Eidola’s ‘Degeneraterra’ was one of my most cherished records 2015 thanks to its proggy take on post hardcore, impressive technical skills and immersive lyrical concept. When you invest so much into a band it can be nerve-racking waiting for new music; it’s exciting to know there’s more around the corner, but will it be as good as what came before?

‘Tetelestai’ dispels any nerves almost instantly, the track every bit as exciting, intense and profound as any of their previous work. As part of the Blue Swan Records family technical musicianship comes as standard – you don’t get to rub shoulders with Dance Gavin Dance, Hail The Sun and co. without it – but Eidola take this further thanks to the intelligence of their songwriting and thought-provoking lyrics. The combination of these aspects makes them one of the most awe-inspiring bands in the genre.

New record ‘To Speak, To Listen’ is out now and is every bit as impressive – if not more so – than the album that made me fall in love with them in the first. You can check out our review of the record here.
