In a world overrun by illusion, exploitation, and decay, SUPREME MYSTIC returns with a thunderous new single that cuts through the noise with venom and vision. “Jewels on the Hood of a Serpent” is the latest release from the spiritually charged heavy rock collective, and it’s as hypnotic as it is harrowing.
Drawn from the band’s forthcoming debut full-length Kala Rupa, due Fall 2025, “Jewels on the Hood of a Serpent” is a sonic confrontation with the poisoned temptations of modern culture. Set against grinding guitars, pummeling drums, and mantric distortion, frontman Chino Noir (aka Mike Couls) delivers a prophetic vocal performance that warns of spiritual collapse beneath the glittering surface of power, fame, and greed.
This is a mantra for survival, a hymn for the spiritually hunted, and a battle cry for those still searching for light in an age of darkness.
SUPREME MYSTIC’s sound is rooted in Detroit’s sonic grit and guided by Vedic wisdom. With “Jewels on the Hood of a Serpent,” the band channels its rawest instincts through a spiritual lens. Drawing on post-hardcore, sludge, doom, and grunge, the song weaves street realism with esoteric clarity. echoing warnings found in ancient texts and modern streets alike.
It’s a soundtrack for the age of the Kali Yuga, where deception reigns and only those with inner clarity survive.

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.
