Shadow of Jupiter

Stoner/Doom/Heavy Psych from Chicago

Clean Vocals. Dirty Riffs!

Ripple Music Artist, 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 compliment their heavy, riff-driven scores. Author of Sonic Seducer and heavy underground music critic, Sunil Singh called Shadow of Jupiter, “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 number 20 on the monthly Doom Charts and number 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 have also had the honor to have been invited to and perform at Ripplefest Texas in Austin, TX, Rhune Mountain Festival in Ontario, Canada, Grand Rapids Doomfest in Michigan, and HUFR Fest in Denver, CO.

Their sophomore album, BONES is slated for release on Ripple Music on July 10, 2026.

Metal Talk Review

shadow of jupiter live at ripplefest texas

World-renown author & Metal Talk critic, Sunil Singh gives high praise to Shadow of Jupiter and their fiery set at Ripplefest Texas!

"I have seen tons of opening bands, but what this Chicago-based quartet brought to the Yellow stage in almost oppressive heat deserves some kind of medal. The attitude/vibe was set almost immediately, with lead singer John Piotrowski sporting a Robin Trower shirt.

Shirts matter. In this case, to pay homage to the mighty guitarist who gave us the epic album Bridge Of Sighs, you know the delivery of whatever amalgam of stoner/doom is going to come at you is going to be a soulful and righteous as fuck.

Did not disappoint. Colin Peterson, who I enthusiastically met the first night, was playing like he won the lottery (we all did being at Ripple). So much energy was released by this opening set–and their super cool merch, specially designed for RippleFest, perfectly reflected the attitude and aura of Shadow Of Jupiter.

Fury blues. That is the best way to describe their set. Well done, gents. Well done."

“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 an album with a sound that is as current as it is vintage with soulful bluesy vocals, that hark 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.”
