Grunge-rock project BLANK ERA is releasing her intense debut EP, ROTTED. Accompanying the EP is an electrifying focus track titled "DEAD AS HELL."
"DEAD AS HELL" is an explosive track that embodies a powerful atmosphere. The confident vocals of BLANK ERA create an irresistible allure. According to Blank ERA,
""DEAD AS HELL" is an anthem for anyone ready to cut ties after reaching their breaking point. It captures that moment of clarity when you realize that no matter how hard you’ve fought to keep something alive, sometimes the only way to save yourself is to accept the loss and put it to rest.”
"ROTTED" is a blend of exhaustion and numbness that’s difficult to shake off. It feels as though everything that once brought you joy or hope is covered in a layer of grime from carrying the weight of too many hurts and disappointments. In a way, ROTTED. serves as both my villain origin story and a love letter to my past. It’s about recognizing when it’s time to let go of who you used to be and choosing to walk away from the parts of yourself that are broken. I felt compelled to create this EP as a way to work through all of the messy emotions and grief that come with shedding an old self in order to finally move forward," says BLANK ERA about the new EP.

ROTTED Track-list
1.) "BARELY ALIVE"
2.) "VILLAIN DRUG"
3.) "DIDN’T EXPECT THAT"

5.) "DEAD AS HELL"
