NEWS: Alera unveil fourth single “Hirudo”…
…which just so happens to be the opening cut of the Melbourne post-hardcore outfits next weekend releasing debut EP “Beware The Snake”, produced by Christopher Vernon (Belle Haven, Better Half). Having already heard it and inked a review to be published next week we can safely say the band are at the forefront of a resurgence of the 2000s era genre sound…
“Hirudo” (Meaning ‘Leech’ in latin) is about being in love with a person that is only interested in taking. The band delve deeper to explain, “across its short runtime, a story is told from the perspective of the giver in this relationship after ending things. Ridden with bitterness and remorse, the song closes with a cautionary warning for the listener – beware the snake.”
