Erotic Secrets Of Pompeii Release New Single “Osiris At The Large Hadron Collider”

Apocalyptic Bristol, UK art rock outfit Erotic Secrets of Pompeii have returned with their new single Osiris At The Large Hadron Collider. The track showcases the band’s abilities to straddle multiple genres, bringing together post-punk and art rock to create something dark, mischievous and immersive that encapsulates the band’s febrile and unique sound. On the surface the track is a dichotomy of the old world and the new as Osiris At The Large Hadron Collider finds the Egyptian god of the dead confronting the pinnacle of man’s technological advances, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. However, peel back the layers and it is a song about hubris, supersedence and the fragility of the human condition, especially humanity’s obsession with death, faith and power.

“It’s a regretful realisation set to frenetic, staccato guitars and a pounding rhythm section which drive the song in a maniacal, mechanical motion, while the choruses ring out with vocal harmonies chanting with cult-like conviction.” (frontman Thomas Hawtin)

Following their UK tour in promotion of their debut EP, Trash Jugular, earlier this year, Erotic Secrets of Pompeii have been amassing a passionate fanbase with their incendiary live performances, laying the foundations for their highly anticipated debut album, Mondo Maleficum, that will be unveiled on the 25th January 2024, including on a limited edition blood-red vinyl variant. Mondo Maleficum is an album of angular, agitated art-rock and death-trip soliloquies, where the band flaunt their vile pageantry and conjure new gratuitous myths. The band invites you to join their bizarro death cult and act out grand magickal gestures at the grindhouse. Behold a new age of revelations where the secret to survival is to embrace your true authentic self, to accept death and be reborn in a weird, beautiful image of you.
