‘A masterpiece’ – @louderthanwarofficial
At last, at last… we give birth to the live snake nest that is ‘Mondo Maleficum’. We hope you enjoy our debut album – it was a true, herculean labour of love, from we to you 💀🖤

WOAH! @louderthanwarofficial have included us in their "Albums of the Year so Far" article - rubbing shoulders with some legends (@bigspecial_@bobbyvylan@idlesband@fat_white_family@wearejames@st_vincent@thelovelyeggs ) Here’s what they say about our album 'Mondo Maleficum':
“Erotic Secrets of Pompeii have absorbed everything from the history of cerebral, dark & strange rock music, but seem outlandishly original somehow. Very few debut albums come as fully formed and as ornately finished, as lyrically bizarre and musically fresh as this. There is not much from the past twenty years that holds a candle to it in terms of breadth of imagination, iconography and bewilderment. It’s an odyssey that takes in Greek myth, Gothicism, Magick, the apocalypse, pre-history and of course love, sex & death and Rock’n’Roll.”

Happy Bandcamp Friday all! To celebrate, rid ourselves of the post-tour blues, and most importantly say thank you all for supporting us, we are offering 15% off all merch, physical & digital releases on Bandcamp – to all those who have signed up to our mailing list!
This includes the translucent blood red Mondo Maleficum vinyl (which we’ve almost sold out of!) and... introducing the new range of ESOP blood drop beanies. 🩸 Previously, only available at the merch stand, these hand-knitted beanies were made with love by the multi-talented ESOP collaborator Louise Schwarz. We have them in black and a limited number in grey, pink and white. One size fits all. Real wool, sourced in the EU.
Those who are on the mailing list – please enjoy all the luxury the special discount code brings you! Those who wish to join – see link in bio.

“Make eccentricity sexy again! It's more or less done…” – a bold statement from the Gallic periodical Guts of Darkness, in reference to our debut album. Read the très bien review from those gutsy dark-dwellers in mellifluous French here: rb.gy/r2ifjy (see story).
Speaking of sexy… take a look at our overt weapon Tom Hackwell (@tom_hackwell_producer ) swinging his mighty axe like the luxurious lumberjack he is. Beware saplings and fruit-bearing perennials!

“…with the band bedecked in red and black, they appeared like Kraftwerk, reimagined by Aleister Crowley.”
A new review has emerged from the relentless noise of the internet – a lovely thing from @musomusouk – capturing the frenzied fever from the last night of the Mondo Maleficum Tour!
