Only days after unveiling the first audio/video excerpts from the record, French modern metal/progressive outfit BUY JUPITER officially releases ‘EARTH’, the long-awaited new album concluding the ambitious science-fiction narrative the band has been developing since 2013.
Inspired by Isaac Asimov’s short story of the same name, BUY JUPITER has spent more than a decade building an interconnected conceptual universe through ‘Departure’ (2016), ‘Crossworlds’ (2017) and ‘Eclipse’ (2019). With ‘EARTH’, the final chapter finally unfolds.
Dense, immersive and uncompromising, the album further expands the band’s signature territory : crushing rhythmic precision, cinematic atmospheres, progressive complexity and emotionally charged extremity. BUY JUPITER balances technical aggression with narrative coherence, crafting a record designed as a complete immersive experience.
Previously released singles “Embrace Of The Serpent God”, “The Wake” and “Surge” already hinted at the album’s scale — from oppressive tension to introspective layering and groove-driven momentum — but ‘EARTH ‘ pushes that vision to its most accomplished form yet.
Fans of Between The Buried And Me, Meshuggah, Lamb Of God, Textures, and Vildjartha will recognize familiar DNA, while BUY JUPITER increasingly shapes those influences into a distinct identity rooted in modern conceptual progressive metal.
For the record
EARTH chronicles the return of Jovian exiles to humanity’s home planet, triggering a new conflict surrounding domination, survival and liberation. Extending the project beyond music itself, every track is accompanied by an original short story published through the band’s platforms, expanding the narrative universe through multiple perspectives and reinforcing the album’s cinematic scope.
Over 13 years of activity, BUY JUPITER has established itself as a consistent force within the French heavy music landscape through appearances at Sylak Open Air, Hellfest Warm Up, Lions Metal Fest, Les Lunatiques and WinteRock Fest, while sharing stages with Between The Buried And Me, Protest The Hero, Benighted, Gorod, Smash Hit Combo and Atlantis Chronicles.
With EARTH now officially available worldwide, BUY JUPITER enters a new phase — bringing one of the French progressive metal scene’s most immersive and conceptually ambitious projects to wider audiences.
