Heto (Deluxe Edition) | Z3RØ x JP B. Bantigue

Heto Deluxe Edition is built upon the original concept album Heto—the same set of tracks, the same emotions, but this time, finally given the sound they always deserved. The concept album was released years ago under my name, yet I’ve always felt more connected to the character of Zero in my stories—the same one who later evolved into the Z3RØ persona on Suno. Even the photo used for the persona was taken from a picture of me years back. In many ways, Z3RØ is me—just from a different time.

All twelve tracks from the original Heto return here, reimagined or refined through Suno. Some pieces were rewritten to feel more like complete songs, while others retain their original lines to preserve the rawness of how they were first written. Certain tracks, such as “Pluto (Extended)”, “Away (Extended)”, and “Heto (Extended)”, carry the Extended tag—these were previously generated as songs using updated lyrics, then revisited and re-covered using a different persona to give them a distinct texture and tone.

“Wednesday (Original)” is new to the lineup, though it’s rooted in the same source poem that inspired YUKICHAN’s “Wednesday.” I called it Original since the poem was written in English to begin with—it’s more of a homecoming than a cover.

Finally, “A Eulogy for None” closes the album as a bonus track. It was originally titled Zero, and though the version here has been reworked, it carries the same sentiments at its core—a quiet reflection on identity, endings, and self-acceptance. Unlike the others, this piece may be released under no persona or a new one entirely.

In the end, Heto Deluxe Edition isn’t about change—it’s about continuity. The same words, the same stories, just sung by the person who finally found his voice.

About Z3RØ

Z3RØ is the reflection of a path untaken — a persona born from late-night streets, blurred lights, and unspoken weight. He carries the sound of a generation caught between rebellion and reflection, where every track feels like a journal entry written under city neon.

For Heto Deluxe Edition, Z3RØ represents the version of me who once wrote without fear of imperfection. He’s the echo of that creative phase — messy, honest, uncertain — but now armed with the tools to turn those fragments into full stories. Z3RØ isn’t an alter ego; he’s the remnant of who I was before I learned how to express myself.
