EPTA7 – “Kartoffeln” Featured on Tomi’s Radio Show

 

Another EPTA7 track has made its way onto the airwaves.

“Kartoffeln”, taken from our album Here Come the Freaks, has been featured on Tomi’s radio show/podcast, bringing one of the album’s most unusual tracks to a new audience.

Kartoffeln is a strange creature even by EPTA7 standards — a track where industrial metal, dark electronics and the surreal atmosphere of Here Come the Freaks collide. Seeing it selected for airplay is particularly satisfying, because it represents exactly the kind of unpredictable side of EPTA7 that we wanted the album to have.

A massive thank you to Tomi for discovering the track, supporting independent music and giving EPTA7 some precious airtime.

Every review, reaction, playlist and radio appearance helps this little Irish-Italian industrial monster travel a little further.

And apparently… the freaks are spreading.

Welcome to the freaks.

EPTA7’s “The Walls Breathe” Featured on INDIE NOXZINE

 

We’re very happy to share a new review of EPTA7’s “The Walls Breathe”, published by INDIE NOXZINE as part of their Editorial Review / Partner Feature series.

Written by Anne, the review takes a close look at the elements behind the track — from its central guitar riff and dark electronics to the contrast between Industrial Fog’s controlled vocals and Miss Grey’s softer presence.

What particularly resonated with us was the way the review understood the intention behind the song: The Walls Breathe was never designed around constant aggression. Its weight comes from repetition, tension, atmosphere and the feeling that something unsettling is always hiding just beneath the surface.

Anne describes the track as having a character that feels “closer to psychological horror than straightforward metal”, a description that fits perfectly with the world we wanted to build around Here Come the Freaks.

One passage in particular stayed with us:

“Most of all, it feels confident. EPTA7 knows exactly what kind of song they wanted to make, and they never try to be anything else.”
— Anne, INDIE NOXZINE

The review also explores the wider concept behind our debut album Here Come the Freaks — its interconnected locations, characters and recurring symbols — while recognising that the narrative never needs to overshadow the music itself.

For us, that's especially meaningful. EPTA7 has always been about creating more than individual songs: atmosphere, imagery and storytelling are all parts of the same world.

A huge thank you to Anne and INDIE NOXZINE for taking the time to listen closely, understand what we were trying to create and give The Walls Breathe a place on their pages.

The city creates its monsters.

Face Ripper Records reacts to EPTA7 – “The Walls Breathe”

 

A new reaction to EPTA7's “The Walls Breathe” is now online, this time courtesy of Ben at Face Ripper Records.

The episode was particularly interesting for us because EPTA7 sits somewhat outside the channel's usual diet of heavier and more extreme music. Ben approached the track with an open mind, focusing not only on the music but also on the atmosphere, visual concept and the relationship between EPTA7's human creative direction and contemporary production tools.

During the reaction, he highlighted the song's hooks and the way the “breathing walls” concept translates into the video, while also offering constructive criticism and encouraging us to push the heavier side of the project even further.

His closing words were perhaps the best way to end the journey:

“It’s another artist to keep an eye on and I will be watching closely.”

Thanks to Ben and Face Ripper Records for taking the time to step into the EPTA7 universe and for giving The Walls Breathe a genuine, thoughtful listen.

New Reaction Video: Jimmy D's Rock Talk discovers The Walls Breathe

 

One of the most rewarding parts of being an independent band is watching someone discover your music for the very first time.

Today we're excited to share a brand-new reaction by Jimmy D's Rock Talk, who recently took his first journey into the world of The Walls Breathe, one of the key tracks from our debut album, Here Come the Freaks.

Rather than simply listening to the song, Jimmy paid close attention to its atmosphere, the production, the instrumental work and the dark cinematic mood that defines the EPTA7 universe. Throughout the reaction, he repeatedly commented on the heaviness of the guitars, the blend of electronics and metal, and the immersive feeling created by the music and visuals.

One moment that genuinely made us smile was hearing him say:

"I've got to do more of this band."

For an independent project, there's no better compliment than knowing someone wants to come back and explore more of your work.

We're grateful to Jimmy for taking the time to feature EPTA7 on his channel, for sharing all of our links with his audience, and for supporting independent music with such genuine enthusiasm.

Lelahel Metal Reviews Here Come The Freaks

 

We are delighted to announce that Lelahel Metal has officially published its review of our debut album, Here Come The Freaks.

This collaboration has been particularly special for us. Before publishing the review, the editorial team became so interested in our artistic vision that they invited us for an interview first. As an independent project, that level of curiosity and support is something we truly appreciate.

In the review, Lelahel Metal describes Here Come The Freaks as "the gateway to an immersive universe," praising the album's blend of industrial metal, industrial rock, post-punk and dark electronic elements, as well as its cinematic storytelling, psychological horror atmosphere and immersive production.

Special mention is given to The Walls Breathe and Fallen Gabriel, recognised as two of the album's strongest moments and perfect examples of the visual and musical identity that defines EPTA7.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone at Lelahel Metal for their professionalism, thoughtful analysis and continued support. Independent media outlets like these play an essential role in helping underground artists reach new listeners.
