Ruby The Hatchet releases "Planetary Space Child"

RUBY THE HATCHET will release their new album, Planetary Space Child, on August 25 via Tee Pee Records.

Recorded in an 1800's era estate deep in the Pennsylvania woods with engineers Joe Boldizar (Retro City Studios), Zach Goldstein (Kawari Sound), and the band’s own Sean Hur, Planetary Space Child reflects the unique process of its creation. The product of several weeks of self-imposed isolation, the record showcases seven richly layered songs that unite heavy, doomy psychedelia with acid-rock, proto-prog and melodic, hypnotic songcraft complete with looming organ flourishes and rolling vocal harmonies that imbue an infectious aura.

Taking advantage of the century-plus-old manor’s natural acoustics, inherent eeriness and a custom built control room, Planetary Space Child sees the band elevate their sound to new hallucinogenic heights with layers of experimentation and a weighty, undeniable sonic pallette that is dark, lush and impervious to mimicry. With a bouncy creepiness, the album's bulk forges a hypnotic, head-nodding nirvana while electric vocalist Jillian Taylor spins haunting tales of death and dreams, her voice layered in hazy smoke that infuses the sound of the band with an otherworldly element.

Jillian Taylor commented: "From content to creation, this album is like nowhere we've been before. The last two years have been spent traveling, playing and pushing; both on the road and within ourselves. Planetary Space Child is the culmination of that work."

About RUBY THE HATCHET:

Psychedelic space rockers RUBY THE HATCHET are one of heavy music’s finest on-the-rise bands. Evoking a decade’s worth of growth and maturity gained in just a few short years, the genesis from the band’s 2011 self-titled EP to present day has been nothing short of stunning. Forming after a series of New Jersey basement practices, this doomy quintet bring an organ-driven Deep Purple groove, wailing female vocal harmonies and fuzzy guitar and bass tones that are nostalgic, but not dated. RUBY THE HATCHET conjure occult-flavored, evil hard rock with hypnotic and mythical lyrics into a witches' brew of ominous, wild rock sounds. The band's sophomore LP, Valley of the Snake was released in 2015 and catapulted the group into the ears and consciousness of the global heavy music scene. After two years of heavy worldwide touring, which saw RUBY THE HATCHET hit the road with Black Mountain, Earthless, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats and The Sword, the quintet recorded their new LP, Planetary Space Child, set for release on August 25, 2017.

With Planetary Space Child, RUBY THE HATCHET have defined themselves as more than current—they’ve become all encompassing—toeing the line between past and present, and pushing towards the outer reaches of their unique psych-rock universe. They’re moving forward, relentlessly and without compromise. With this latest release, it’s clear that RUBY THE HATCHET aren’t just staying present or looking ahead—they’re simply breaking away.

RUBY THE HATCHET features vocalist Jillian Taylor, guitarist Johnny Scarps, bassist Lake Muir, drummer Owen Stewart and organist Sean Hur.
