Junius is an American rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. The band is composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Joseph E. Martinez & drummer Dana Filloon.

Scattered between the sleepy city of Peoria and metropolis of Chicago, Illinois, and drawing inspiration from a remote Belarusian city that has been burned to the ground only to be rebuilt like a phoenix rising from its own ashes, MINSK is an enigmatic collection of opposites. The music is at once modern, organic, and other-worldly; songs are stirring sonic journeys

Shrineburner is a sonic glacier of doom spewn into the abyss from the depths of Chicago. Crushing riffs coupled with seething melodies, a wall of amps, and heavily-hit drums drive this earthquake-inducing three-piece. “Solitude” is a slow, vicious build of suspense and dystopia by guitar tone that is both simultaneously crushing and delicious. Churning and bulldozing dynamics build upwards always, toward menacing, cavernous vocals that scratch a similar itch to that of early Chuck Schuldiner. A sludge-filled riff symphony of human disgust, done proper. “Lifting the Shroud” is my personal Riff of the Year. Zac, Minsk
