Released later this year, the EP will be available as a high-quality digital download (inc. artwork, notes and photographs) and in a limited, collector's-edition 7” vinyl format.
Here Zemial elaborate on their progressive sound and reach new heights of experimentation as the group’s founder and multi-instrumentalist Dimitrios Dorian (a.k.a. Vorskaath), conveys a dramatic narrative darker, more ominous and yet more expressive than ever before.
A thrilling and emotion-filled journey, "The Repairer of Reputations" ultimately stands as Zemial's most ambitious statement to date and represents the group's adventurous modus operandi in all its glory, thus being both a logical continuation of 2013's highly acclaimed "NYKTA" and the beginning of a new, more grandiose era.
Based on an equally mesmerizing Victorian tale of the same name, the ever-evolving piece masterfully reflects the protagonist's ambivalent journey, luring the listener into the role with its almost hypnotic nature.
Mastermind Dimitrios Dorian describes the piece's story as follows:
“Set at the end of the Victorian era, the tale chronicles the rise and fall of an unstable mind, as the character moves through insecurity, doubt, megalomania, arrogance and mortal fear.”
Recorded and produced in Vorskaath’s "Studio 9", using an old-style production approach, the EP introduces new instrumentation and soundscapes that will further enrich Zemial's captivating live performances as they begin touring across Europe in 2017.
