All Who Stand Opposed Will Be Destroyed

~Here's a new band that's a lot of fun to listen to: Planetoid. The three members that make up the band claim to be aliens from a thousand years in the future, who have been accidentally sent back in time and are now attempting to conquer the Earth through hard rock. They combine great sound with some very clever science-fiction (?) lyrics on their first album, Shadow of the Planetoid. For example, consider the title song, Shadow of the Planetoid:

"...and as the illusion grows, stars start to disappear.

In the spot where the sun once rose, the benighted ring of the Dyson sphere.

And every Venusian knows, the end of the world draws increasingly near.

For we are harbingers of the shadow!


All who stand opposed will be destroyed...in the shadow of the Planetoid."


You can hear four songs from the album on the Planetoid web site, and the rest on Rhapsody.
