Out of the Silent Planet is the debut studio
by the American progressive metal band King's
X, released in 1988.
The title of the album comes from that of
a book by C.S. Lewis, an author favored by
band members Ty Tabor and Jerry Gaskill.
"Out of the Silent Planet" is also the title
of the first track from the follow up album
Gretchen Goes to Nebraska.
The cover art features the skyline of Houston
with the southern outline of the state of
Texas.
