Dubstep-rock crossover masterminds Blackburner are set to release second album ‘Planet Earth Attack’ on September 25 via Cleopatra/Hypnotic Records.
Featuring guest appearances from legendary Star Trek actor William Shatner and members of the prog-rock back, YES. ‘Planet Earth Attack’ further illustrates the bold creativity Blackburner has become known for crossing EDM genres of dubstep, glitch, and house with progressive rock, industrial, and noise.
Blackburner is the projct of producer/musician Skyla Talon, who first cut his teeth in music with modern metal band Killingbird in 2000, later joining Scum Of The Earth, the side project of Rob Zombie axeman Riggs in 2005. After touring the US with acts such as Hatebreed and Type O Negative, Talon began experimenting with electronic dance music production, inspired by dubstep and glitch music generated by the likes of fellow metal-head-turned-DJ Skrillex. The result was the birth of Blackburner, who released debut album ‘Feel The Burn’ earlier this year featuring electronic pioneer Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream as well as John Wesley of Porcupine Tree.
