New Single & Video by Belarusian Alternative Metal Band MISSION JUPITER

Formed in Minsk, Belarus, two previous album releases by alternative/progressive metal group Mission Jupiter have hinted that they have the potential to be one of the few acts from that territory to achieve lift-off worldwide. Having recruited powerhouse singer Kate Varsak before writing and recording their upcoming third album, “Aftermath“, the result is a set of dramatic, epic songs with thoroughly modern production values that should see them soar.

The first single from the record, ‘Sometimes It Hurts’, was issued in October and described by Prog magazine as “a soaring slice of uplifting and dramatic melodic prog.” Its follow-up, ‘Human Nature’, has been released and ratchets up the cinematic aspect of the group’s sound. Boasting a Bond-like quality, with subtle shifts in tone and dripping with atmosphere, it isn’t hard to imagine Adele having a hit with this if she were in a hard-edged alternative rock band.

Describing the meaning behind the song, the group states: “People tend to be divided and not to look beyond their own doorstep, which is a major problem. This song asks if we are able to be less selfish and greedy to try and overcome this typical aspect of human nature, or at the very least attempt to be better?”

Scheduled for release in May, “Aftermath” is packed with further gems. Fans of alternative and hard rock, prog, metal, and even Eurovision-esque crossover rock with a Cocteau Twins twist (on ‘Jak Spyniajecca Bol’, recorded in the group’s mother tongue and translated as ‘How The Pain Stops’) will also be wowed by the group’s new songs. Combining sounds, moods, and melodies wrapped around a stunning female voice, will leave a listener breathless.
