EPTA7 Featured on MetalNews.pl – “Here Come the Freaks” Reaches Poland 🇵🇱

 

We’re very happy to share a new feature dedicated to EPTA7 and our debut full-length album, Here Come the Freaks, published by Polish music publication MetalNews.pl.

The article traces the story of EPTA7 from the project's formation in Dublin in 2012, through the early Eptasystem era and the long period of silence that followed, to our return in 2026 with a completely expanded musical and visual identity.

Welcome to Here Come the Freaks

MetalNews.pl explores not only the history of EPTA7, but also the concept behind Here Come the Freaks.

The album combines industrial metal, industrial rock, dark electronics, post-punk tension and cinematic atmospheres, creating a dystopian world in which the city is much more than a backdrop.

It watches.
It remembers.
And slowly, it changes the people living inside it.

The “freaks” inhabiting this world are not simply traditional horror monsters. They represent fear, trauma, isolation, paranoia, loss of identity and the psychological consequences of living under constant pressure.

The city creates its monsters.

A huge thank you to Tom and the MetalNews.pl team for giving EPTA7 the opportunity to tell our story to a new audience and for supporting independent music.

It's particularly exciting for us to see Here Come the Freaks reaching listeners in Poland as the EPTA7 universe continues to expand through music, videos and new stories.

“Frozen Town” Official Music Video Out Now

 

The city is frozen. But something inside it is still alive.

EPTA7 have released the official music video for “Frozen Town”, taken from the album Here Come the Freaks.

Frozen Town takes us deeper into the dystopian universe surrounding the album: a place where the city is more than a setting. Streets, buildings and memories become part of a living organism, while the boundary between human beings and the monsters they create slowly begins to disappear.

Isolation, fear and psychological transformation lie at the heart of the story. As with the rest of Here Come the Freaks, the horror is not simply about creatures hiding in the darkness. The monsters are manifestations of something much more human.

The city creates its monsters.

The official video expands this world visually, transforming Frozen Town into another chapter of the larger EPTA7 universe.

EPTA7 Featured on Indie Band Guru: “8 Questions with EPTA7”

We’re very happy to share a new in-depth interview with Indie Band Guru, where EPTA7 opens the door a little further into the strange universe behind Here Come the Freaks.

In “8 Questions with EPTA7,” we talk about the origins and evolution of the project, the ideas and fears that shaped Here Come the Freaks, and the relationship between music, storytelling and the increasingly cinematic visual world surrounding EPTA7.

The conversation goes deeper into The Walls Breathe, including some of the inspirations and hidden references behind the song and its imagery, while also exploring influences ranging from H.P. Lovecraft and Tim Burton to Guillermo del Toro and H.R. Giger.

But the interview isn't only about where we've been.

We also discuss what comes next: Schengen Reload, the next chapter of EPTA7. While Here Come the Freaks looks inward at personal fears, trauma, paranoia and the monsters living inside us, Schengen Reload turns its attention outward — toward a world shaped by war, climate anxiety, pandemics, political fragmentation and the uncertain future of Europe.

A huge thank you to Keith Pro and Indie Band Guru for giving us the space to explain the project in depth and, above all, for showing genuine curiosity about the world we're building.

Here Come the Freaks.

And this is only the beginning.

ISW Reacts Discovers EPTA7 for the First Time

 

Another new reaction to EPTA7 is now online!

This time, ISW Reacts enters the world of EPTA7 for the very first time with a full reaction to “The Walls Breathe”, one of the tracks from our album Here Come the Freaks.

Watching someone experience the song without knowing what to expect is always interesting for us, especially with a track like The Walls Breathe, where the music and visuals are designed to work together as part of the same experience.

During the reaction, ISW Reacts explores the track’s combination of heavy guitars, electronics, industrial rhythms and cinematic atmosphere, while also paying attention to the imagery and concept behind the official video.

What makes this reaction particularly rewarding for us is that he really understood what lies beneath the song.

“The Walls Breathe” is about the moment when a place stops feeling like a simple environment and begins to become part of your psychological reality — when isolation, anxiety and paranoia transform the space around you until even the walls seem alive.

That idea is an important part of the universe behind Here Come the Freaks, an album built around fears, trauma, distorted perception and the strange creatures that can emerge from the darker corners of the human mind.

A huge thank you to ISW Reacts for taking the time to discover EPTA7 and for giving The Walls Breathe such an attentive first listen.

🎥 Watch the full reaction on ISW Reacts’ YouTube channel.

🎧 Listen to EPTA7 – Here Come the Freaks on Spotify and all major streaming platforms.

More reactions, videos and new material are coming.

Epta7 featured on Planet Singer

 

We’re thrilled to share a new in-depth feature on Planet Singer, dedicated to EPTA7, “The Walls Breathe”, our album Here Come the Freaks, and the dark cinematic world surrounding the project.

The article comes with a headline that certainly caught our attention:

“EPTA7 Unleash Industrial Darkness with ‘The Walls Breathe’ — A Terrifying Masterpiece”

Planet Singer dives deep into the atmosphere of “The Walls Breathe”, exploring its industrial textures, mechanical rhythms, contrasting vocals and the sense of claustrophobia and urban horror at the heart of the song.

But the feature goes far beyond a single-track review.

It explores the wider world of Here Come the Freaks, touches on other parts of EPTA7’s music and even looks ahead to “Zombies of the Third Millennium” and the next chapter of the project, Schengen Reload.

One passage in particular means a lot to us:

“One of the most distinctive and intriguing forces currently operating within industrial and dark alternative metal.” — Planet Singer

For an independent project, there is something particularly rewarding about seeing someone not only listen to the music, but actually engage with the ideas, atmosphere and imagery behind it.

A huge thank you to Nicolas and the Planet Singer team for the attention, enthusiasm and care they put into the article.

The walls remember.

The walls absorb.

The Walls Breathe.

EPTA7 Featured on Sleeping Bag Studios: “The Walls Breathe” & “Zombies of the Third Millennium”

We’re excited to share a new feature dedicated to EPTA7, published by Sleeping Bag Studios.

This time, the spotlight falls on two songs representing two different chapters of the EPTA7 universe: “The Walls Breathe”, from our debut album Here Come the Freaks, and “Zombies of the Third Millennium”, the first preview of our upcoming concept album Schengen Reload.

Two songs, two different nightmares

“The Walls Breathe” belongs to the claustrophobic and psychological world of Here Come the Freaks, where fears, trauma and inner demons are transformed into characters, places and disturbing cinematic landscapes.

“Zombies of the Third Millennium” begins to open a different door.

With Schengen Reload, the focus moves from the monsters living inside us to those surrounding us: a contemporary world shaped by social alienation, manipulation, conflict and collective fears.

Sleeping Bag Studios takes the time to explore both tracks and the distinctive atmosphere surrounding EPTA7, offering another perspective on the evolution of the project.

For an independent industrial metal project, having someone actually listen, analyse and engage with the music means a great deal to us.

A huge thank you to Sleeping Bag Studios for the time, attention and space dedicated to EPTA7. 🖤
