Jupiter Society

**Jupiter Society** is a progressive metal/rock project masterminded by Swedish multi-instrumentalist Dan Swanö, best known for his work in Edge of Sanity and Nightingale. Blending sci-fi storytelling with atmospheric soundscapes, the band crafts concept-driven albums that explore futuristic themes like space colonization and environmental collapse. Their releases, including *From Endangered to Extinct*, *Terraform*, and *First Contact / Last Warning*, merge Swanö’s signature prog-metal riffing with synth-heavy textures, creating a cinematic vibe that feels like the soundtrack to a dystopian space epic.

Operating as a collaborative effort since the early 2000s, Jupiter Society often features guest musicians and leans into Swanö’s knack for moody, narrative-driven music. While low-profile compared to his other projects, it’s a cult favorite for fans of cerebral, genre-blurring metal that’s as much about storytelling as it is about shredding.
