canada, including their first music video, Burn in to the Ground off their self titled 2015 release. Garnering thousands of views, Burn it to the Ground continues to spread the word of the Planet Eater.

Planet Eater used these festivals and numerous shows to gradually hone their sound and define their identity as the band they are today. In winter of 2016 Planet Eater returned to the studio to begin recording the follow up full length release, Blackness From The Stars. Blackness From the Stars delves deeper into the initial styles of the band, incorporating a percussive and primal natures while creating dark, layered, and atmospheric grooves.

With a new album in tow, Planet Eater descends yet again into the heart of Western Canada to reek havoc and debauchery. Slated to play numerous dates including Armstrong Metal Festival and Load as Hell for the third consecutive year, Planet Eater is poised to make waves in 2017 and beyond.
