The opening act

Standing on the shoulders of the musical giants that came before them, 9th Planet is picking up where the legends left off. Based out of Minnesota, 9th Planet is swiftly rising to the forefront of the music industry. Drawing influence from a variety of heavy music, the group's style is best described as aggressive rock. A combination of clean vocals and screams, intricate guitar work, and thunderous rhythms bring a familiar yet fresh sound to the world of music. Additionally, 9th Planet's live show is a staple in their image. 9th Planet pushes the outer limits of modern music.
