Erra release new music video for ‘Pale Iris’

ERRA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Pale Iris, is the brand new single from the Alabamian progressive metalcore band and follows on from their previous single, Pull From The Ghost, which was released back in November last year.

“The first half of the song is a long crescendo to get us into the bridge where the song takes a darker turn and remains there until the end,” explains guitarist/vocalist Jesse Cash, offering a deeper look into the songwriting process. “Everything before is meant to create tension to serve that big release and make it as impactful as possible. The tuning drops five semitones in the bridge to further lend to the impact and shift of energy. It is essentially a song written for an 8-string guitar, but executed on 7-string thanks to the convenience of modern pitch-shifting.”

He continues, sharing what else inspired the song, 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.”
