Brazilian doom/sludge group JUPITERIAN get on Transcending Obscurity Records

By Kunal Choksi

Our first band from Brazil happens to be a special one. Jupiterian, an obscure entity playing a commendable yet intriguing form of sludge/doom, join the label to be alongside many doom bands such as Officium Triste (Netherlands), Algoma (Canada), The Slow Death (Australia), Soothsayer (Ireland), Swampcult (Netherlands), The Whorehouse Massacre (Canada), Drug Honkey (US) and lastly Altar of Betelgeuze (Finland). Their new full length is highly awaited and will see a vinyl edition as well, in addition to CD and digital.

Label owner Kunal Choksi states, “It’s my utmost pleasure to work with a band as talented as Jupiterian, from Brazil of all places, and plot the next epic release together. Their brand of sludge/doom music is absolutely mesmerizing while being crushing at the same time. Moreover, their seriousness, their attention to every detail which I found out, is extremely commendable and I’m sure their new full length album, which will be out on multiple formats, will be stupendous. Thanks to V. and the rest of the band mates for giving me this opportunity.”

Jupiterian vocalist/guitarist V. responds, “We are happy this partnership with Transcending Obscurity happened in a moment we are working on new material. The songs are coming so much better than anything we’ve ever done before and it will need a pro label to make it see the light in a proper way.”
