Erra debut new video "Cure" and announce new album

Erra 24

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.

It's about the covid vaccine. Sponsored by Pfizer.

Just get Alan Rigdon back already. I swear they are gonna keep getting new guitarists over and over again until they realize that Alan and Jesse write amazing together. Impulse, Augment, Andromeda and The Self Titled Ep all kick ass.
