Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Fantastic Planet' is a massively ambitious, heavily distorted space-rock concept album exploring the bleak depths of heroin addiction. Failure engineers an incredibly melodic, atmospheric alternative rock sound that masterfully blends post-hardcore aggression with somber, drug-induced psychedelia.
