Artist: PLAN E
Album: Best Kept Secret
Year: 2004

When My Kingdom Music’s label chief Francesco told me that Finnish band Plan E might fit on my homepage well, I decided to do some research. I found out that this band has got some connections with Impaled Nazarene (ex-members and stuff), so I didn’t expect this band to fit on IndustrializedMetal.tk that well. Although, when I listened to the music, I discovered some cold, industrial doom metal. And, although I am not a big doom metal fan, I was impressed. Next step: an album review.

Their currently latest release is called Best Kept Secret. The concept for this record is easy: slow, cold, pretty technical doom metal with a little industrial. With vocals which remind me to Malaise, they have created an atmospheric album. Normally, I am not a big fan of this kind of music, but Plan E has caught me in it’s gentle storm. All tracks are build with the same concept, although all tracks are different from each other. Best track on this record has to be the first track if you ask me (Fool). This track has the atmosphere, and the vocals are used on its best. There is one thing I don’t really get, and that is a thing written on the back of the cd. It says: “shuffle play recommended.” I have no idea what is meant with this, but it is all about the music, and the music is excellent. Some final words? If you like doom and industrial, Plan E is your band. And if you don’t like industrial doom, try this out and let them surprise you as well!
