Visual Kei veterans Jupiter have returned to the spotlight with a sound that’s darker, heavier, and more celestial than ever. Their new single, “Ecliptic,” is a roaring J-Rock masterpiece that tears through the atmosphere with relentless energy and symphonic intensity. Known for their blend of metal, classical composition, and stunning visual aesthetics, Jupiter continues to raise the bar for Japan’s alternative rock scene with this latest offering.
“Ecliptic” wastes no time launching into its dramatic soundscape—offering thunderous drums, sweeping guitar solos, and soaring vocals that shift between haunting melodies and guttural screams. From its first note, the track feels like a cosmic ritual, pulling listeners into a swirling vortex of sound that reflects the song’s namesake: the invisible line that marks the Earth’s celestial orbit. It’s an epic metaphor for fate, darkness, and transcendence—all cornerstones of Visual Kei.
Formed by ex-members of the legendary band Versailles, Jupiter has always carried an air of grandeur. With “Ecliptic,” they don’t just embrace their roots—they amplify them. The track is a reminder that Visual Kei isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a force of emotion, philosophy, and sonic storytelling. The band’s signature blend of neo-classical flourishes and crushing metal riffs reaches new heights here, proving that after more than a decade in the game, Jupiter is still innovating.
With “Ecliptic,” Jupiter has once again cemented themselves as one of the most powerful forces in the Japanese Visual Kei and J-Rock universe. The track’s combination of progressive structure, brutal breakdowns, and virtuosic instrumentals will resonate with fans of both classic VK and modern metal. If you haven’t already added this to your playlist, it’s time to orbit this release on repeat.
