Mission Jupiter


Hailing from Minsk, Belarus, Mission Jupiter have long teased their potential to become an international force in alternative metal and progressive rock. With two well-received albums already under their belts, the band have honed their sound and vision to perfection — and in powerhouse vocalist Kate Varsak, they’ve found the final missing piece. Her arrival ahead of their forthcoming third album, ‘Aftermath’, has sparked a new era for the band, and the results are nothing short of thrilling.


They unveil ‘Bittersweet (Love Song)’, the final single ahead of the album’s release — and it’s an exquisite example of Mission Jupiter’s atmospheric grandeur and emotional reach.


“It’s about a woman who imagines her perfect man and visualizes their romantic relationship,” the band explain. “She hasn’t found him yet, but already has butterflies in her stomach. What an inspiring feeling!”


The track’s shimmering melody and poignant lyric capture the very essence of that breathless anticipation. As the song unfolds, Varsak’s voice — rich with longing and vulnerability — soars above a backdrop of lush instrumentation and a rousing guitar solo that injects a final surge of electricity.


This isn’t just a love song; it’s a testament to the band’s ability to craft music that feels simultaneously personal and universal. The interplay of moody atmospherics and bright melodic flashes create an immersive experience that’s hard to resist.


‘Aftermath’, set for release on June 20th, promises to be the band’s most ambitious and rewarding work yet. It’s an album that will resonate with fans of alternative and hard rock, progressive metal, and even Eurovision-esque crossover anthems.


The inclusion of tracks like ‘Jak Spyniajecca Bol’ — a haunting piece recorded in the band’s native Belarusian and translated as ‘How The Pain Stops’ — further showcases Mission Jupiter’s fearless commitment to weaving diverse musical threads into a rich, cohesive tapestry.


What emerges from these new songs is a band fully in command of their creative powers, seamlessly blending moods, textures, and soaring melodies. Mission Jupiter have always hinted at greatness — now, with ‘Aftermath’, they’re ready to claim it.


If ‘Bittersweet (Love Song)’ is any indication, this is an album that will leave listeners spellbound — an epic journey that confirms Mission Jupiter as one of the most exciting and emotionally resonant bands to emerge from Eastern Europe in recent years.


Prepare to be swept away.
