ERRA have shared their cover of Muse‘s “Stockholm Syndrome.” This track is from the deluxe edition of the band’s self-titled album, which will be released on March 18.
Jesse Cash commented:
“The first time I heard Muse‘s ‘Stockholm Syndrome‘, I thought, ‘This song is begging to be covered by a metal band. It has aggressive riffs, soaring vocals, keyboard arpeggios, and a big ending breakdown. It has all the necessary materials to be contextualized into an ERRA song.
The chromatic guitar octaves in the verses also left me a lot of room to play with some chromatic groove riffs in the style of Meshuggah. I realized as long as I maintained the root notes of those original octaves, I could kind of be as creative as I wanted during those verses. I also adjusted the original tuning from Drop D to Drop E and tuned the guitar down an entire octave to make the song low, heavy, and more akin to the range ERRA generally tunes in.”
