In collaboration with people like Leif Edling (Candlemass, Krux) Mats Levén (Krux, ex Therion, Y. Malmsteen) and Declan Burke (Darwins radio, Frost) among many others, He gives us an album with the ambient but symphonic production known from Carptree and with a clear presence of Heavier elements . Big arrangements, small details, different vocalists and musicians specially chosen for each song makes it divers and intriguing. You are given one hour of music and exclusive artwork, once again by the independent Label FOSFOR Creation
Now in 2009, Jupiter Society releases the sequel called "Terraform" again with a lot of prominent fellow musicians like the last time, slightly different crew this time with Kulle and Marcus Jidell (Royal Hunt) on lead guitars, and Lars Sköld (Tiamat) on Drums and also Christer Jansson (Roxette among many others) on additional Drums. Mats Levén (krux, ex Therion, ex Y.Malmsteen and others) and Leif Edling (Candlemass, Krux) are still members of the society among others.

Presumed Dying
Jupiter Society Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was a normal day, the sensors read all OK
And everything was fine, we were just killing time
Our ship in full control (and) kept our course away from home
The day just lingered on, and nothing could go wrong.
We're under attack, run for your life, attack, attack
There was a big explosion threatening to break the hull
At first just emptiness, we could just hear our breath
We didn't know what hit us, even less what to expect
We had nowhere to hide (and) time was running out
We're under attack, run for your life
We're under attack, run for your life, attack, attack
In sudden silent fear, around the ship in agony
We ran for safety pods, we never did fight back
With gravitation lost as life support was running out
Then came the second blow and we abandon ship
Falling out
Slowly drift into the sun
Falling down
Still alive and left to die
Still in contact
Still alive
I can still, I can still see, I can hear
I can breathe, I can still feel
As we will go down in flames
Slowly burn
Like a shooting star
Slowly burn
Like a shooting star
The song "Presumed Dying" by Jupiter Society tells the story of a man aboard a passenger vessel on a two-week journey. The ship is suddenly hit by an explosion that threatens to break the hull. The man, along with the remaining crew, tries to survive. However, a second explosion tears the ship apart, leaving the man stranded in space with some breathable air and a short time in radio contact before his presumed death.
The lyrics describe the chaos and terror of a catastrophic event, where time is running out, and the unimaginable horror of being left alone to float indefinitely in the vast emptiness of space. The song highlights the desperation and helplessness of human beings in the face of unexpected and uncontrollable circumstances.
Overall, "Presumed Dying" is a haunting portrayal of the fragility of life and the vulnerability of human beings in the face of the unknown.
