Cavey, Jesse Cash, Conor Hesse, Alex Ballew, and Clint Tustin, have unleashed their punishing new single and accompanying music video for “Pale Iris.” Cavey’s commanding growl takes you in a chokehold within seconds of the new track kicking in, his grip unyielding until Cash provides an ephemeral respite. 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 »

Just ahead of the release of their seventh studio album Hard Reset, The Word Alive frontman Telle Smith stopped by the idobi Studios in North Hollywood and told me why the latest era of the band truly is a… hard reset. From a recent lineup change to signing with Thriller Records—a new label created by Fearless Records founder Bob Becker—Hard Reset is inspired by self-reflection in a shut down world, a fresh start within the band’s camp, and a new perspective for Smith following a healthy break-up.
