Silent Planet‘s “Panic Room” music video has officially been released. Vocalist Garret Russell said of the track:
“‘Panic Room‘ examines the inner reality of the soldier after suffering instances of violence, hierarchy, and resulting cognitive dissonance. The song was inspired by a close friend of the band who shared his story with me while we were in studio working on this record.
The song attempts to examine with a greater culture of war, held aloft by politicians who patronize soldiers as talking points while cutting bills that could provide soldiers with mental health services and entering into needless, preventable armed conflict. ‘Panic Room‘ tells the story of one veteran who attempts to retain his sense of humanity while being suspicious of his role as a cog in the history’s strongest war machine.”
A July 01st release date has been set for Silent Planet‘s Will Putney (The Acacia Strain, Miss May I) produced new album “Everything Was Sound” on Solid State Records. Pre-orders are now up at silentplanet.band. The band will be appearing on this year’s ‘Vans Warped Tour‘ from June 24th through to July 17th.
