Musical Style and Influences
Era Vulgaris displays influences from many different genres. The album departs from the softer, hollowbody guitar sound of their previous album Lullabies to Paralyze with heavy, crunchy guitars and adding in some electronic influences. Rolling Stone noted the influence of "New Wave synth geek Gary Numan…all over this record." Musically, the album has been described as "brand new retro", a fusion of "punk, rock, blues and southern grit" (FHM), and slower, moodier, and groggier than the band's previous efforts.
