Of Jupiter: A New Chapter Begins with "Alien"

Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jun and Xavier from Of Jupiter to talk about their powerful new single, "Alien."
We dove into everything from the song's intricate guitar work and personal lyrical inspirations to the creative chaos behind the music video.

Jun and Xavier shared how a show with Resilia and Hyperbolic sparked the early ideas for "Alien," blending proggy, dancey vibes with emotional storytelling about personal transformation.
We discussed the deep meaning behind lines like "Cycles of bloom embrace new skin becoming alien," and how the band’s own rebirth parallels the song’s themes of growth and evolution.

"Alien" isn’t just a single — it’s a glimpse into the exciting new era for Of Jupiter, and if Jun's hints are anything to go by, fans should buckle up for a dynamic, unpredictable ride when the full EP drops.

Let's get into it.

Truth Be Told: Southpaw FLHC and Friends Tear Up Haltom Theater

Words & Photo by Erik Garcia (Owner)

On April 10th, Haltom Theater became the epicenter of raw, unfiltered hardcore as Southpaw FLHC headlined a stacked night featuring Eternal Punishment, Death Rattle TX, Cut Throat, and The Cutthroats from California.
It was a gritty, no-frills show that reminded everyone why we keep showing up — pure connection, heavy energy, and zero pretense.

From the chaos of Southpaw’s set to the diverse sounds of the local support, the night was a celebration of hardcore's beating heart: unity, aggression, and authenticity.
Photographing it was a rush — every mic grab, pit spin, and crowd shout captured the spirit of a scene that's as alive as ever.

Stay tuned for more coverage as Heavy Havoc continues to highlight the bands and nights keeping hardcore loud, real, and unapologetic.

Stay loud. Stay heavy.
