Junius - Sotera

Fakta Foundational to the Boston alternative metal scene, Junius return with Sotera, their first new album in nearly a decade, reaffirming the band’s enduring influence and singular vision. Joined by Orion Wainer (Constants, Tombs), Matthew Vincenty (Glacier), and Eoghan McCarthy (Circus Trees) alongside founding members Joseph E. Martinez and Dana Filloon, the expanded lineup brings renewed precision and intensity to Junius’ signature blend of cinematic post-metal and shadowed, atmospheric rock. Sotera explores themes of ancient feminine divinity and the fractured legacy of esoteric rites that quietly shaped early civilization. Expansive and meditative, the album channels myth, ritual, and emotional gravity into a body of work that feels both timeless and urgent – an evolution that honors the band’s legacy while pushing its sound deeper and further than before.
