HEAVY TEMPLE
A trio of psychedelic doom metal deviants, here to take you on a wild ride.
CRYSTAL SPIDERS
North Carolina-based Crystal Spiders originally emerged in 2019 as the brainchild of bassist and vocalist Brenna Leath, who wanted to explore a new creative path after years performing with Lightning Born. Quickly establishing themselves as pioneers of a new breed of heavy rock and stoner doom, their first self-recorded demo secured them a spot on The Obelisk’s yearly ranking of short releases, followed up shortly by a debut album release “Molt” with Ripple Music, produced by legendary Mike Dean of Corrosion of Conformity.
Having earned both global critical acclaim and the support of a diverse, growing fanbase over multiple singles, two full-length albums — MOLT and MORIERIS — and a slew of electric gigs to date, Crystal Spiders’ momentum is now at an all-time high as they prepare for their biggest year yet. An eagerly-awaited third full-length album and an appearance at Maryland Doom Fest are already on the horizon for 2025, with tour dates forthcoming.

SHADOW OF JUPITER
Chicago’s Shadow of Jupiter is a Stoner Rock/Heavy Psych band with heavy riffs and soulful vocals. Their debut album, Porta Coeli, landed high on the Doom Charts the month of its release and placed respectfully on the year-end Doom Charts Top 100 at the end of 2023. These accolades garnered them worldwide attention and incredible performance opportunities within the Windy City and around the USA. In 2024, Shadow of Jupiter were chosen among the greatest Stoner/Heavy Underground bands in the world to play Ripplefest Texas in Austin, TX. For 2025, a busy schedule has them playing more Chicago shows, and they are excited to have been invited to play Rhune Mountain Fest in Ontario, Canada and Grand Rapids Doom Fest in Grand Rapids, MI.
