God damn has it been 5 years already since this incredible front to back masterpiece of an album was created? It has had such an amazing and positive impact on my life by arriving in a time of Great Depression uncertainty and turmoil and it helped me survive and rebuild whom I am as a human rejoice in life for it’s equal beauty and anguish respectively in such a beautiful way and I thank JT Jesse and Alex for the most relate able and resonating songs I’ve heard in my life you guys always will be one of my top favorite groups no matter if it’s Garry lee or JT on vocals or Ian but just saying JT has been bringing straight FIRE the past 2 albums
They got some controversy over that album cover because Oceans Ate Alaska released an album in early 2015 with a similar looking cover but that's all settled now haha.
He uses a completely different style than he did with TIJ and still manages to sound unique among the range of very similar sounding vocalists in this genre.
AJ Kay Different style? He's using a completely generic scream. There is nothing "different" about his scream. He sounds like every other underground metal vocalist. Just accept that Garrison was the best.
Hybrid Spektar there are a lot more distinctions that you're not catching onto, Garrison was great at what he did, but at the end of the day JT is now the vocalist and in my opinion, he's killing it. He told me he was called in to do these vocals and had less than a month to prepare, and it still sounds amazing.
I'm not giving up I'M GIVING INNNNN.....SO LET'S BEGIN AGAINNNNNN! Amazing and I don't mean his voice is like amazing it's good but it's how pure that he sang it from the heart that makes it so amazing.
Mannn I remember when this album first came out, it was an amazing year for metal! New bands emerging, underground bands gaining fame, and older bands experimenting with different genres of metal! Actually I remember my friends and I waiting for the exact second the album dropped online so we could download and listen to it. Halfway through the first song, I'm already trying to learn the tapping riff during the intro. Good times man, good times.
Very awesome! I was surprised they didn't have a full band shot. My first impression was they looked disinterested. But the music video was cool. Just wasn't what I expected.
+Brandon Burch Well, there isn't currently a bassist, and Jesse did all the bass on the album. So that would have been a bit weird, but still would have been great.
+Tactical Scout I liked it it too, while everyone calls it boring i'd say it fits well with most of the atmosphere that Drift has, it has a calming relaxing atmosphere almost througout, so having them be alittle bit calm in the video fits well, i really like it.
+Adam Troutman You're actually the real dumbass here to be honest. If for you, screaming can not be calming and relaxing then I believe you must be new to this genre. Listen to "Paper lung" by underoath, "hospital for souls" by bring me the horizon, "chicago" by the Devil Wears Prada, "Obelisk" by Northlane, all these songs have got screams in them but can be listened to for relaxation and calm. It all depends on the way you want to listen to the song. No need to be einstein to understand that.
+Tactical Scout The video is fucking sick. The problem with bands like Erra is that they are so far from your generic craft that people usually miss the point of how dope what they do is. ... These lines only should make people understand the concept of the video. The video was made to be "irreversible", it's "A sequence of events unfolding in reverse" . And do people even read lyrics?! Gosh I can't be the only one that understood how fucking sick the video fit the song!
am i the only one that thinks that sequence from 2:10-2:18 is the most epic sounding shit ive ever heard? i wish they had more riffs that sounded like that.
+erich casey You're NOT the only one, nigga. The very first time I listened to this song that rift forcefully blew my pants clean of my body. It's also my favorite part of the song. It's funny, really, such a short rift can have that much effect. That's Erra in a nutshell haha
i would love so much to see a music video with you guys as a group showcasing your talent collectively...all i see now is just single shots of each player..lets see the band together, lets get the LIVE feel
Need more lyric videos from you guys! Of all the metal bands I know, Erra are the most likely to be appreciated by people who don't like metal (I think). If there were more lyric videos, they wouldn't be able to say that they can't understand the words and they might actually find something more in the music aside from "how can you listen to screaming?".
There screamer is actually very easy to understand, might just be because I am a metal vocalist myself because I hear the same thing, "how can you understand what they are saying" but compared to most vocalist, his lyrics are easy to make out, I actually wish he would go for more ranges instead personally haha - make them even more epic af!
9HP I think you missed the point of what I was saying! Haha, I can understand the vocals because I've been listening to metal for most of my life, and if I can't understand it doesn't matter to me at all lol. I started a course recently and a lot of people there say stuff like "how do you listen to that, can't even understand it" etc. Lyric videos are the best way of showing them what it's all about! So that they can understand. It's about getting people who aren't into it, into it.. Or to at least appreciate it.
Agreed! Have been through the exact same with a lot of people in my life haha - lyric video's and/or a good balance of clean & heavy vocals for people new to the genre definitely tend to help.
+9HP theirs a website you can go to its Erra lyrics click on that and than it will say dark lyrics click on it and Thats where all there lyrics are at.
Saw these guys live in Seattle on Halloween w/ After the Burial, it was just two of the best bands ever w/ multiple band mates cross dressing and the drummer was dressed as Night Man from IASIP no big deal.
Got a playlist which is like a bible for me, with only good rock/heavy music with over 3000 songs scaling all the way back to 2011, i've had many songs as my current "favorite" and my favorites changed each month. But regardless. Erra is definately my top 3 choice EVER. I cannot get enough of. I fucking love this band.
I love ERRA as you can tell but the ying to Jessie's yang in songwriting (Alan Rigdon) is missing. Songs from Impulse and Augment were magical when both were together. Jessie is a good songwriter he just needs someone to play off of to create the magic again. The new ERRA songs are passable but not the beautifulness I fell in love with and I think thats the reason.
One of the better songs on the album... The singer reminds me so much of Carl from Misery Signals/Solace. More so in this song than any other. Love it.
The front man should be doing the clean vocals. If it was his cleans I'd buy the album right now. When he was in Texas in July it was one of the best albums of that year. The guitarists cleans are way to high and belongs in our last night.

Jesse's voice never fails to get me emotionally and give me them chills
I can’t count how many times I’ve listened this masterpiece!
I saw it live late last year. Ridiculous....
Dude my wife is pissed it’s at least 4 fucking times a day for the last 8 months
6 times today lol
Such intricate notes holy crap
Have you ever heard of Duelyst?
the hypnotist is by far the one song on this album with the most intricate guitar work
from 2:45 - 3:13 gives me goosebumps every time.
Progressive Metalcore + Jellyfishes = success
+Iamnoname98 Fuck yeah jellyfishes
+ Northface
They got some controversy over that album cover because Oceans Ate Alaska released an album in early 2015 with a similar looking cover but that's all settled now haha.
+Kyle Triggs but oceans ate Alaska is ass and this band is actually good
+RoastBeefSandwich false
First song I ever heard by them, 2:45 is amazing pure chills!
Ever heard echoes by the novelists? Heard that and this same day. Years ago. Now two of my favorite bands
Ever heard echoes by the novelists? Heard that and this same day. Years ago. Now two of my favorite bands
"Reverse perception reversing imperfections"
Love this line. such good, thought provoking lyrics outta these guys
everyone talking about 2:45 but dude... DUDE. 3:43 to 4:06. the "UGH" gives me chills every single time.
すげーの一言
サウンド自体がこんな綺麗なバンドは初めてだわ。好き
JT is so versatile. he's such a good fit for this band. this record is fantastic :)
He doesn't even hold a candle to Garrison.
versatile? he only has like 1 range, he cant really do lows or highs, just... lower versions of his mid range scream
He uses a completely different style than he did with TIJ and still manages to sound unique among the range of very similar sounding vocalists in this genre.
AJ Kay Different style? He's using a completely generic scream. There is nothing "different" about his scream. He sounds like every other underground metal vocalist. Just accept that Garrison was the best.
Hybrid Spektar there are a lot more distinctions that you're not catching onto, Garrison was great at what he did, but at the end of the day JT is now the vocalist and in my opinion, he's killing it.

0:39 "Be aware of the darkness that lies, beneath the surface of Detroit"
I'm not giving up I'M GIVING INNNNN.....SO LET'S BEGIN AGAINNNNNN! Amazing and I don't mean his voice is like amazing it's good but it's how pure that he sang it from the heart that makes it so amazing.
I'm just realizing how much the guitarist is actually singing and it's super amazing!!
Mannn I remember when this album first came out, it was an amazing year for metal! New bands emerging, underground bands gaining fame, and older bands experimenting with different genres of metal! Actually I remember my friends and I waiting for the exact second the album dropped online so we could download and listen to it. Halfway through the first song, I'm already trying to learn the tapping riff during the intro. Good times man, good times.
Erra, you KILLED it with this new album. Officially a hardcore ERRA fanboy.
No likes!!? 6 years later… agreed!!!
Damn, JT "too good not to be in a band" Cavey, Killing it.
Every single song from these guys is a perfect mix of beauty and brutality. Perfection
Erra, Silent Planet, and ABR all in one SHOW OMG
Diarrhea.
Don't forget Make Them Suffer!
I just heard about em from this new tour. i'm liking their stuff!
Yeah they planned two North American tours this year but both of cancelled, so fingers crossed!
Saw them all play together at there Long Island show and omg it was amazing
The line "I'm not giving up, I'm giving in" 😩👌🏾
Every song makes me want to cry it’s so good. Thanks gents!
Jesse knows how to write a chorus
He's written it in a lot of songs now #toosame-y
+Adam Troutman I agree with you bro. Great band but Jesse needs to switch it up some maybe.
+nathan cozad Naaaah the way he sings and style is what his voice is made for
Very awesome! I was surprised they didn't have a full band shot. My first impression was they looked disinterested. But the music video was cool. Just wasn't what I expected.
+Brandon Burch Well, there isn't currently a bassist, and Jesse did all the bass on the album. So that would have been a bit weird, but still would have been great.
its like "calm" version of them. so chill to listen their new stuff.
Why does the chilled composure make this song even more badass
This is one of the most chill albums I’ve ever heard.
Fuck yea new erra stuff
q nada
+DYÊGO OLIVEIRA que nada o que cara
depinga :v
+Victor Martínez Depinga?
Dasking Games Genial ps...
A fantastic edit makes this cheap video highly watchable
JT!!!
Nice, didn't expect you here :) Great music taste, as always, Lauren :D
Ambria Nova
Lauren Babic
That blue Ibanez with the gold pickups/hardware is a beauty. Song is sick also.
This is the song that made me a full fledged fan. That weird tremolo (? I’m not a guitarist) sounds so cool. Almost like a dubstep wub turned to 11.
Album just gets better with each listen. Unreal work, guys - looking forward to catching you on tour again soon!
Nunca decepcionan, sinceramente los amo, & espero que algún día vengan a Argentina
The kind of song that gives you the chills everytime you listen to it. Killin' the game Erra!
Too bad the video doesn't do the same....
zomboobiez Yeah. The video leaves something to be desired. Still a good one though.
Fuck I love this band. This album is damn near perfection
Am I the only one who thought that the video was sick?
+Tactical Scout I liked it it too, while everyone calls it boring i'd say it fits well with most of the atmosphere that Drift has, it has a calming relaxing atmosphere almost througout, so having them be alittle bit calm in the video fits well, i really like it.
+Madara ok dumbass, screaming is not calming and relaxing. If you guys wanna act like you're into instrumentation, you look dumb.
+Adam Troutman You're actually the real dumbass here to be honest. If for you, screaming can not be calming and relaxing then I believe you must be new to this genre.

+erich casey Errra has a lot of amazing parts that are really short in this album, like Skyline's 2:55 for example
It's the one part I wish was longer, guitar gives me chills every time.
Same homie, that part is the sound of Erra.
Pull me closer, when silence consumes you I'll speak words softer ❤️
Jesse's rockin that Puddle of Mudd look
Yes!!! Cavey from Texas in July!!!
i would love so much to see a music video with you guys as a group showcasing your talent collectively...all i see now is just single shots of each player..lets see the band together, lets get the LIVE feel

Nate Pipkins yeah but like.. "Lyric videos"
THIS SONG GETS BETTER FOR EVERY SECOND, THAT IS MATERIALLY IMPOSIBLE
Physically* the language barriers in this comment section is strong.
+Madara I can't speak english, sorry, I'm argentinian, here lenguaje is spanish
You guys are totally awesome, so glad that I met your music and got into them so much.
2:11-2:19 best riff of the whole song
Really good song!! Those cleans around 3:00 really remind me of both Anthony Green and Cove Reber (Saosin)
Sounds exactly like cove. So sick.
I love the guitar opening its dope
Saw these guys live in Seattle on Halloween w/ After the Burial, it was just two of the best bands ever w/ multiple band mates cross dressing and the drummer was dressed as Night Man from IASIP no big deal.

Great syncing to the songs energy, watching and moshing and blinking in sync really did make me shiver with the vids flow.
this song made me a fan. LOOOOOOOOVE the bridge soft part.
Amo este album(Drift)
drummer's emotions are fascinating
playing in my hometown on my birthday. fantastic.
ufffffffffffffffffffff¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ sin palabras
"There is no failsafe." Hello, Misery Signals.
Favorite song on the album by far.
This is the best song I have ever heard.
Love this band. They crush this song live!
One of the coolest metal songs this decade
Love this song with all my heart.
so this is where jt cavey ended up. weird to think I watched his vocal covers years ago here on UA-cam
yeah his talent didnt go unnoticed. from youtube to texas in july to erra.
ERRA's awesome as always. Awesome job dudes.
I love ERRA as you can tell but the ying to Jessie's yang in songwriting (Alan Rigdon) is missing. Songs from Impulse and Augment were magical when both were together. Jessie is a good songwriter he just needs someone to play off of to create the magic again. The new ERRA songs are passable but not the beautifulness I fell in love with and I think thats the reason.
Fucking poop man.
TheNamelessYeti huh? lol
You're right,where are the spacial black holes and overwhelming beings in this new lyrics?
Justin Erra POOOPIESSSSS
They aren't the same without Garrison on vocals. The music suffers cause of crappy generic vocals
never heard this band until this song came out.... i'm glad i found them
The only thing i want to say is, i love ur works and cash's voice..
erra is so awesome, never stop making sick music!
2:41. Drum fill intro to the best part of the song. No doubt.
so excited for the future of this band
i like this ...very good ...scream oooooooorrr goooddddddd
Лучшие, как минимум одни из лучших
BRASIL ERRA!! ÓTIMAS MÚSICAS
Erras best album.
Life changing
I'm in love with this album
The music is fantastic.
This band reminds me of a heavy metal version of Saosin. It's great! Love this.
One of the better songs on the album... The singer reminds me so much of Carl from Misery Signals/Solace. More so in this song than any other. Love it.
Amazing stuff! Too much talent in one band! :D :D
This is perfection
this album is Art literally from intro song to finish
Still amazing
this song is so ridiculously good
esta de poca madreeeeeee
Absolutely love this band!
just discovered this band, they sound sick as hell.
2:18 till the end..just..wow
cant go wrong with erra
Que coisa mais lindaaa 😍😍😍😍
I approve of this song.
+Jesus what the fuck... i laughed so hard at this.
Wow this is really good, loved blookwork so glad to see JT continue in this type of music!
You guys are friggin AMAZING
Just saw these guys live last night on the phantom anthym tour! Portland!
The fact that this song wasn't named Erraversable disappoints me.
this song is awesome!!!! goodjob
Te amo jesse, desde qu iniciaste con ghost atlas y ahoraen erra eres el mejor sin mencionar que me encantan tus solos de guitarra :3
My favorite track on the album probably
Jesus this song is good
This is probably their best song.
My girlfriend said almost the same thing.. But saosin and misery signals... So whenever I play erra she says "he it's SAOSIGNALS!!" -love her-
The front man should be doing the clean vocals. If it was his cleans I'd buy the album right now. When he was in Texas in July it was one of the best albums of that year. The guitarists cleans are way to high and belongs in our last night.
amazing song
continuing to blow our minds... Well Done. Love it
