Greek progressive groove metal band HERTA have announced the release of a full live album and complete concert video, captured during their landmark headline show at KYTTARO Live Club / ΚΥΤΤΑΡΟ in Athens, Greece, on December 21, 2025.

The performance marked a defining moment for the band: their first-ever headline appearance, their largest show to date, and the first time Crossing the Illusion was performed live in its entirety. Nearly 650 fans filled the historic venue, creating an intense and mystical atmosphere.

Organized entirely independently by Herta alongside Psyanide, NonLinearband, and Eyesever, the event featured a custom-designed light show and several special guest appearances, including Sakis Tolis, Fotis Benardo, George Prokopiou, and Marios Iliopoulos.

The concert was filmed by John Nikolopoulos and his experienced crew using high-end equipment provided by Manou Karapetsis, while the audio was captured through a professional multitrack recording by sound engineer Vasilis Pappas. The show will be released as a full concert video on YouTube and a live album across major streaming platforms before Summer 2026.

The release closes the “Crossing the Illusion” era as Herta begin work on their second album.
