Planet Gemini was founded in 1997 by Hellion (Guitar/Vocals) and Josh (Bass) in Boston, Massachusetts. Under the guise of being a band who gives their music away over the internet for free. Their first "Official" release 13 (Released on July 13th 2002) was made available to download in full. Along with album artwork, inlay art and CD label art for their fans to print up themselves. Their sophomore release Cauldron of Fuzz recorded from leftovers of the 13 album and was originally slated to be an EP release. The original plan was for them to go into the studio and record all night to put 3 new songs onto the EP for their own collection. They wrote 5 songs the first night and followed it up the next weekend. Without any sleep they improvised another whole album and would continue the tradition of writing the Cauldron of Fuzz albums under heavy sleep deprivation.

In 2006 Planet Gemini announced that they will be releasing their album Legacy. Marking their 10 year anniversarry. The album will feature Jeff "Oly" Olson of the Chicago Doom based band Trouble on half of the album and on the other half of the album they have attained the services of Vinny Appice former drummer of bands such as Black Sabbath and Dio.

Planet Gemini produce a much more groove oriented doom metal that is more Mid-Tempo breaking the traditional rules of slowed down doom metal. Influences include Black Sabbath, Trouble, Candlemass...
