Page "Planet X (band)" Paragraph 4

The band's style has been described as " metal fusion ", with Sherinian stating that his intention upon founding Planet X was " to find musicians that played their instruments so fiercely, it would strike fear in the hearts of other musicians when they played ".

Their compositions are predominantly instrumental, save for the one-time spoken word by Dick Smothers, Jr. on the fifth track of Universe.

Each composition typically comprises numerous and frenetic changes in time signature, with very heavy guitar work ( including the use of seven-string guitars ) and dense layering of all instruments.
