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.
The walls are breathing.
And this is only the beginning.

Epta7 is an Irish–Italian dark alternative project formed in Dublin in 2012, creating music that inhabits the space between industrial rock, post-punk tension, electronic decay, and cinematic urban horror.
With Here Come the Freaks, Epta7 move beyond their industrial-metal origins and build something more immersive: a dystopian sonic world where cities breathe, walls remember, identities collapse, and human beings slowly mutate under the pressure of noise, trauma, paranoia, and decay.
Rather than a simple collection of songs, Here Come the Freaks unfolds like a journey through a haunted metropolis — a living urban organism where memory infects architecture, neon lights watch in silence, and the “freaks” are not outsiders, but people transformed by the system that created them.
Blending distorted electronics, hypnotic rhythms, dark rock atmospheres, industrial textures, and emotionally charged songwriting, Epta7 create music that feels both cinematic and unsettling — suspended between urban nightmare and emotional collapse.
After first emerging in Dublin’s underground scene with their debut EP Eptasystem, Epta7 return with a renewed artistic identity: darker, more atmospheric, and impossible to confine within a single genre.
Epta7 is not just a band. It is a world where the city creates its monsters.
