Welcome to a world where everything frays at the seams and burns forever madly, a world beneath the ashes of which, love and imagination blossom uncontrollably.
Welcome to the world of MONDO MALEFICUM – the debut album from Erotic Secrets of Pompeii.
Released on 25th Jan 2024, MONDO MALEFICUM is an album of agitated art-rock death-trip soliloquies, where ESOP flaunt their diabolical pageantry while conjuring up gratuitous myths.
Hailing from Bristol, UK, Erotic Secrets of Pompeii have received airplay on BBC Radio 6, Radio X and BBC Introducing. ESOP’s music is populated with grotesque imagery and vivid symbolism, drawing from artists across different mediums, such as Lynch, Dali, Bacon, Blake, Cronenberg, Jodorowsky, Mapplethorpe.
Armed with their Dionysian live shows, the band is primed for a huge 2024, with dates across March and May already booked in for their headline UK album tour.
