Erra debut new song and video 'Nigh to Silence'

Progressive metalcore group Erra are issuing a deluxe version of their latest, self-title album on March 18 via UNFD.

The expanded edition features seven additional tracks, including "Nigh to Silence," the video for which can be viewed below.

Guitarist/clean vocalist Jesse Cash says this of "Nigh to Silence": "The song is set on an empty earth observed by the moon. I intended to express as much loneliness as I could. Then, I thought of 'walking in the shadow of my own ghost,' which felt like the loneliest visual I could muster. I wrote the first line about how the process of writing music feels and my deeply internal fear of being forgotten or irrelevant: 'Floating song, I caught in a dream and passed it on. Frail and fragile is the ghost that I will carry and time will swallow.'"

This song to normal people might seem bad, but if you listen closely, you can actually tell that the notes and vocals used in this song is actually very unique and intricate. As a professional musician, I am capable of seeing that. This song actually breaks the law of music theory, and that might sound bad to you, but it's said that it can only be done by a genius. The drums have a subtle ting to it, and the chords are even able to give people shivers of pure satisfaction. The way the wave of the synths moves is just simply incredible. According to history, Mozart once actually said that he had tried to make a song with these notes before, but he eventually gave up after trying countless times as it was too hard for his mind to comprehend. However, we can clearly see that Erra are simply a genius.

Marty from Zao here. This stuff is better than our band's music.

anonymous 1/22/2022 11:38:10 AM

Deftones exists solely because of this band and this band alone.

anonymous 1/22/2022 12:05:10 PM

Guy's voice is too high and annoying to rip off the Deftones. Loathe currently the better Djentones rip off.

This band represents the LGBTQ community proud! Good on them!

One of the best bands to ever do it. This song slays

How far on the autism spectrum does it take for an adult to say "these are the best dudes to do it". Son does your care taker allow you to use the internet?

anonymous 1/22/2022 2:40:00 PM

I haven't even listened to it and know it's better than Zao

Mona Lisa here. I really don't appreciate when you use my likeness in your band photos.

anonymous 1/22/2022 4:50:00 PM

Lol, I'd rather rip my weener off and shove it up my but than listen to this trash of a band.

silence is all anyone can hope for or think of when erra's music comes on

this band is so consistent. so talented. clearly in another league than 99% of bands. but i still prefer waking the cadaver.

anonymous 1/22/2022 7:42:02 PM

I made an Erra by listening to this.

anonymous 1/22/2022 10:09:18 PM

Erra Erra! - J-Roc

Sunny hate5six is a communist

anonymous 1/22/2022 11:21:19 PM

Danny Diablo here, international hardcore loser. I'll put my foot all the way up that Sunny Singhs ass out his mouth and into Ricky Singhs ass. Terrorist motherf*ckers. Ricky already felt the DMS raise when we robbed him & his little white boy suburban band. You had to break up, fools.

This sounds like when I hold down backspace on my iPhone with the volume on but more queer.

anonymous 1/23/2022 6:58:00 AM

whos the weird looking curly haired chick in the band pic?

anonymous 1/23/2022 7:14:30 AM

Dino here, this needs more boobs

anonymous 1/23/2022 11:53:39 AM

I have always hated this band. Old and fat scene chicks in their 30's are stoked
