With punishing riffs and a fiery energy that leave you staggered yet always drawn back for more, Bones weaves together the depth of doom metal, lumbering heavy blues grooves, a searing touch of psychedelia and Middle Eastern magic into a journey that’s as immersive as it is brutal.

Crowning this towering cathedral of trippy, slow-burning doom, and already a trademark of the SOJ sound, vocalist John Piotrowski delivers a 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, barely keeping the wheels on the road as each song rips ahead. An album that will enthrall fans of everything from Trouble to Corrosion of Conformity and Wo Fat!

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.
