Similar to their past releases, “Pale Iris” presents a profound, introspective narrative courtesy of Cash’s prolific songwriting. As the song progresses, ERRA skillfully integrates atmospheric elements with their signature metalcore prowess, creating a unique fusion of boisterous sound. Read… Read more »

They are high-energy, playful and comical in their efforts both musically and visually, reminiscent of the likes of blink-182. It makes for the perfect callback. Guitarist Tristan Torres explains that “Manic” is the “ultimate… Read more »
