the vocalist looks like something you have to fight in a video game, and you have make a line of explosive mines that he runs over while he chases you, and it only takes off like a quarter of his health.
I revisit this album quite a lot. First time i heard it i felt like it was already ingrained in my DNA. Not that i heard something similar or anything, just that ERRA was taking something from the universe long since primordial.
Its nuts how HUGE the difference in production quality is from Erra just from the switch to Sumerian. Jesse's vocals have matured so well into this EP and I love it. Ian is a great replacement too, still not the same without Garrison but I expect great things from Erra with their next full length, and at least Garrison will have some awesome merch to create for the band haha. The world needs more great bands like Erra, from the instrumentals to the fantastic lyricism this band sets the bar for what GOOD metalcore is. (I use the term "Metalcore" loosely, so genre nazi's please dont lose your shit in the comments)
As I reflect on this EP I hear this as a bridge between Augment and Drift, probably because it quite literally was. You can start to hear the sound and style of drift slowly forming in this EP. the verses sound like drift then the pre chorus sounds like augment then the chorus sounds like drift
to this day in 2022, this song and dreamcatcher are two of my favorite erra songs. they have evolved so much since this EP and put out some amazing albums. but even as they have evolved and become one of my favorite bands to this day, these songs will always be among my favorites. they just take me back to one of my favorite points in my life. i’m so happy i got to watch this band start from their early roots and become what they are today
***** nah. Augment sounds like a revisitation of Impulse. Ultraviolet sounds like Render the Void, Hybrid Earth sounds like Obscure words, Crimson sounds like Heart, Rebirth sounds like White Noise, etc. Augment is great, but Impulse is better to me.
Holy SHIT! The guitarist caught me off guard when he started to sing! WOW! You guys have an awesome sound! Many similar bands, but you guys' passion is unbreakable! GO GO GO!!! YEAH! Where have you guys been?!?
"I am the shadow that tames the moon, and paints the Earth." Jesse's lyrics consistently impress me. Great song too! Still not entirely sold on Ian, but to his credit he is pretty solid. Can't wait for more!
These guys played this song live last week in Calgary and it's by far the best material theyve written so far. I even got to hang out with them briefly. Stoked for the new stuff as ive never been into their other stuff that much
UnityDeicide Erra > veil of maya Erra > Born of Osiris (is that even a competition? There new shit sucks) the faceless meh different genre not really comparable
It’s been so amazing being introduced to ERRA in their current iteration, being able to go back and discover this stuff after hearing their self titled album
"when you feel the heat of the crushing moment, stand by me and never feel alone" < i get chills at that part every time, so much passion and power behind those words
Brendon stacey I didn't ask for you here. Why are you everywhere. God. But seriously. It's got djent elements. Ask anyone. It's progressive and they tune their guitars low and hit the 0's and 1's alot.
Joshua Wilson but djent and progressive metal are different, djent is basically low Palm muted notes but for some reason people these days think "djent" means wacky rhythms
matthuffles1 Go read this dumb fucks comments on any volumes video. Every video he has to piss off the fans saying how great ERRA is or how insert band name here is nowhere near ERRA's level. That's where the biased came from.
I would love to hear some instrumentals of every Erra song. Like old EP's and Impulse would be something. I love Erra, they birthed my inspiration for music into something I couldn't have fathomed before. I feel at home with your new EP, I wish the best of luck because I know this is still ERRA even after the past.
I just saw these guys play at the House of Blues in New Orleans only hours ago and I've got to say this band is outstanding. Their singing was absolutely spot on live. The overall performance put on by this band definitely left me with a night to remember. I am looking forward to hear what they come out with next!!!
found these guys in the 'Future of Metalcore' article, promptly bought all of there music, saw them live and it ripped my face off, can't wait for this new record
Talked to the whole band (minus Ian, the screamer) for about an hour after their show, and they said they only put out the EP to show off Ian, and that that was his first time ever doing lead vocals. They said he's already improved dramatically just from touring, and by the time they record their new album he will sound much more improved. Not that he sounds bad now, i think he sounds amazing.
I revisit this album quite a lot. First time i heard it i felt like it was already ingrained in my DNA. Not that i heard something similar or anything, just that ERRA was taking something from the universe long since primordial. Jesse Cash just couldnt miss around this time. Love the vocalist too
That turn at 3:33 is badass haha. Also never noticed how cool the riff is in this song that you see being played at 3:29. The vocals are great, kind of remind me of In Hearts Wake a little bit. I'm looking forward to hearing the improvements on your next release :)
Saw you guys for the first time in Toronto a couple weeks ago with August Burns Red, I have been a fan for a year now, but I can honestly say you guys put on the best show I have ever seen hands down. The best band on the bill for sure. Much Love from a Canadian fan
This song was my introduction to Erra and even after all these years, it still fucking rips. It's something special, the right people at the right time.
my most favourite video after Hybrid earth, thanks Ian for being such a wolf, Jesse you had the. best chorus of all time then before you sang Remnant, Alex you are one of a kind bro
I only managed to see the end of their set in Toronto, but i bought a shirt, cd and poster and asked the guys to sign it. They're areally awesome guys, i took a picture with them too.

Holy fuck. These guys are amazing. How have I been in this genre for LITERALLY a decade and am just hearing this shit?! What the good lord fuck shit. Thank god for that dudes clean vocals. LOL
***** when was the last time you saw erra live? Last year I saw them twice and I also thought Jesse was sloppy. But I just saw them for the third time last week and he was anything but sloppy! He's improved so much 👌
![ERRA - Snowblood [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
the vocalist looks like something you have to fight in a video game, and you have make a line of explosive mines that he runs over while he chases you, and it only takes off like a quarter of his health.
Lol
Joe Pontiac aka Michael chiklis? lol
Joe Pontiac Well stated haha!
+Joe Pontiac He looks like wilson fisk/the kingpin too.
+Joe Pontiac this is true. i saw them live and he is fucking HUGE.
Man, this drummer does not get the recognition he deserves; he's easily one of the best drummers in the genre.
💯
He knows he’s good just stays humble
I caught a drumstick of his! ❤🤘
completely underrated Song and EP
Ikr.
Absolutely
Yes Sumerian, these are the bands you're supposed to sign.
Erra is signed by Sumerian now :)
Agreed not asking alexandria and down and dirty garbage
Alexander Arias i like this bands and those you named :P
Agreed x1000
Alexander Arias To be fair, Asking Alexandria was decent when Sumerian picked them up. lol
1:52 god, that chorus gives me chills all over. it's one of erra's best choruses by far
I revisit this album quite a lot. First time i heard it i felt like it was already ingrained in my DNA. Not that i heard something similar or anything, just that ERRA was taking something from the universe long since primordial.
2020 and I still listen to it twice a day
2022 we’ve been here before for sure
2022
2022
2023
ERRA's drop G days. Hits like a freight train.
It’s drop g# just to let u know
Ian's a pretty great screamer for an ice giant.
Yes
and there goes another perfect keyboard.
My older brother introduced me erra With this song Many years ago, I couldn't be more grateful
Its nuts how HUGE the difference in production quality is from Erra just from the switch to Sumerian. Jesse's vocals have matured so well into this EP and I love it. Ian is a great replacement too, still not the same without Garrison but I expect great things from Erra with their next full length, and at least Garrison will have some awesome merch to create for the band haha.
The world needs more great bands like Erra, from the instrumentals to the fantastic lyricism this band sets the bar for what GOOD metalcore is. (I use the term "Metalcore" loosely, so genre nazi's please dont lose your shit in the comments)
Chris Hale i approve
He sang in a total different pitch for the Impulse album that's mostly the difference you hear.
One of my tops bands.
I still listen to this song everyday.
same
What about now?
Thate the first step
As I reflect on this EP I hear this as a bridge between Augment and Drift, probably because it quite literally was. You can start to hear the sound and style of drift slowly forming in this EP. the verses sound like drift then the pre chorus sounds like augment then the chorus sounds like drift
hell yeah agreed, good analysis
They also had Ian Eubanks who's vocals sounded similar to Garrison's vocals.
Ian also wrote most lyrics for Drift
Officially a fan now.
I miss this era of Erra
1st listen: It's aight
2nd listen: This is actually really cool
3rd listen: I aM tHe SiLeNcE iN pIeRcInG sOuNd
I wasn't aware of these older Erra videos. Glad I found them though.
to this day in 2022, this song and dreamcatcher are two of my favorite erra songs. they have evolved so much since this EP and put out some amazing albums. but even as they have evolved and become one of my favorite bands to this day, these songs will always be among my favorites. they just take me back to one of my favorite points in my life. i’m so happy i got to watch this band start from their early roots and become what they are today
you just have to respect this band man, they've basically lost three members and they still sound exactly the same. :)
I am the silence in piercing sound! Keep me close to you now!
Yessss we are backkk!!!
Erra have really stepped up their game since Impulse. So happy to see them make it this big now.
Nah, imo Impulse sounds just as good as this
Steve Aboagye impulse is better in my opinion
Luke Michael Holt I have to agree I think that impulse is their best album impulse is what really got them going
Luke Michael Holt
nah m8 Augment all the waaaaaaay
***** nah. Augment sounds like a revisitation of Impulse. Ultraviolet sounds like Render the Void, Hybrid Earth sounds like Obscure words, Crimson sounds like Heart, Rebirth sounds like White Noise, etc. Augment is great, but Impulse is better to me.
Holy SHIT! The guitarist caught me off guard when he started to sing! WOW! You guys have an awesome sound! Many similar bands, but you guys' passion is unbreakable! GO GO GO!!! YEAH! Where have you guys been?!?
"I am the shadow that tames the moon, and paints the Earth." Jesse's lyrics consistently impress me. Great song too! Still not entirely sold on Ian, but to his credit he is pretty solid. Can't wait for more!
gotta love a band with no bassist. thats real metal!
You don't need a bass when you have djent
These guys played this song live last week in Calgary and it's by far the best material theyve written so far. I even got to hang out with them briefly. Stoked for the new stuff as ive never been into their other stuff that much
The smartest decision Sumerian has ever made with this signing.
UnityDeicide Erra > veil of maya Erra > Born of Osiris (is that even a competition? There new shit sucks) the faceless meh different genre not really comparable
@@nomeru_0 wholeheartedly agree with Erra topping all those bands!
It’s been so amazing being introduced to ERRA in their current iteration, being able to go back and discover this stuff after hearing their self titled album
This song makes me wish Jesse did backup screams more it sounds so good
Is that Wilson Fisk?
OMG for real! 😂😂😂
lmfao
Maybe After He gets out of prison.
"when you feel the heat of the crushing moment, stand by me and never feel alone" < i get chills at that part every time, so much passion and power behind those words
2020 I still listen this old songs. lml
I like the part where the guitar is like "dj0nt dj0nt dj0nt"
I don't think you know what djent is....
Brendon stacey I didn't ask for you here. Why are you everywhere. God.
But seriously. It's got djent elements. Ask anyone. It's progressive and they tune their guitars low and hit the 0's and 1's alot.
Joshua Wilson it does have djent tone ;)
Brendon stacey he's talking about 0:21
Joshua Wilson but djent and progressive metal are different, djent is basically low Palm muted notes but for some reason people these days think "djent" means wacky rhythms
I'm so happy this band exists.
I hope you can come back to this comment
Gotta love 'em! I still think Pattern Interrupt was their best music video so far though
Biased
Selfish Eyes Thats why he said I THINK.
matthuffles1
Go read this dumb fucks comments on any volumes video. Every video he has to piss off the fans saying how great ERRA is or how insert band name here is nowhere near ERRA's level. That's where the biased came from.
Agreed hybrid earth is a very close second tho.
Selfish Eyes you sound angry fam
Loving the cleans and the melodic screams. Good job Erra.
Just discovered these guys a few weeks ago. I gotta say this is one my favorite tracks I'm glad there is a video for it!
ERRA- СУПЕР!!! Слов просто больше нет!!!
А мне их новое музло больше нравится
Best chorus I've ever heard, sick tapping behind it, just amazing
Erra has become the standard in their genre. This song is so good and it’s arguably not even their best work.
Garrison > Ian
Jk I really like Ian, but I will always miss Garrison... Erra is life. Erra is love
I have to agree with you
I would love to hear some instrumentals of every Erra song. Like old EP's and Impulse would be something. I love Erra, they birthed my inspiration for music into something I couldn't have fathomed before. I feel at home with your new EP, I wish the best of luck because I know this is still ERRA even after the past.
One of my fav gym songs
I just saw these guys play at the House of Blues in New Orleans only hours ago and I've got to say this band is outstanding. Their singing was absolutely spot on live. The overall performance put on by this band definitely left me with a night to remember. I am looking forward to hear what they come out with next!!!
Saw these guys last week, they all had food poisoning during the show but damn did they put on a good performance. Awesome stuff here.
It's difficult to restrain your foot from tapping to this delight.
I didn't know Brock Lesnar did vocals
+PureDeathcoreTV i think he looks more like kurt angle :v
+Indranil Chanda I think he looks like a much more buff version of Voldemort if he had a nose
+PureDeathcoreTV He doesn't anymore haha.
Hahahaha
+PureDeathcoreTV lol
found these guys in the 'Future of Metalcore' article, promptly bought all of there music, saw them live and it ripped my face off, can't wait for this new record
I know. I hope it grew back.😶🖤
Still not entirely sold on the new vocalist, but I like him more now than when I first heard the EP. And Jesse Is goddamn amazing on this one.
Talked to the whole band (minus Ian, the screamer) for about an hour after their show, and they said they only put out the EP to show off Ian, and that that was his first time ever doing lead vocals. They said he's already improved dramatically just from touring, and by the time they record their new album he will sound much more improved. Not that he sounds bad now, i think he sounds amazing.
Zane Price He's so good live
Joshua Wilson Maybe that means he'll actually have a vocal range by the time they release an album
I revisit this album quite a lot. First time i heard it i felt like it was already ingrained in my DNA. Not that i heard something similar or anything, just that ERRA was taking something from the universe long since primordial. Jesse Cash just couldnt miss around this time. Love the vocalist too
Even after listening to their new single, I still think this is their best song. Hands down.
i LOVE ian. he is one of my favorite vocalists
I love the cleans so much omfg
Amazing composers. Everything they write is gold.
hes the best clean vocalist in the genre, just saying >>>>
lyrics giving me goosebumps even after 4 years
Please continue keeping that melodic-ness ! Clean vocals and that lead in the chorus made it
Wow, this are very smart lyrics. Indeed centuries of pain, life is a war
That turn at 3:33 is badass haha. Also never noticed how cool the riff is in this song that you see being played at 3:29. The vocals are great, kind of remind me of In Hearts Wake a little bit. I'm looking forward to hearing the improvements on your next release :)
This is the Erra is fell in love with. ❤
dude is just lurkin in his natural habitat!
I'll always be a fan of erra, no matter what..
One of my favorites by these guys!! Love all the new stuff but this song just hits me to my core!
the lyric make me goosebump
Ian was the best screamer they've had yet. I love his and Jessie's contrast.
Fucking love this band. I want to see them live and get their autographs. The fact they basically make their instruments sing.
u dont know what music is u walrus
Oliver Bunnell wat
I saw these dudes live on the Frozen Flame Tour. They were amazing, along with with rest of the bands that played. I can't wait to see them again.
Saw you guys for the first time in Toronto a couple weeks ago with August Burns Red, I have been a fan for a year now, but I can honestly say you guys put on the best show I have ever seen hands down. The best band on the bill for sure. Much Love from a Canadian fan
i was afraid when garrison left because his fast screams was really enjoyable but this new vocalist is really good too
This song was my introduction to Erra and even after all these years, it still fucking rips. It's something special, the right people at the right time.
I was in 6th grade when this came out,I thought it was the hardest shit ever 🤘🖤
I love this band
This whole thing is KILLER and you guys are INSANE live too! Keep it up!
IS JESSE FUCKING SCREAMING???????????????????? Dude, these guys always manage to blow my mind somehow
my most favourite video after Hybrid earth, thanks Ian for being such a wolf, Jesse you had the. best chorus of all time then before you sang Remnant, Alex you are one of a kind bro
The definition of perfection ladies and gentlemen.
"I am the night" - is this a song about Batman? I can't stop picturing Batman singing the dirty vocals.
Did anyone else notice Trey from Invent, Animate in this? 1:41
+Andrew Cox Holy fuck, you serious, is that really him???
+MAXIMUM646 yeah man!
+Andrew Cox He's been filling in on bass for them live for a while now.
lmao knowing Trey’s goofy ass he just looks lost in this video 🤣
I only managed to see the end of their set in Toronto, but i bought a shirt, cd and poster and asked the guys to sign it.
They're areally awesome guys, i took a picture with them too.
Love me some Erra. They never disappoint
I LOVE the beginning of this.
Best band on Sumerian Records.
You guys are truly amazing!!! Erra and in hearts wake are my top metalcore bands since 2006 I've been jamming metalcore
This band is fucking amazing. .great cutting a new path ..Every time I hear this im fucking transfixed by how great this is
+Michael Wolf soo agreed!!!
It's a shame that Ian had to leave. Gonna miss the guy. Dude contributed a great amount to ERRA.
Amazing...Kentucky ...Waving...
Forgot how amazing this album is.
Talked to the whole band (minus Ian, the screamer) for about an hour after their show, and they said they only put out the EP to show off Ian, and that that was his first time ever doing lead vocals. They said he's already improved dramatically just from touring, and by the time they record their new album he will sound much more improved. Not that he sounds bad now, i think he sounds amazing.
I heard he plays rugby with grizzly bears what a leader
This is what John Cena falls asleep to.
because he's out of music taste
Rollins no
Omni Codex of course
Rollins nay
Nice Oh, Sleeper! profile pic!
FIRE❕☑️🖤
So glad to see Erra with Sumerian now, super legit band.
Looking forward for the next full album.
Now that's what the f@@k I'm talkin' 'bout! Great vocal "Melodies" and "Hooks" !! Right on Sumerian!! I'm officially a fan.
That guitar shred during the chorus... Holy shit. Love it so much. Keep it up guys!
obsessed
I never was a fan of thw "where are yOoUuu!? andd im SO soOOrry"" nasaly toned singing in metal but this guy actually pulls it off rlly well :} ❤
Holy fuck. These guys are amazing. How have I been in this genre for LITERALLY a decade and am just hearing this shit?! What the good lord fuck shit.
Thank god for that dudes clean vocals. LOL
Make sure you check their older stuff out too! All the way back to Andromeda, their stuff has been amazing.
+Steve Aboagye no doubt, I got all of it
+TheBanderson22 that's exactly what i thought when i first came across Erra. I listened to pattern interrupt and hybrid earth. i was blown away
Check out Jessie Cash's other band Ghost Atlas
***** when was the last time you saw erra live? Last year I saw them twice and I also thought Jesse was sloppy. But I just saw them for the third time last week and he was anything but sloppy! He's improved so much 👌
love what these guys do, this product has helped me in a way only good music can, thankyou
and i mean that
I've always thought their screamer looked kinda like azog the defiler 😂
Brock lesner to me :P
bane for me
Yes! That's what I was thinking! Hahahah!
Except that's Ian their new screamer... not Garrison the old screamer.
I'd say he's more blastoise/squirtle
alpha seed is their best song. but then again that whole album is a masterpiece
