EPTA7 Featured on Coyote Music: Schengen Reload Review, Artist Spotlight and Zombies of the Third Millennium

 EPTA7 continues to expand its international presence with multiple features on Coyote Music, including an album review, an official artist profile and a dedicated music video feature.

The Irish–Italian industrial metal project EPTA7 has received extensive coverage on Coyote Music, an independent music platform showcasing artists and releases from across the international music scene.

The coverage highlights the band's latest album, Schengen Reload, alongside its musical identity, creative direction and dystopian visual universe.

Schengen Reload: A Dystopian Vision of Modern Europe

Released on November 1, 2026, Schengen Reload is EPTA7's second studio album.

Combining industrial metal, dark alternative influences, aggressive electronic textures and politically charged themes, the album explores a Europe struggling with division, digital manipulation, nationalism and the erosion of collective identity.

Coyote Music has published a dedicated review of the album, introducing its sound and concept to a wider audience.

Zombies of the Third Millennium: The Digital Nightmare

Coyote Music has also featured EPTA7's music video Zombies of the Third Millennium, one of the central tracks from Schengen Reload.

The song explores the darker side of digital society: algorithmic influence, technological dependency and the gradual loss of individual identity.

Through dystopian imagery and an aggressive industrial sound, EPTA7 presents a world in which humanity risks becoming disconnected from itself.

EPTA7 – SCHENGEN RELOAD IS OUT NOW

 

The new EPTA7 album, Schengen Reload, is out now.

A new chapter begins.

Following Here Come the Freaks, EPTA7 returns with Schengen Reload, a darker and more confrontational record built around a Europe caught between unity and fragmentation, fear and resistance, identity and propaganda.

The album looks at a continent transformed by political division, digital manipulation, algorithms, borders and the constant pressure of information.

But Schengen Reload isn't intended as a political manifesto.

It is a dystopian reflection of the world around us — a Europe where screens influence reality, fear becomes currency and the monsters we are told to look for outside may already be among us.

ZOMBIES OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM

Leading the new era is “Zombies of the Third Millennium”, one of the central tracks of the album.

A song about a generation surrounded by information but increasingly disconnected from reality — living through screens, algorithms and endless digital noise.

Its official video introduces the visual world of Schengen Reload: surveillance, decay, drones, crowds and a Europe struggling to recognise itself.

A NEW EPTA7 CHAPTER

Musically, Schengen Reload continues EPTA7's mixture of industrial, metal, electronic and alternative influences while pushing the project further into its own dystopian universe.

The album also represents another step in the evolution of EPTA7.

The music, lyrics and visual storytelling are becoming increasingly interconnected, with characters, locations and symbols crossing between songs and videos.

This isn't just another collection of tracks.

This is Schengen Reload.

Europe changed.

So did EPTA7.

🔥 SCHENGEN RELOAD — OUT NOW

Listen to the album on your preferred streaming platform and watch “Zombies of the Third Millennium” on the official EPTA7 YouTube channel.

Unsigned Showcase Reacts to EPTA7

 

Another reaction to EPTA7 has landed — this time from Unsigned Showcase.

After watching the video, one comment in particular stood out:

“High quality, had continuity, had a meaning behind it.”

That’s something we especially appreciate, because EPTA7 has always been about more than individual songs. Music, lyrics, characters and visuals are increasingly becoming pieces of the same universe, with connections that continue from one release to another.

A huge thank you to Unsigned Showcase for taking the time to check us out and for supporting independent music. 🖤🤘

EPTA7 Featured on In Your Eyes Zine – The Queen Is Dead #239

 Another new review for EPTA7.

Italian underground publication In Your Eyes Zine has featured EPTA7 in the latest edition of its long-running series The Queen Is Dead – Volume 239, with a review of Here Come the Freaks.

The article, published in Italian, takes a look at the sound and atmosphere behind the project and places EPTA7 alongside other voices from the contemporary underground scene.

It’s particularly good to see Here Come the Freaks continuing to travel months after its release, reaching new listeners, publications and different corners of the European underground.

As an Irish–Italian project, coverage from the Italian alternative scene also has a special meaning for us.

A huge thank you to In Your Eyes Zine for taking the time to listen to the music and for giving EPTA7 space in The Queen Is Dead.

ZOMBIES OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM — THE FIRST SIGNAL FROM SCHENGEN RELOAD

 The signal is spreading.

EPTA7 have released the official music video for “Zombies of the Third Millennium,” the first taste of the upcoming second album Schengen Reload, arriving November 1st, 2026.

Following the release of Here Come the Freaks and a series of official videos that expanded its dark visual universe, EPTA7 are now opening the door to the project's next chapter.

And this time, the world outside is becoming part of the nightmare.

ZOMBIES OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM

We live surrounded by screens.

Information never stops. Algorithms decide what we see. Opinions are repeated, copied and amplified until it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between what we actually think and what we have simply been told to think.

We scroll. We consume. We repeat.

Zombies of the Third Millennium takes that idea and pushes it into a dystopian vision of a generation permanently connected to everything — yet increasingly disconnected from itself.

The zombies in this story are not the dead.

They are us.

People still moving, working, consuming and communicating, but gradually surrendering their individuality to the signal.

The question at the centre of the song is simple:

Are you still thinking for yourself?

THE ROAD TO SCHENGEN RELOAD

Zombies of the Third Millennium also marks an important transition for EPTA7.

Over the past months, we have released several official music videos connected to our first album, Here Come the Freaks, building a visual world around its songs, characters and recurring dystopian imagery.

Now the focus begins to shift.

Schengen Reload arrives November 1st.

The new album pushes the EPTA7 sound and concept into a wider landscape: industrial metal, dark alternative, social alienation, technology, identity and a Europe struggling with its own contradictions.

Zombies of the Third Millennium is the first signal from that world.

And the signal has already started spreading.

EPTA7 Featured on European Metal Channel – Best European Metal Bands #468

EPTA7 continues its journey through the European underground, this time with a feature on European Metal Channel.

The Irish–Italian industrial metal project appears in Best European Metal Bands #468, part of the channel’s long-running series dedicated to bands and new releases from across the European metal scene.

For EPTA7, whose identity has always existed somewhere between Ireland, Italy and the darker corners of the European alternative scene, every new appearance like this is another small step in bringing the project and its music to a wider international audience.

European Metal Channel has been supporting and documenting metal from across the continent for years, giving space to established names as well as independent and underground projects.

A big thank you to European Metal Channel for including EPTA7 and for continuing to support European underground metal.

EPTA7 Release New Official Music Video for “Mostri Dentro”

 Some monsters don’t hide in the dark. They live inside us.

EPTA7 have released the official music video for “Mostri Dentro”, another chapter in the dark visual universe surrounding Here Come the Freaks.

The song explores the monsters we carry within: fears, obsessions, distorted identities and the hidden parts of ourselves that gradually take control. In the world of EPTA7, these inner demons become something almost physical, blurring the line between psychological horror and a reality that is slowly falling apart.

The new video expands that universe through a surreal urban nightmare populated by strange characters, black substances and transformations — another glimpse into the same dystopian world that runs throughout Here Come the Freaks and its visual stories.

With “Mostri Dentro”, the freak is no longer something waiting outside.

The freak is already inside.

EPTA7 Featured on RockNews.ro: Here Come the Freaks Reaches Romania

 The Freaks have reached Romania. 

We recently came across a feature published by RockNews.ro dedicated to EPTA7 and our debut album, Here Come the Freaks — one that somehow escaped our radar when it was originally released.

The Romanian rock and metal publication introduces EPTA7 and explores the dark universe surrounding Here Come the Freaks, an album where industrial metal, dark electronics and cinematic horror collide.

For us, seeing the album continue to travel across borders and reach listeners through independent rock and metal media around Europe is something we truly appreciate.

A huge thank you to RockNews.ro for giving space to EPTA7 and welcoming the Freaks into Romania.

Better late than never.
Welcome to the Freakshow. 🖤

EPTA7 ospiti di Noiseeker Talk: guarda l’intervista completa

Ieri sera EPTA7 è stato ospite di Noiseeker Talk per una lunga conversazione con Emiliano dedicata a Here Come the Freaks e all’universo che circonda il progetto.

Più che una classica intervista, è stata una vera e propria chiacchierata che ci ha permesso di raccontare non soltanto la musica di EPTA7, ma anche le idee, le esperienze e le influenze che stanno dietro a ciò che facciamo.

Abbiamo parlato delle origini del progetto, della nascita di Here Come the Freaks, del nostro modo di intendere l’industrial metal e la musica dark alternative, delle storie e delle paure che attraversano l’album e del rapporto sempre più stretto tra musica, immagini e narrazione nel mondo EPTA7.

La conversazione ci ha portato anche fuori dai confini strettamente musicali, passando attraverso cinema, arte, filosofia, horror e cultura underground: tutti elementi che, direttamente o indirettamente, hanno contribuito alla costruzione dell’identità del progetto.

Un grande grazie a Emiliano e Noiseeker per l’accoglienza, lo spazio che ci hanno dedicato e soprattutto per aver reso l’incontro così spontaneo e piacevole.

E naturalmente grazie a tutti quelli che ci hanno seguito durante la diretta.

New Video Released "Black Circuit Fear"

 EPTA7 have released the official music video for “Black Circuit Fear”, a track from their 2026 album Here Come the Freaks.

Dark, claustrophobic and increasingly surreal, the video follows a descent into paranoia and psychological collapse. Screens, static, contamination and distorted reality gradually take over, turning an apparently ordinary world into another fragment of the unsettling EPTA7 universe.

Musically, “Black Circuit Fear” combines EPTA7’s industrial metal foundations with dark electronic textures, heavy rhythms and a cinematic atmosphere.

The video expands on one of the recurring themes of Here Come the Freaks: the fears and inner disturbances that can transform everyday reality into something hostile and unfamiliar.

“Walking Ghost” Official Music Video Out Now

 

EPTA7 have released the official music video for “Walking Ghost”, a track taken from their latest album Here Come the Freaks.

Set within the dark, dystopian world surrounding the album, Walking Ghost explores a different kind of horror: the fear of becoming invisible while still being there.

The video reflects the feeling of moving through the world without being truly seen — being ignored, forgotten or pushed to the margins, surrounded by people yet somehow disconnected from them.

Sometimes you don't need to disappear to become a ghost.

Blending industrial metal, dark alternative music and cinematic horror, Walking Ghost continues EPTA7's exploration of psychological fears and isolation, turning the song into a visual representation of alienation and the human need to be seen and remembered.

The video was created by
Zero Films AI, continuing the visual collaboration that is gradually shaping the cinematic world surrounding EPTA7 and Here Come the Freaks.

EPTA7 × TG Metal — New Interview Online

 

A new EPTA7 interview with TG Metal is now online.

We had the opportunity to talk in depth about the world behind Here Come the Freaks: the origins of EPTA7, the ideas and fears that inspired the album, our approach to industrial metal and dark alternative music, and the visual universe that has gradually grown around the project.

The conversation also looks toward the future. We discussed how EPTA7 is evolving and gave some first insights into Schengen Reload, our next album — a heavier chapter that moves from the personal fears explored on Here Come the Freaks toward the wider anxieties surrounding contemporary Europe and the world we live in.

A special thank you to Ammy for taking the time to dig into the project and for giving us the opportunity to explain EPTA7 in our own words. 🖤

EPTA7 – Here Come the Freaks reviewed by Head-Banger Reviews

 

Another review has landed for EPTA7’s Here Come the Freaks, this time from Head-Banger Reviews.

The review takes a thoughtful and honest look at the album, exploring its heavy industrial sound, dark urban atmosphere and the creative identity behind the project.

The article also discusses some of the choices surrounding the project from a critical perspective. We may not share every point of view, but we genuinely appreciate the time taken to look deeper into EPTA7, understand our approach, and — most importantly — judge the music on its own merits.

Music criticism doesn’t need agreement to be valuable. What matters is listening, engaging and having an honest conversation about art.

A huge thank you to Head-Banger Reviews for spending time with Here Come the Freaks and for keeping EPTA7 on their radar. 🖤

EPTA7 – Here Come the Freaks
Out now.

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 Reload.

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 Reload, 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 Featured on TG Metal: “Here Come the Freaks” Reviewed by Ammy

 

We’re happy to share another new review of EPTA7’s latest album, Here Come the Freaks, this time published by Italian metal outlet TG Metal and written by Ammy.

The review takes a journey through the dark and unconventional world of Here Come the Freaks, exploring the album’s mixture of industrial metal, electronic elements, heavy atmospheres and cinematic horror.

Released on May 21, 2026, Here Come the Freaks represents a new chapter for EPTA7: a collection of songs built around fears, trauma, paranoia and the strange characters living at the edges of society.

From the oppressive atmosphere of “The Walls Breathe” to tracks such as “Walking Ghost,” “Frozen Town,” “Kartoffeln” and “Zombies of the Third Millennium,” the album was conceived not simply as a collection of individual songs, but as a single dystopian world populated by ghosts, monsters and human freaks.

We’d like to thank Ammy and the entire TG Metal team for taking the time to enter that world, listen to the album and give EPTA7 space on their pages.

Every review gives us a different perspective on the record — and sometimes reveals things in the music that even its creators hadn't consciously noticed.

And, as always…

Welcome to the freakshow.

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.

“Kartoffeln” Official Music Video Out Now

 EPTA7 have released the official music video for “Kartoffeln”, a track taken from their latest album Here Come the Freaks.

Set in the same dark, dystopian universe that surrounds the album, the video follows a mysterious killer moving through the city and choosing his victims one by one. Convinced that he is the hunter, he gradually discovers that something else has been following him from the shadows.

He thinks he is the hunter. He doesn't know he's being hunted.

Blending industrial metal, dark alternative music and cinematic horror, Kartoffeln continues EPTA7's exploration of paranoia, fear and distorted urban environments, transforming the song into a short visual horror story.

The video was created by Maya / Bisma, bringing the disturbing world and atmosphere of Kartoffeln to life.

EPTA7 – “Here Come The Freaks” reviewed by Aristocrazia Webzine

 

Another new review for EPTA7 is now online!

Italian metal publication Aristocrazia Webzine has taken a deep dive into our latest album, “Here Come The Freaks”, exploring its industrial and electronic elements, heavier moments and the dark, dystopian atmosphere surrounding the EPTA7 universe.

The review highlights the album’s production and mix, its balance between aggression and electronics, and the way the different elements come together to create a compact and powerful sound.

Beyond the music itself, the article also explores the imagery and concepts behind Here Come The Freaks: dystopia, rebellion, outsiders and the strange world inhabited by our freaks.

A huge thank you to Botta and everyone at Aristocrazia Webzine for taking the time to listen to the album and share their thoughts.

As an added bonus, “The Walls Breathe” is featured directly in the article for those who want to enter the EPTA7 universe for themselves.
