ABOUT THE ARTIST
Eskatology, also known as Jonathan Stier, is an Indigenous Hip-Hop/Rap artist from Adelaide who pays great respect to his aboriginal culture (Ngarrindjerri), and to his roots in Germany/Yugoslavia. Drawing from his experiences in dealing with struggles of anxiety and alcoholism from his teens, Eskatology doesn’t shy away from addressing difficult lyrical topics; including politics, diversity and religion.
Eskatology has performed alongside the likes of Xzibit, Snak the Ripper, and Cormega, as well as local talent that includes Jessica Mauboy, Mau Power and NJE. In 2018, Eskatology was nominated for ‘Best Indigenous & Torres Strait Islander’ at the South Australian Music Awards and was featured on the International Wu-ivasion Mixtape, hosted by Gza Genius of the Wu-Tang Clan.
Eskatology has an impressive discography that consists of two albums, ‘Eskape Reality’ (2017) and ‘2020 Visions’ (2019), as well as four singles/EPs: 2018’s ‘One Time 4 Ur Mind’, 2019’s ‘Don’t Leave Tonite’, 2020’s ‘Young Socrates’ and ‘You Say’. With his upcoming single, ‘Demons’, set to drop next month, Eskatology’s momentum in the Hip-Hop/Rap scene continues to build.
FEATURED RELEASE
Our featured single, ‘Demons’ by Eskatology, is out next month and will be available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The single lasts three minutes and four seconds and sits at a smooth 134bpm. The track commences with a fourteen second introduction that couples a solo instrumental section with spoken word; allowing Eskatology to create the atmosphere and mood for the proceeding verses. Eskatology’s vocal color is strong and emotive whilst also aligning with the smooth tone of the instrumental accompaniment.
Layered vocals provide the right amount of diversity for the chorus which follows a more melodic flow. The beat is systematically stripped back to add an emphasis on the powerful lyrical content. The amalgamation of meaningful subject matter, well balanced instrumentation, and Eskatology’s expert performance, make this upcoming single one that fans of Eskatology, as well as those who appreciate new and creative Hip-Hop/Rap, will definitely want to hear.
