ERRA have shared their first new music of 2023, by dropping single ‘Pale Iris’.
The brilliantly intense new tune arrives just ahead of the progressive metalcore outfit’s return to the road, in support of Bad Omens from September.
‘Pale Iris’ arrives with a music video that embodies the powerful spirit of the track – have a watch and a listen below.
Explaining the origins of the song, guitarist and vocalist Jesse Cash has detailed a very specific reference, saying:
“I watched a 2017 Lovecraftian film called The Endless that had this scene where the protagonist realizes a second moon has appeared in the sky. That scene always stuck with me.
“I can’t recall whether it was implied that the moons were the eyes of Cthulhu or directly suggested, but that concept was so fun to me, to imagine there were two giant eyes looking down at us malevolently.
“From that, I imagined the idea of two coins over the eyes of a corpse resembling two moons over a lifeless earth staring into space.”
The new release follows ERRA’s collab single ‘World Unknown’ with PhaseOne, which arrived at the end of last year.
