Announce new album ‘Ritual Routine’ out October 3rd.

With the global West descending into fascism and an American government hell bent on strengthening the police state and spreading egregious disinformation, the timing is as urgent as ever for Planet On A Chain to deliver another album on Revelation Records. ‘Ritual Routine’ will release on October 3rd through the pivotal hardcore label, and now Planet On A Chain deliver a three song promo, ‘Mangled And Twisted’. Recorded and mixed by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden and mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air Studios, the fast paced tracks roar with a sense of urgency and purpose. The song ‘Mangled And Twisted’ discusses the ongoing nightmare of landmines used in ground warfare and the terror they continue to force communities to suffer through years after a conflict has ended. The video for the track depicts imagery of violence in entertainment mixed with performance shots of the band. On the track, vocalist Dave Ackerman adds:

“I wrote the lyrics about ground warfare. The truth about landmines is horrible. I just wanted to focus on their use as a psychological weapon as much as their ability to kill and maim whoever comes across them. The possibility of living a life maimed or dying a painful and slow death would weigh heavy on anyone.”

Planet On A Chain is Dave (vocals), Brian (guitar), Alex (guitar), Tobia (bass), and Moses (drums).
