Progressive metalcore quintet ERRA have released their new single Scorpion Hymn, taken from their forthcoming self-titled album.
“The song features almost the entire spectrum of my voice,” says vocalist J.T. Cavey. “Producer Grant McFarland and Jesse Cash [guitarist] assisted on creating an ominous chorus that gets stuck in your head. The title refers to the fable of The Scorpion and the Frog, about the nature of violent instinct. It lent a means of having aggressive lyrics to complement the aggressive style of the instrumentals. The theme deviates in the middle section with about eight lines about self-reflection, hazy identity, perhaps imposter syndrome, and as the final group of lines that summarise the development of jaded feelings towards aged aspirations.”
ERRA, the band’s self-titled album, is due for release on 19th March 2021 via UNFD, available to pre-order HERE.
