NEWS: Alera return with snake skin?

Not so long ago we thought that Australian Post-Hardcore crew Alera had ceased to exist but three weeks ago the gave us the gift of single “Killing For Something” from out of nowhere. As it turns out, the band have not only reunited but have been in the studio and now surprise release a reimagined version of their now four year old EP “Beware The Snake”. A music video for the redux rendition of “Hirudo” is now screaming.

The band comment: “When Alera said goodbye in 2023, the identity of the band had changed significantly from when the original version of this EP was written and recorded. Neither Corey [Cichowski, guitars] or Tony [Taylor, bass], who had been integral to what Alera had become, were involved in the creation of “Beware The Snake” whatsoever. This redux edition of the ep serves not to be a replacement of the original, but rather to be a different perspective on how this record could be interpreted from the lens of the Alera that we developed into”
