EPTA7 are preparing Schengen Reload for release on November 1, 2026, while seeking musicians for future recordings and live performances. The industrial metal project from Italy and Ireland currently operates as a duo following the departure of its former guitarist/vocalist.
The announcement also introduces the band's newest single, ‘Zombies Of The Third Millennium.’ It accompanies preparations for the album; no lyrical explanation or individual recording credits for the single are supplied.
EPTA7 combine heavy riffs with electronic textures, mechanical intensity and dark atmospheres. The release announcement places the project alongside Fear Factory, Rammstein and Samael as reference points for listeners, describing an approach that brings metal and industrial elements together.
The current lineup consists of Gianz Vukodlak, whose responsibilities include drums, samplers, backing vocals, lyrics and creative direction, and Miss Grey, who handles bass, backing vocals and visuals. Their roles extend across the project's musical and visual work.
With Schengen Reload approaching, EPTA7 are looking to expand that lineup for both recording and performance activity. The announcement identifies recruitment as part of the band's plans but names no incoming members or scheduled live dates.
