Progressive metalcore innovators Erra have revealed details about their upcoming album Cure, set for release on April 5 via UNFD. The band's sixth offering expands on the foundation laid on their self-titled release in 2021.
The title track from the album has also been accompanied by a new video.
Guitarist/vocalist Jesse Cash says:
'Cure' was one of the last songs we wrote for the records. I had this groove riff that I was just so obsessed with, to the point that I wanted to stay with it for the full duration of the song. So even though the song stays in 4/4 for the most part, we're always staying locked into this dotted sequence of on rhythm guitars and kick, making the rhythm feel complex yet easy to latch onto as a listener. In the final breakdown section, we stay with this dotted sequence, but switch the time signature to 6/8 for a few bars, before reverting back to 4/4 to close out the song. These playful tinkerings with time signature serve as a suitable introduction to the approach we took with grooves throughout the whole record.
