UNFD are thrilled to announce the signing of Californian metalcore band Silent Planet to their roster worldwide (excluding North America). Alongside the signing news, Silent Planet have announced their third album, When The End Began, will officially be released on November 2.
 
Currently on tour around Australia with Make Them Suffer, the band have already given us a taste of what’s to come via their first single “Vanity of Sleep” and today they reveal “Share The Body”, a dark examination of the opioid epidemic.

Frontman Garrett Russell explains the concept behind “Share The Body” further: “Share the Body explores the brutal opioid epidemic that is ravaging communities around the world. Approaching addiction from the inside-out, our song and video attempts to follow the genesis of addiction (pharmaceutical) all the way to narcotics and subsequent overdose. Many of the lyrics and themes stem from conversations we’ve had at shows and online with our listeners. It’s our hope that this track starts difficult conversations, and inspires some who are struggling with addiction to open up and seek help.”

All creativity is a dialogue. Every song, painting, innovation or poem is just the latest statement in a conversation that is as old as human civilization. And Silent Planet intend to add to this dialogue. Weaving together topics that range from historical injustice to the existential despair of modern life, Silent Planet have a message that burns with a hardcore indignation, while coupled with progressive instrumentation.

When The End Began is available for preorder now on 24Hundred & iTunes.
