HERAKLEION will be touring in support of their critically lauded Necroverse EP, released independently in September.
Necroverse spews forth five tracks of living, seething death thrash that serves as the listener’s vessel from the world of mortality into the realm of the dead. Songs focus on the morbid curiosity that humanity has with the afterlife. Each track touches on a different instance that attempts to rationalize that moment where life ceases and the journey through the realm of death begins.
An entirely analog production overseen by producer Pete deBoer (Blood Incantation, Devil Master, Spectral Voice), Necroverse was tracked live at Sonic Ranch Studios in Tornillo, Texas. The recording was done on an API Legacy Plus, a Studer 24-track tape machine, and a full complement of analog outboard gear. Notes drummer Speed Wilson, “The goal was to make a recording that sounds closer to what’s in our record collections, than to what records sound like now.”
HERAKLEION’s Necroverse EP, which features cover art by Noah Meihoff, is available on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats. Find orders at the HERAKLEION webshop HERE or Bandcamp HERE.
