Nihil Novi Sub Sole is a relatively young, ambient/martial industrial band straight from the Netherlands.
The band's name may be translated into English as "Nothing New Below The Sun"
The music of Nihil Novi Sub Sole is full of military associations such as distinctive drums or the lyrics describing great dramas of humanity, putting an exceptional emphasis on the national socialism.

"Jupiter Temple" is a typically martial industrial record, including numerous tracks, which are characterized by militarily rhythym of march, choir and neo-classical samples, which render these tracks more dramatic.
The motive which predominates over other music-factors is the recitation, mainly in German, which constitutes the core of each and every piece of music. One do not need to overly comprehend the lyrics in order to understand what message the musicians wanted to put across.

One can clearly discern insiprations and associations to the bands like Triarii, Karjalan Sissit or Arditi in the music of Nihil Novi Sub Sole. Nonetheless, "Jupiter Temple" is rather a monotonous album, which is the biggest disadvantage of it.
It is by no means a revelatory release, which the band's name might have suggested, yet it will be a great pleasure to listen this album for every lover of the genre.
