EPTA7 x Orkus! — New Interview Online

 

EPTA7 x Orkus! — New Interview Online

We’re proud to announce that a new EPTA7 interview is now online at Orkus!, one of Germany’s long-established magazines dedicated to alternative, gothic and dark culture.

In the interview, Gianz Vukodlak and Miss Grey take readers deeper into the world behind EPTA7, exploring the origins of the project, its imagery, influences and the ideas that have shaped its identity over the years.

The conversation goes back to Dublin, where EPTA7 was formed in 2012, before moving into the symbolism surrounding the name and the recurring number 7, the creature that inhabits the EPTA7 universe, and some of the artistic and cinematic influences behind it — including H. P. Lovecraft and Tim Burton.

The interview also moves into more personal territory, touching on fears, inner demons and inspiration, and on one of the central ideas behind the project today:

EPTA7 is not simply a band. It is a world.

That philosophy became particularly important with Here Come the Freaks, where music, characters, cities, horror and visual storytelling all belong to the same universe.

A huge thank you to Claudia Zinn-Zinnenburg and the Orkus! team for the interview and for giving us the opportunity to introduce the world of EPTA7 to their readers.

And this is not the end of the story.

More EPTA7 x Orkus! is coming soon.

Another great review for EPTA7 and Here Come the Freaks

This time, Doomed For Metal Reviews took a deep dive into the album — and what makes the review particularly interesting is that industrial metal isn't normally the reviewer's main territory.

Despite approaching the record from outside the genre, Here Come the Freaks clearly made an impression:

“One of the most catchy albums I've heard this year. Every song has a hook and there aren't any that are bad.”

The review highlights the album's combination of heavy riffs, clean production, electronic elements and contrasting vocal styles, while discussing several tracks individually.

The Fog is praised for its infectious riffs, while Kartoffeln stands out for its vocal flow, drums and chorus. Eptasystem is described as hitting particularly hard, and the title track Here Come the Freaks is singled out for containing some of the strongest and heaviest riffs on the record.

Moon Canvas also emerges as one of the reviewer's personal favourites.

For us, it's especially rewarding to see Here Come the Freaks connecting with someone who doesn't normally spend much time listening to industrial metal. Crossing those genre boundaries and creating something that can appeal beyond a specific scene has always been an important part of EPTA7.

A huge thank you to Doomed For Metal Reviews for taking the time to listen to the entire album and explore our world.

Spiderhands Reacts to EPTA7 – “The Walls Breathe”

A new reaction and in-depth song analysis of EPTA7 – “The Walls Breathe” is now live on YouTube, courtesy of Spiderhands.

Rather than simply listening to the track, Spiderhands takes a detailed look at its different elements — from the heavy low end and industrial textures to the vocals, guitars, drums, electronic layers and the horror-inspired atmosphere surrounding the song.

During the analysis, he highlights the track’s groove, chunky guitar tone and combination of metallic and electronic elements, while also noting how the different vocal textures help give the song variety. He particularly appreciates the ominous atmosphere created by the musical choices and the sense of dread running throughout the composition.

The review also includes constructive observations about aspects of the production, making it especially interesting for us as musicians. That balance between appreciation and criticism is exactly what makes detailed reactions like this valuable: real listening, real analysis and real feedback.

Spiderhands ultimately describes The Walls Breathe as a good first impression of EPTA7 and closes by encouraging his audience to support the band and independent musicians.

A huge thank you to Spiderhands for taking the time to listen closely to the track and explore the world behind it.

EPTA7 Featured on Woven Black: Where Industrial Metal Meets Cinematic Urban Horror

 

We’re very happy to announce that EPTA7 has been featured on Woven Black with an extensive article exploring the music, concept and visual universe behind our latest album, Here Come the Freaks.

Titled “EPTA7: Where Industrial Metal Meets Cinematic Urban Horror,” the feature goes beyond a traditional album presentation and looks at the world that connects the songs: a dystopian city where architecture seems alive, memories become part of the environment and its inhabitants are gradually transformed by fear, trauma, paranoia and decay.

The article explores how tracks such as The Fog, The Walls Breathe, Frozen Town, Mostri Dentro and Black Circuit Fear approach this universe from different perspectives, combining industrial rhythms, distorted guitars, dark electronics and cinematic atmospheres.

It also focuses on an important part of the EPTA7 identity: music and imagery are not separate elements. The videos, characters, locations and recurring symbols are extensions of the same narrative established by the music.

With Frozen Town, this world has begun to take an increasingly visible form — a city that is no longer simply the background to the story, but gradually becomes one of its central characters.

A huge thank you to Woven Black for taking the time to explore EPTA7 beyond genre labels and for capturing the atmosphere and ideas behind Here Come the Freaks.

The city is still growing.
And so are its monsters.
