I think the new direction they’ll be going has a lot to do with their tunings. Most of the self titled album pretty much lived in drop F#. Then Nigh, Psalm, and Sol were all in drop E, which is as low as standard 8 string tuning. This is in drop D#, which is where Northlane wrote Obsidian. Something I noticed on this song was that the riffs weren’t quite as flashy and technical as they have been in the past, but they were very rhythmic and still quite groovy. I think as Erra is now exploring these lower registers (literally low than an 8 string) they’re focus is slightly shifting from technicality to rhythmic instrumentals. I’m feeling like their next work will be akin to Northlane with Alien and Obsidian. Alien is very electronic and lots of very heavy energetic songs. Obsidian still has electronics and good energy, but there’s more experimental parts and a slightly different feel while not being too much of a departure from alien. I think Erra will fundamentally keep the same sound as the self titled record, but add and replace different elements to keep it new. I’m so pumped

I completely agree! I think bands like Erra reach a point where they have explored so much technicality that if they push further in that direction, it almost risks sacrificing the musicality of their work. Although I don't love their newer work, I feel like relative to their past catalogue Architects has made a similar move.

It takes me a few listens to warm up to a lot of their new songs for some reason. Like when Nigh to Silence came out, I wasn’t fully sold on it. Now it’s one of my favorite songs. Excited to see how this one grows on me!

This song sounded a bit too basic for them on first listen. As did Nigh of Silence. Their stuff just has so much going on that it's hard to appreciate the intricate riffs and shit on first listen. Doesn't help that the vocals drown everything out a lot of the time and it's not due to the mixing, there's just a lot going on in the songs. The riffs in this are nuts. The chorus riff in particular is so tasty, there's zero chance Jesse plays that live while singing.

This one instantly got me. (I'm undecided still but this might be my new fav erra chorus). I like snowblood and scorpion hymm quite a bit but erra being pretty new to the scene changed there style quite a bit within a short period of time. With songs kike Sol Absentia, Pull From the Ghost etc I'm finding it harder and harder to go back to the original self titled. Idk or maybe it's just because I over played the hell out of ERRAs self titled.

some songs of erra take a little more time to process in our brain cause such a complex riff and melodies, but once you take it, you can't stop listen xD

I think this isn‘t part of a record right now. I assume it‘s a single for their tour also called "Pull from the Ghost", so I don‘t know if they‘re really "back" but it‘s nice to have a new song by them! Song itself is cool, I will listen to it a lot - but I also think Erra could change something. The song is good and all but their sound could take a bit more variety for me. 8.5/10 :)

This fits “Neon” so much.

I'm like... 90 percent sure JT and Jesse are alternataing cleans in the chorus, JT doing that first belt at the beginning. If that's the case, JT God DAYUM

Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland Polaris -almost all of them August Burns red -after rescue and restore till now Phinehas-The Fire itself Hollow front -the price of dreaming Texas in July -all of Their Discography If not for me- ep and the new album Erra -Self Titled and after it till now Like Mothes To flames -no eternity İn gold and pure like porcelain In My silence -a world gone quiet I The breather -entire discography Sirens and sailors - skeletons and After it Saviour - shine and fade . . . I'm sure I missed some of the names ...but right now... These guys are amongst top 5 producers in metal industry Be sure to check these bands if you like that crispy sound of guitars and those hammering snare drums

I need another erra album XD I wouldn't get tired of hearing the erra sound. Don't touch what works or you'll probably break it. 8.5/10 song

Pls pls pls do a reaction to harper's debut single falling, bogdan. You won't regret it trust me. Harper is a 10 year old girl with amazing vocal talent. She can scream properly at that age, it's sooooo amazing. 🤟🤟 Also there's some singing in there aswell. Btw: Harper is the step daughter from ben lumber of Acres. I don't know if you are familiar with this band but it's pretty good aswell imo. He also produced Harper's debut single. Also she was at america's got talent and performed spiritbox holy roller there. And on top of that she even performed live with courtney :o

So wait is this a single for an album?? Or is it just a single? Either way I love this track!!

Just a single on its own most likely. It's similar to when Neon came out, then they released Eye of God a year later, then no new music until a year after that when they were comin out with an album. New album will prob be late next year considering Erra follows a predictable schedule. All speculation though
