The Vaultus Emeritus

Early experimentation and signature works from the wider archive.

Shock Treatment

Even before he could fully play, Evet was exploring the electric guitar's limitless sonic possibilities. “Shock Treatment” captures that early experimental space-industrial impulse.

Hyperbeautiful

“Hyperbeautiful” is one of Evet's signature songs, alongside works such as “Go Go Galactic,” “Stab,” “She's a Goddess” and “Sweet Tyranny.”
