SUPREME MYSTIC manifest an eerie atmosphere with discordant undertones in the new single, “Stealing Beauty”. The untamable heavy music force hailing from Detroit are preparing for the arrival of their debut album Kala Rupa, due out October 3 via MahaVishnu Records in partnership with Third House Communications.
“Stealing Beauty” speaks to betrayal and envy in a world that feeds on appearances and weakness. Sonically, stoner rock and post hardcore styles collide to form a distinctive sound that is both highly immersive and aggressively fierce.
“Stealing Beauty” is released alongside a new music video that delves into dynamic visuals around SUPREME MYSTIC’s home city and reveals the influence of spiritual mysticism in their art.
This marks a new chapter for Couls, stepping forward not just as a bassist, but as a full-fledged frontman, songwriter, and voice of purpose. The band’s lineup features Jeff Shankin (UNIVERSAL STOMP, EARTHMOVER) on drums, Alfredo Riojas on lead guitar, and Luis Ulloa on keyboards, completing a powerhouse unit known for dynamic live performances and philosophical depth.

About SUPREME MYSTIC:
SUPREME MYSTIC is a spiritually charged heavy rock band from Detroit, Michigan, fusing the grit of hardcore and metal with the depth of Vedic philosophy. Founded in 2023 by frontman and bassist Chino Noir (the evolved moniker of Mike Couls, known for his work with COLD AS LIFE, SWORN ENEMY, MERAUDER, and CRO-MAGS), the band draws from a lifetime of musical warfare and personal transformation. Their sound, described as Mo-Metal and DefRoc, merges elements of post-hardcore, stoner rock, grunge, doom, and groove metal with a message rooted in spiritual evolution, esoteric themes, and inner revolution.
Joined by drummer Jeff Shankin (UNIVERSAL STOMP, EARTHMOVER), guitarist Alfredo Riojas (a BERKLEE-trained shredder), and keyboardist Luis Ulloa (a young devotee of heavy music and mysticism), SUPREME MYSTIC creates music that is as punishing as it is purposeful. Their songs explore karma, mortality, illusion, and rebirth, often weaving in Sanskrit mantras and Eastern iconography with street-level truth and raw energy.
Equal parts intensity and intention, SUPREME MYSTIC is not just another heavy band. It is a movement of sound and spirit. Their debut full-length album Kala Rupa is set for release in Fall 2025.
