The first Planetshakers conference took place in 1997. Since then the Australian worship team serving the event have gained an international following through 25 albums (including 14 live recordings) and numerous tours. This, their latest release, follows in the footsteps of last year's studio set 'Nothing Is Impossible'. Produced again by Joth Hunt (who leads worship on many songs here along with Sam Evans), high octane rock kicks in on track one with "Supernatural" with guitar playing that would feel at home in any rock concert. "Good To Me" could simply be described as infectious worship with a driving beat and an anthem audience response. "Do It Again" is led with drums - guaranteed to move the most complacent listener, before the chorus firmly implants itself in the brain! As on previous albums there are some atmospheric ballads here as well, the most outstanding being "Hallelujah To The Lord". The DVD accompanying this package was produced by Chuck Peterson and features seven of the songs as well as containing an extra track "Nothing Is Impossible" which features the renowned Israel Houghton. Plus there's a 22 minute documentary on the 2011 Planetshakers tour of the USA. An outstanding worship package.

Worship is not contained on one continent; it is not held back by boundary lines or borders. And few bands know this as fully as Planetshakers. Hailing from Australia, this praise and worship band has united believers with their music around the world; from their home in Melbourne, Australia to the USA, Europe, United Kingdom, South Africa, and South East Asia.

And they continue bringing worshippers together with their 2012 release, Heal Our Land. Planetshakers are known for their dynamic, raw, contagious energy. Heal Our Land builds the momentum with this powerful worship CD/DVD that elevates praise to an electric level.
