The music of the demo started around mid april as a really fast paced power/progressive metal tune. During late May, and as effects kept coming from Navis, we realised that the ambience of the demo was not really compatible with the raw energy of the tune, thus on the first of June we decided to scrap the tune completely and start from scratch, this time with a more ambient sound. Leviathan came up with a sorta gothic/country/hawaian sound as an experiment, which I took inspiration from and started by taking advantage of the gothic part. We spent numerous hours on the “drawing” board going through stages, changes and details until we pretty much finalised what the music would be. Once the synth, drums and the rest of the instruments and effects parts were over, we recorded the guitar parts during the last days of July, and on the 1st of August we finished with the mixing and polishing.

Planet Risk follows a more progressive metal genre compared to last year’s “I am you” and we believe that it is more mature in terms of composition, atmosphere and production values (Hello Wonder =) ) considering the limited gear we have. I think it is destined to create large controversy among the listeners as not everyone is really fond of more puncy sounds that include heavy distorted guitars. Nevertheless, we hope that those who like the genre will enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed composing it.
