Doom enthusiasts, here’s reason to rejoice. Cvlt Nation has premiered Brazilian doom/sludge overlords Jupiterian’s release of an obliterating official video for their Earthling Bloodline track. It’s an age of immensely immersive art and entertainment, and music videos like the one we are sharing with you today delve into the the dark, angst-ridden recesses of the mind, both musically and visually. It suffices to say, the audiovisual presentation is simultaneously both, a treat to relish, and an overdose to settle down into. You can watch the video and read what Cvlt Nation had to say about the track AT THIS LINK. An excerpt –
“Earthling Bloodline” inspires me with the fear and fragility of the human race, and makes me think about how many of us are clawing our way through life in a state of constant terror and paranoia and how that mentality serves our overlords so well.”
The track is from the band’s ‘Protosapien’ album (releasing 11 September, 2020), reviews for which you can read below:

Jupiterian are back after releasing their groundbreaking album ‘Terraforming’ which was akin to the sound of tectonic plates shifting. In the aftermath of that event, a new revelation has been unearthed – their magnum opus ‘Protosapien’. It slices through the ominous atmospheric murk of the band’s previous effort and in an almost primitive yet strangely evolved manner, goes for the jugular. Jupiterian rise as a mythical creature, imbibing everything that transpired and distilling it all to create something highly potent, dense and sonically immeasurable. This is the sound of titans. Jupiterian have created a form of harrowing, otherworldly sludge/doom metal that lumbers on erratically, carving their own path, trampling on anything that dares stand in their way. There is little left to do other than cower in fear. Bow down before your new overlords.
