December 4, 2025 0

Planet Hunter, the cosmic heavy-rock band hailing from New Zealand, is making a grand return with their latest single ‘1000 Years From Now’. This song is a powerful blend of stoner-grunge music that serves as a sneak peek of what fans can expect from their upcoming album, Soothsayer, set to be officially released worldwide next month.

Originally emerging from the vibrant music scene of Wellington, the band, consisting of William Saunders on guitar, Cormac Ferris on vocals, Jedaiah Van Ewijk on bass, and David McGurk on drums, is known for their electrifying live performances that never fail to captivate audiences. Their music is a unique fusion of earthly sounds with a touch of otherworldly essence, earning them a reputation for music that feels both familiar and alien at the same time.

The band’s signature style is characterized by explosive guitar riffs, a formidable rhythm section, and a stage presence that exudes a mix of dramatic flair, controlled chaos, and transcendental motifs. ‘1000 Years From Now’ exemplifies Planet Hunter’s musical prowess, with Saunders’ guitar work balancing between dark intensity and melodic harmonies, enveloped in their trademark blend of raw power, subtle humor, and deep cosmic themes.

This single marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band, leading up to the release of Soothsayer, the highly anticipated follow-up to their debut album, Moscovium, which was recorded in the outskirts of Newtown near the Wellington Zoo. The upcoming album is described as a sonic reflection of life in New Zealand’s capital city, encompassing its gritty realism, unconventional beauty, frenetic energy, and pulsating heartbeat. While Moscovium embodied a surge of energetic doom-grunge vibes, Soothsayer is poised to offer a prophetic glimpse into the future.

With the release of ‘1000 Years From Now’ and the imminent arrival of Soothsayer, Planet Hunter is gearing up to introduce a new era of their musical journey, promising fans an even greater display of musical prowess, innovative creativity, and relentless dedication to crafting unforgettable riffs. Fans can anticipate the official worldwide release of Soothsayer on 30th January 2026 via Sharkhound, with pre-orders available now.
