Toni made some initial freehand illustrations for the upcoming vinyl.

"Hanging Garden ei ole enää mikään linjaansa hakeva jätkäporukka, mutta niin vaan kehitys on terävimmillään viiden raidan ep:llä Hereafter. Dynaamisesti ja jämptisti yhtye hakee kontrasteja melankoliseen pään riiputtamiseensa. Metallisuus tässä on pitkälle laulutekninen kysymys, vaikka bändiä sopii suositella esimerkiksi Katatonian nykytilaan pettyneille tai hiljaisuuteen vaipuneen Ghost Brigaden korvaajaksi. Tällä levyllä kierrätetään vierailevia solisteja, mikä osaltaan luo lisää eloa niin sävypalettiin kuin tyylillisiin ulottuvuuksiin asti."

Antti Luukkanen (Soundi 9/2016)

On today's agenda: Bass!

A great review from Terra Relicta, 8,5/10.

"Everything is about subtle, melancholic, atmospheric, heart rending sound that flirts with heavy and extreme when needed."

"One thing is sure, Hanging Garden have evolved musically so much over the years that I don't see any limits for them."

We're playing live with Oddland and Counting Hours on November 26th at Vernissa club.

"If you’re a fan of all their earlier albums, you will be happy to find that Hereafter will take you on a pleasant journey on how Hanging Garden has evolved musically over the years."

Soundscape magazine gave 9/10

"All in all, a fantastic EP. Hanging Garden are consistently good and Hereafter is testament to this. Already excited to see what they’ll cook up next!" - Natalie Humphries

Review from Kaaoszine, in Finnish.

"Vierailijat on valittu hyvin, ja jokainen heistä tuo omanlaistaan vaihtelua taidolla rakennettuihin kappaleisiin. ”Hereafter” on tyylikäs, melankolinen ja syksyisen kuulas pienoisteos pimeisiin ja koleisiin iltoihin." 8/10

90/100 review from Infernal Masquerade.

"Overall, Hanging Garden delivers a great EP release filled with excellent songs and guest appearances. If you like atmospheric music that is both melancholic and creative, look no further and get a copy of “Hereafter”."

Inferno premiers our latest music video of the track "Sirkle of Onan" from the new EP!

Hereafter EP available for streaming at Inferno magazine.

"Hereafter on taiten rakennettu kokonaisuus, joka etenee alun runttaavammasta vaiheesta luonnollisesti lopun eteerisempiin tunnelmiin. Pikkukiekko saakin janoamaan lisää, sillä yhtye tuntuu olevan juuri nyt suorastaan tappavassa vireessä."

- Mika Roth (desibeli.net).

90/100 from Musika.be. Cheers!

"Het enige minpunt aan deze ‘Hereafter’ is dat dit geen langspeler is, de plaat doet je verlangen naar meer van deze Hanging Garden. Alle fans van het genre mogen deze niet laten schieten."

First reviews (in Finnish) coming in...

Murska-arviot gave 4,5/5.

"Suhteellisen simppeleihin kappaleisiin on kontrasteja hyväksikäyttäen ladattu äärettömän lumoava ja hämärä tunnelma, ettei juuri parempaa soundtrackia syksylle voisi keksiä tai toivoa."
