FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SÖNUS CRACK TOP 10 ON DOOM CHARTS WITH “PLANES OF TORMENT”

San Francisco heavy outfit SÖNUS have landed at #7 on the Doom Charts with their latest release Planes of Torment , marking a major breakout moment for the self-released record.

The album, a raw and unfiltered seven-track statement of heavy intent, has been praised for its “live in the studio” energy, old-school songwriting spirit, and the tight chemistry of the band’s current power-trio lineup. Blending heavy metal, stoner, doom, and proto influences, Planes of Torment has been described as sounding like a collision of The Cult, Danzig, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience in full flight.

Critic Rich Piva highlighted the release as an “underdog Album of the Year candidate,” calling attention to its authenticity and heavyweight presence in today’s doom and heavy underground landscape.

This milestone placement on the Doom Charts positions SÖNUS as one of the most talked-about rising acts in the scene right now, with Planes of Torment continuing to gain momentum among fans, critics, and underground tastemakers alike.

More to come as the record continues its climb.
