EPTA7 – Here Come the Freaks reviewed by ReGen Magazine

 

We’re very pleased to share a new review of EPTA7’s debut album, Here Come the Freaks, published by ReGen Magazine, a long-standing publication dedicated to industrial, electronic and alternative music.

Written by ReGen editor Ilker Yücel, the review takes a detailed and honest look at the album, discussing its production, lyrics, atmosphere and individual tracks while drawing comparisons to artists including White Zombie, Powerman 5000, PIG and Lord of the Lost.

Among the highlights:

“The arrangements are tight, the riffs grind in lockstep with the drums, striking with a machine gun precision and an explosive cannonball force.”

The review particularly highlights tracks such as “Kartoffeln,” “Eptasystem,” “Moon Canvas” and “The Walls Breathe,” while also offering constructive criticism of some aspects of the album’s mastering and lyrical approach.

And perhaps the line that best sums up ReGen’s assessment:

“Epta7 has the talent, so let’s see where the band goes from here.”

For us, honest and detailed criticism is always valuable. Here Come the Freaks was a record many years in the making, and every review that genuinely engages with the music helps us understand both what worked and where EPTA7 can evolve next.

A huge thank you to Ilker Yücel and ReGen Magazine for taking the time to listen to the record and give it such a thorough assessment.

EPTA7 – HERE COME THE FREAKS
Industrial darkness. Cinematic horror. The freaks are already here.

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.
