ERRA - Gungrave

ERRA's self-titled album is out now: unfd.lnk.to/ERRA
I’m trapped inside this room. Witnessing your degradation. A soul lost in limbo. This house is your incarceration. I’ve heard your voice at night haunt these halls. Feet on the stairs. The echoes of your tears. I’ve felt nothing since the day you left. It’s been like this for years and years. Modern mind, divisive voices redefine (your heart). Realign what’s broken. Every word, misguided by thoughts left confined (confined). You could leave it all behind. Crawled into a place in my head. The only space where I could feel safe and sound. All that you’ve lived for comes spiraling down. Catatonic. Emaciated. All this pain that you have created. Battered heart. Broken soul. With no other place to go. Modern mind, divisive voices redefine (your heart). Realign what’s broken. Every word, misguided by thoughts left confined (confined). You could leave it all behind. Modern mind, divisive voices redefine (your heart). You could leave it all behind. The small hours loud inside the modern mind, leeching on the lonely heart. Modernity seems to amplify the boundaries of your heart. You try going back when you mean to restart, and the foundation falls apart. The foundation falls apart, on and on and on. Spiraling downward. Spiral down. Spiral down. Reset the pattern doomed to repeat. A perpetual cycle, on and on and on. Catatonic. Emaciated. All this pain that you have created.

It's that Aussie water. They're making their American bands chug it.

[@WovenBrute]

Them and SHARPTONE are absolutely killing our metalcore scene. It’s flawless

[@Turiyaband]

Erra has really done something a lot of bands seem to fail to do. They are starting to look at their songs as a whole; not just separate instruments playing together. They are working on creating sonic themes with their music. They're thinking in 3D about concepts, and using all their amazing talent to fill the parts of it. If you look at this song alone, there are a few amazing things about it, especially when you look at the lyrics. Bear in mind, this song is about breaking a cycle. Personally I think it relates to a gang lifestyle and trying to get out, but regardless, let's just look at the "breaking the cycle" theme /abusive relationship etc Let's look at that amazing guitar section at 3:11 "Reset the pattern doomed to repeat." It sure does repeat, but it's slightly different the second time. This fits with someone trying to change that cycle of abuse and pain, but it stays mostly the same regardless of your efforts. It's doomed to repeat. Afterwards is the most amazing part. "A perpetual cycle On and on and on" but then it stops. Great! the cycle is broken! Just kidding! It pulls you right back into the brutality, much like any abusive relationship or lifestyle. This could be drugs gangs violence relationships you name it. Then the final lyrics "Catatonic, emaciated All this pain that you have created", repeated from before, talk about the pain you will cause from not breaking the cycle of abuse. You now continue it because you couldn't get out. Such a psychologically true, yet tragic idea. This is without mentioning the obvious machine gun-esque double kick parts throughout the song. Deliberate. I guarantee you. It's really beautiful. This band is playing chess while most bands today are playing checkers. Mark my words when I tell you that this will go down in history and lay the landscape for hundreds of bands to follow.

[@nisanoire]

i hope Jesse sees this, man! he loves hearing about fan interpretations of songs and wants to keep it open and alive for us, i loved your take on it!!
