K-pop boy band VIXX is returning with a new release.

Inspired by Greek mythology, the group’s yearlong trilogy “2016 Conception” will conclude with the upcoming EP “Kratos,” referring to the Greek mythological god of war.

To gear up for the release, the group shared teaser images featuring the bandmates with their eyes covered by strips of black lace via official social media channels Tuesday morning.

The photos were created in collaboration with fashion and beauty photographer David Byun, who worked on the EP “Beautiful Liar” in 2015 by the group’s first subunit VIXX LR, according to management agency Jellyfish Entertainment.

The trilogy project kicked off earlier this year with the album “Zelos” in April, followed by “Hades” in August.

The lead tracks from both albums, “Dynamite” and “Fantasy,” respectively, appeared on Billboard’s World Digital Songs chart upon release.

“Kratos” will be available on local music sites on Oct. 31.
