New Orleans death thrash trio HERAKLEION will unleash Live Through Eternity independently on October 16th.
The nine-track live recording was captured on April 17th of this year at Chelsea’s Live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana while supporting Obituary. The album is the entire, unedited, and un-doctored HERAKLEION performance from the evening. It was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Paul Emden. No tracks were added or altered during or after the performance. This is the band, live off the soundboard, and nothing more.
The band comments, “Live Through Eternity captures everything about our live show that we felt the studio albums lack. Every song is faster, angrier, and tighter when we’re onstage. The recording took place at one show and was one continuous take. It wasn’t staged, overdubbed, or compiled over the course of an entire tour, and it wasn’t aligned to a grid. No dead air was cut. No extra crowd noise was added. Nothing was altered. What is on tape is what went on at the show. We’d just come off a tour with Exhorder and were supporting Obituary on this night. We were primed and ready for anything and anyone.”
Live Through Eternity will be released on CD and cassette formats with digital to follow at a later date. Find preorders HERE.

Fast rising HERAKLEION released their critically adored Necroverse EP independently last Fall. The offering boasts five tracks of living, seething death thrash that serves as the listener’s vessel from the world of mortality into the realm of the dead. Songs focus on the morbid curiosity that humanity has with the afterlife.
HERAKLEION – named after an ancient Egyptian city that was thought to be a myth but was actually discovered underwater in 2000 – was forged in 2020 when drummer Speed Wilson, met guitarist/vocalist Apollo Xydias. Bassist Christian Woerner rounded out the lineup in April of the following year. Influenced by the likes of Morbid Angel, Pestilence, and Voïvod, the band spent the Summer writing and tracked what was intended to be their first demo. Duane Simoneaux (Crowbar, Down, Exhorder) of OCD Recording And Production was brought in to mix and master those tracks, which saw release as the band’s debut EP, Curse Of Eternity, in February 2022. Since that time, HERAKLEION has been booking itself across the Southeast US to promote their debut, including a handful of small tours with Goatwhore, Skeletal Remains, Exhorder, and more.
