Midwest-based Doom Rockers Shadow Of Jupiter share the crushing debut single off their upcoming sophomore full length “Bones,” to be released on July 10th through Ripple Music.
Stream new single “Echo Chamber” via the Spotify player below:
“Bones” weaves together the depth of doom metal, lumbering Heavy Blues, a searing touch of Psychedelia and Middle Eastern magic into a journey that’s as immersive as it is brutal. Its punishing riffs and fiery energy will leave you staggered, yet always drawn back for more.
Though “Bones” explores a wide spectrum of styles, vocalist John Piotrowski delivers a mind-bendingly soulful performance that ties the whole album story together. From the frantic fury of “Whatever God You Fear” to the Molotov energy of “Riot Dogs,” his voice gives Shadow of Jupiter its signature sound, one that is unmistakable on every song. Guitarist Colin Peterson channels the expansive power of late ‘60s and early ‘70s songwriting, filtered through an aggression born from today’s chaotic social and political climate. Bassist Scott Brakebill lurks in the Dark underbelly, expanding and commanding the entire framework. Drummer Adam Kazragys drives the band like a bus speeding downhill with no brakes, abusing his kit without mercy yet always holding it together, barely keeping the wheels on the road as each song rips ahead.
Shadow Of Jupiter “Bones” — Out July 10th on Ripple Music (LP/CD/digital) – Pre-Order
Shadow of Jupiter is a Chicago/NW Indiana-based outfit whose roots run deep in the Heavy underground. From proto-Doom to the Heavy, Stoner sounds of the 70’s, their unique combination of soulful vocals complements their Heavy, riff-driven scores. Author of “Sonic Seducer” and Heavy underground music critic Sunil Singh dubbed their music “Fury Blues”, perfectly acknowledging their blend of Robin Trower’s tasty tones mated with the bleak melancholy of Sabbath and the anger of Corrosion of Conformity.
Their 2023 self-released album, “Porta Coeli,” placed at #20 on the monthly Doom Charts and #19 on Desert Psychlist’s Best of 2023. These accolades propelled Shadow of Jupiter into the sonic jetstream with incredible shows as the supporting act for many highly acclaimed national and international Heavy underground bands touring through Chicago. Shadow of Jupiter also performed at Ripplefest Texas, Rhune Mountain Festival, Grand Rapids Doomfest and HUFR Fest.
