Eriatarka is short for Eriatarka House of Facial and Muscular Corrections, the office of Dr. Wolfram Tarant, MD. Tarant has an unspecified number of dog heads for hands that gnaw and rip flesh apart and then lick the wounds (I believe their saliva has some sort of healing quality). This is Tarant’s method of surgery, which he uses to turn Cerpin into Clavietika Los Tres Ojos. The album is based on a book that Cedric Bixler-Zavala wrote about his friend Julio represented by the character Cerpin Taxt in the book.
