When you just listened a song from Spiritbox after listen this Erra video Finally these two band are Here😌

[@xTheIronSte]

And he sings during this...

[@fharl2129]

He sings during chorus on this one, like At 0:43, still a pretty hard riff to pull off while singing.

[@05acoyn]

It boggles the mind bruh

[@ngango9158]

@@fharl2129 pretty sure its Sean that does the chorus riff. Not taking away anything from Jesse, he indeed can sing while doing leads, but in most songs its always Sean (or Alan before) who does the riffs in choruses

Absolute monster

[@myam754]

@@ngango9158 Jesse was the one singing the chorus part in the music video.

[@r32jard78]

Yeah the riffs are incredible to listen to and watch but what gets me is that he wrote this. Like his brain was able to spit this out. Incredible...

[@MrCholoPants3415]

Guitar Pro/Tab software helps. You start out with a basic idea, throw it into tab software, it's written down so you don't forget it, then you're able to manipulate notes and add things you wouldn't otherwise have been able to improvise. I am 100% positive he uses tab software, as does virtually every prog-metalcore band.

They really stabilised his hand during that tremolo picking. Holy hell editors, you have outdone yourselves...

[@inhertombbythesoundingsea]

Damn, that part was sick as fuck!

[@DennisPlaysBass]

Yeah it was sick, but I guess that they stabilized it with automatic tracking motion of his hand in After Effects or something like that. Not crazy difficult, but nevertheless very impressive

[@pauldenapoli3494]

Musical god jesse is

The dog zoom was 10/10

[@Fr33Candy]

Yea it caught me off guard too lmao

[@stanleyalbuquerque9478]

It's heavy, modern and by far not pop-ish. This song is the evolution of the Erra without losing the characteristics of the band's sound. I love when bands do it.

[@aprioris.knowledge2765]

Eh

[@cameronjm79]

That chorus is pretty pop-ish but there is nothing wrong with that! A little catchy mixed in with progressive stuff is what makes it so good.

The fact that Jesse sings during the chorus of their song blows my mind. He makes it look so easy, I wish Erra would get the recognition they deserve!

[@SMILEY.45]

Jesse Cash is my favorite guitarist. I’ve looked up to many over the years but the way he composes is mesmerizing

[@Janky-fn1hb]

Forgot I had the YT speed on 1.25x and was like YOOO THIS MAN IS INSANE lol

[@andreatruglia559]

Man, he’s insane even with speed on 0.5

[@clintbrooks7753]

When you speed it up, in the beginning it sounds like he's riffing some deathcore haha.

[@S1LVERF16]

I practice the song at 1.25x speed before actually playing it at normal speed that way I hit everything I want to 😂

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Anyone else surprised that it didn’t take 3 hands to play that solo?

[@InfinityReptar]

That's why we have 10 fingers :)

[@JTCGuitar]

Late to this. But this is wonderful.

[@chadchad1877]

This dude is one of the most influencial & inspirational guitarist of all time..

[@48956l]

He’s definitely not one of the most influential guitarists of all time. You have to be super famous or at least commonly referenced by other guitarists for that to be true.

[@MrCholoPants3415]

@@48956l Yes he is in metalcore. It's not even really debatable. He's not as influential as like, JB Brubaker from ABR for the metalcore scene, or the Meshuggah guitarists, but pretty close.

[@kenwayaiden4535]

@@MrCholoPants3415 Jesse is underrated, he is so damn great

[@luch33to]

I'm addicted to this track, nasty playthrough

[@ChaseRightOn]

Bands like this need to release an instrumental version of the record when releasing a new album... I dont think ppl appreciate just how good some bands are until they can just focus on the instrumental part. I know Protest The Hero put out an instrumental version of one of their records in the past...

[@replicated]

Yeah. This actually sounds way better than the whole mix. Thr intensity is so drowned out in the full song. I feel everything is too compressed in the full mix and the vox (heavy and clean) drown out the outstanding guitar playing here.

[@granthimel4296]

Thornhill did that as well

[@physx1]

I think releasing instrumentals should be industry standard, i would definitely buy more albums if indtrumentals were included

[@brandonralphs9280]

More and more bands in the metal scene are actually doing this. I’ve seen it more and more frequently

[@Pookabee]

August burns red has done this a couple times as well

[@danielagu6185]

I remember they made a shirt of Mona Lisa with Jesse's face in it and it just got stuck in my head. Now watching this playthrough and realizing that Jesse is the literal embodiment of Mona Lisa.

[@microsoftpain]

I still wish I could buy that shirt. They had a very limited run and I didn't manage to get one.

[@Orion-jr6fi]

he makes it look so easy... bruh it literally took me a month and a half to learn to learn the first minute of eye of god.

[@Ssjcloud3]

Dog: sigh, another magical mind bending song. can't he just play like a nickelback song? Damn man. This further proves Jesse's and erras importance, skill and magic more. Classic echoing soul chilling wonder, melodic mystical ancient discovery and emotional brutal dreamy love. Reminds me of the outsider by veil of maya too. nice ghost atlas shirt, wonder whose the singer. Love you like snow loves blood. Keep shredding with soul my soul brother.

Even generic can become unique and vice versa. It isn't what is like others or basic but their reflection of it and jesse makes riffs and compositions I've never heard of. How they capture the setting, atsmosphere and soul. No one sounds like erra and if they did, they still couldn't replicate them.
