Fury of a Dying Planet, a commanding musical force driven by frustration and anger towards the present global situation, is captivating audiences with their latest offering, “Repetition To Extinction.” With the initial single amassing close to 20,000 streams and the second track edging towards 10,000 shortly after its online release, these songs are profoundly resonating with an expanding listener base.
“Repetition To Extinction” emerges as an unwavering indictment of humanity’s self-absorption and apathy, while the planet teeters on the brink of catastrophe. In a world often preoccupied with trivial matters, Fury of a Dying Planet casts a spotlight on the critical concerns that genuinely demand attention – the planet’s well-being and our shared responsibility to protect it.
Doug, the visionary propelling Fury of a Dying Planet, articulates his frustration, asserting, “Each day, I witness headlines crowded with people’s grievances about matters of negligible real significance. The hidden escapades of celebrities, the cost of trendy brands. Nevertheless, these concerns will fade to insignificance if we fail to provide sustenance for our families or if the air we breathe becomes unbreathable. Nurturing the planet is tantamount to safeguarding our own prosperity. Neglecting it will usher in our demise. However, it appears that few of us heed this reality, as we’re preoccupied with matters like vacations or acquiring the latest fleeting fashion trend.”
The genesis of Fury of a Dying Planet stemmed from Doug Rimington’s reaction to the Netflix documentary “Seaspiracy.” Injecting his earlier demos with righteous anger and eco-conscious lyrics, he crafted a compelling collection of six tracks. This project seamlessly weaves progressive metal elements, intricate melodies, and captivating sonic layers that command the listener’s attention.
Paul Brigstock (Blacklight Vice), recognized for his authoritative rock vocals, entered the scene through a mutual connection with session drummer Chris Allan. Their collaborative synergy heightened the project’s sonic intensity, amplifying its impact.
Bec Dennison of Bullet on a String, a visual artist attuned to the message’s urgency, conceived the main logo symbolizing the fading vitality of our planet. Additionally, she embarked on a trilogy of 80s-themed poster designs, each inspired by a distinct FoaDP track. This visual accompaniment interweaves with the music, heightening its impact and crafting a multisensory experience.
Doug, a London-based musician and producer lauded for his contributions to Heart Through Sacrifice, Voodoo Diamond, and The Superhelix, meticulously curated every facet of the music. He composed, performed, and produced the tracks, while session drummer Chris Allan managed drum engineering and co-mixing. The finishing touch of mastering was deftly executed by Justin Hill (Heart of a Coward, The Five Hundred, SikTh), culminating in a sonically immersive journey.
Fury of a Dying Planet’s “Repetition To Extinction” transcends mere music; it serves as a clarion call. Amidst the clamor of day-to-day trivialities, this release implores listeners to recognize the planet’s anguish and their own role in it. Doug’s message reverberates urgently: “Caring for the planet guarantees its reciprocity. Allowing it to suffer paves the way for collective downfall. Yet, few of us contemplate this reality, instead consumed by transient concerns like vacations or fleeting fashion trends.”
As Fury of a Dying Planet boldly confronts the impending crisis through “Repetition To Extinction,” they underscore the pressing necessity for change, sparking a call to action that reverberates far beyond the confines of music.
