Based in Minsk, Belarus, two previous albums by alternative metal act Mission Jupiter have hinted at their potential to be one of the few bands from that territory to achieve lift-off worldwide. Having recruited powerhouse singer Kate Varsak prior to writing and recording their upcoming third album, ‘Aftermath’, the result is a set of dramatic, epic songs with modern production values that should see them soar. ‘Bittersweet (Love Song)’ is out today as the final single to be teased from the new album. “It is about a woman who thinks about her perfect man and visualises their romantic relationship”, the band explain. “She hasn’t found him yet, but already has butterflies in her stomach. What an inspiring feeling!” The song boasts a shimmering melody, a poignant lyric and a rousing guitar solo. Four previous singles have paved the way for the new album, with ’Sometimes It Hurts’, ‘Human Nature’, ‘Self-Destruction’ and ‘Crippled Country’ all having been issued in recent months. Prog magazine praised the first of these as “a soaring slice of uplifting and dramatic melodic prog” and that ‘Human Nature’ “displays the far-reaching appeal of a band who mix atmospheric prog, the darker undercurrents of Cocteau Twins and up-tempo alternative metal.” Metal Talk described the same song as being “swamped by wonderful moods and melodies, all wrapped around a stunning female voice.” Set for release on 20th June, ‘Aftermath’ is packed with further gems. Fans of alternative and hard rock, progressive rock and metal, and even Eurovision-esque crossover rock (on ‘Jak Spyniajecca Bol’, recorded in the group’s mother tongue and translated as ‘How The Pain Stops’) will also be wowed by Mission Jupiter’s new songs, which combine sounds, moods and melodies all wrapped around a stunning female voice that will leave listeners breathless!
