Planet Alliance is a project-band where several respected, high class musicians were carefully selected in order to participate in the line-up. The musical direction is melodic hardrock/metal with strong hooklines.Mike Andersson (Cloudscape) and Magnus Karlsson (Last Tribe, Starbreaker, Allen/Lande Project) started to compose songs for Planet Alliance in early 2005. Bob Daisley (Gary Moore, ex Ozzy Osbourne) and Janne Stark (Locomotive Breath, Overdrive) were also invited to contribute with songs in order to complete the setlist. Anders Johansson (Hammerfall, ex Yngwie J. Malmsteen) and Jaime Salazar (Last Tribe, Allen/Lande Project, ex Flower Kings) was asked to share the drum responsibilities and shortly thereafter also Magnus Rosén (Hammerfall) and Bob Daisley joined to share the bass responsibilities.
Except for Magnus Karlsson on guitar there are another 3 guitarists that perform on the album. Each guitarist has their own style and puts their own personal flavour which has made a very exciting vibe to the album and all guitarists are very different from one another stylewise. Those guitarists are Carl-Johan Grimmark (Narnia, Rob Rock), Mattias “IA” Eklundh (Freak Kitchen) and Janne Stark.
The album was produced, recorded and mixed by Anders Theander (“Theo”) at the famous Roastinghouse Studio AB in Malmoe, Sweden.
