Gruppe Planet - Travel to Uncertain Grounds (2020) EN

Gruppe Planet is a German post-rock band that, although its members have already a lot of music experience, is debuting now with an LP, as far as I can tell. And you could safely say that Travel to Uncertain Grounds has everything to be called at least a good release.

It starts with a slowly developing post-rock epopee in the title track Travel to Uncertain Grounds. Tons of atmosphere that's built by the long intro and finally the explosion of the loud finale that maybe not crushing the spines but leaves a good impression at least. Next tracks are more coarse guitar-like, being ruled by more classic metal guitar riffs or dominating drums that both are, however, slightly covered by the omnipresent semi-darkness mood.

The album has the moments of being close to atmospheric post-rock while in some other there are oldschool metal or hard rock inspirations easier to spot, like in Bullhead. Needless to say, I prefer the former. Or the ones that combine both worlds like the impressive finish in Mirai.

Travel to Uncertain Grounds costs 7 EUR.
