The Brazilian rising force in Melodic Death Metal, Erudica, have just released their highly anticipated second single, “Echoes Of Desolation”, which is now available on all major digital platforms.
Following the success of their debut single and music video “Gaia”, the band returns with an even more ferocious and impactful sound.
Formed in 2020, Erudica is the brainchild of captivating vocalist Caroline Ferreira and skilled guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Patrik Correa. Drawing inspiration from heavyweights such as Arch Enemy and The Agonist, the duo has taken a brave step on their latest release, digging deeper into more classic melodic death/thrash metal. With “Echoes Of Desolation”, they move away from the orchestral and symphonic elements of their previous release, opting instead for a raw, aggressive approach marked by crushing, melodic and brutally powerful guitar riffs.
Caroline Ferreira‘s vocal prowess shines through on “Echoes Of Desolation” where she unleashes a torrent of rage through her ferocious growls, tackling profound themes that reflect humanity’s final reckoning – a requiem for a world suffering due to the greed of those who are supposed to protect and lead. “Greed! We reap what we sow, in this case our total destruction and annihilation by our own actions”, Caroline comments.

Patrik Correa explains the direction of the new single: “For this new single we decided to focus on raw energy and the massive heaviness of the guitars with pulsating drums. We pushed aside the beautiful melodies a bit to focus on more direct and violent ones”.
Erudica‘s lyrics explore the terrible consequences of human greed and the relentless struggle against the dehumanizing forces of systemic oppression. Each song offers a visceral narrative that powerfully blends rage and hope, resonating deeply with listeners.
Both, “Echoes Of Desolation” and previously released single “Gaia” will be featured on Erudica’s upcoming debut EP, also titled “Gaia”, scheduled for release later this year.
