Heavy New Album from Nashville Psych Rockers De3ra


Nashville based heavy psychedelic/rock n' roll band DE3RA released their new album "Old Scratch" 

Of the new album De3ra state, "Each song has to do with soul-crushing struggle and suffering and how each of us deal with it, as human beings,” the band says. “In some cases, people can become resolute and rise to their specific challenges, but in other cases, folks will appeal to whatever darkness that they can find. Old Scratch was inspired by the idea that our minds can so frequently come to balance precipitously on the edge of the void that it is not preposterous to imagine them slipping away, into the darkness."

In comparison to "This Thing", which is their first album, "Old Scratch" is a much more cohesive piece of art as a whole. Each song has to do with soul crushing struggle and suffering, and how each of us deal with it, as human beings. In some cases, people can become resolute and rise to their specific challenges, but in other cases, folks will appeal to whatever darkness that they can find.  "Old Scratch" was inspired by the idea that our minds can so frequently come to balance precipitously on the edge of the void that it is not preposterous to imagine them slipping away, into the darkness. 

DE3RA, formed in 2017, is a four piece band that creates music with an emphasis on collaboration.  Rob, Kevin, Haydn and Layton often switch instruments during their creative process, and all write/sing different songs in the project.  The DE3RA sound is the outcome of four intense and different personalities.  While each member has their own distinct writing style, every song fits into the unique style and sonics of DE3RA.
