EPTA7 featured on Sweden’s ZERO Music Magazine


 

We’re very happy to share a new in-depth interview with EPTA7, published by Sweden’s ZERO Music Magazine.

Under the title “From Rammstein to Dissection: EPTA7 has awakened after ten years of silence”, journalist Petter Jahnstedt takes a deep dive into the history, influences and evolution of the project — from our beginnings in Dublin and the long road that eventually led to Here Come the Freaks, to the direction we are now taking with our next album, Schengen Reloaded.

The conversation goes well beyond the new music. We talk about our industrial roots, the influence of Swedish metal, cinematic horror and Lovecraft, the changing identity of EPTA7, our relationship with Europe and why creating an atmosphere has become just as important to us as writing a song.

As we put it in the interview:

“In the beginning we tried to create songs. Today we increasingly try to create places.”

The interview also looks ahead to Schengen Reloaded, where the focus moves from the personal fears and inner monsters of Here Come the Freaks towards something broader: the fears, tensions and divisions affecting the world around us.

A huge thank you to Petter Jahnstedt and ZERO Music Magazine for the space, the thoughtful questions and for taking the time to explore the world behind EPTA7.

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.
