“Yeah, if I started a band, it would be Shadow of Jupiter. The only problem is: can they live up to (painfully) controlled and strategic releases? I don’t think they’ve reached peak anticipation with the general fans of Stoner/Doom, but a lot of my colleagues sure are beginning to talk.” - Scott Spiers, Editor in Chief, cleanandsoberstoner.com
“shadow of jupiter'S PORTA COELI IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN MUSICIANS COME TOGETHER FROM A DIVERSE ARRAY OF MUSICAL BACKGROUNDS WITH A SHARED LOVE OF HEAVY ROCK MUSIC; IT IS AN ALBUM WITH A SOUND THAT IS AS CURRENT AS IT IS VINTAGE WITH SOULFUL, BLUESY VOCALS, THAT HARKEN BACK TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF ROCK, VYING WITH CRUNCHY DARK GROOVES BORN FROM THE POST-SABBATH STONER AND DOOM ERA. IF THIS ALBUM DOES NOT SEND SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE, THEN THERE IS HIGH PROBABILITY YOU DON'T HAVE ONE.”
-FRAZER JONES (DOOM CHARTS, DESERT PSYCHLIST)
DOOM CHARTS: SEPTEMBER, 2023
shadow of jupiter's first full release, porta coeli, in september of 2023 immediately caught the attention of the stoner/doom/heavy psych community around the world!
placing respectfully not only in the september doom charts rankings, porta coeli, made an appearance in the best of 2023 rankings.
with all the buildup beginning with the release of daisy cutter in early 2023, along with the 4/20 release of shadow of jupiter's tribute to one of stoner rock's earliest anthems, robin trower's bridge of sighs, the success and accolades of porta coeli has placed shadow of jupiter in the prestigious spot of being the local support for stoner legends, the obsessed, when they play reggies rock club in downtown chicago, along with howling giant and gozu.
shadow of jupiter is stoked to have been tapped to warm up for the legends of doom, the obsessed, in support of their upcoming release on ripple music, gilded sorrow. info and tickets here
we are incredibly humbled to have made desert psychlist's end of year list!!!
