[@NikNocturnal]

*Who else is stoked for new ERRA?*

[@M3T4L80Y]

I love their older albums, Augment and Impulse. Garrison Lee's vocals were great

[@OLIVARES7]

React to bad omens FDBGFM

[@AmityStar.]

Like how you mentioned annisokay lol and loved that you noticed his vocals were low I was shocked on spotify

[@mtndude96]

Can't wait. I'm also going to see them on the tour with Northlane. That's gonna be a sick show!

[@afscrew123]

PLEASE YES

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Never heard Erra before this song, it totally made me a fan!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@bruce4751]

Go check out their album Impulse. It’s my fav by them!

[@gauravnarwani651]

Augment and neon too , those are my fav

[@laszlopapp5323]

Drift is a great one as well

[@danielseale9636]

They're all fucking good, just listen to them all

[@aboywithhorns]

Erra is dope AF. They have had a bunch of scream vocalists over time. Garrison Lee was there best but J.T. is throwing down on this one. Their drummer has always been mind blowing.

[@esunagi]

Let's not forget Jesse Cash really bringing it these past few years even after hes been the real mvp of the band this whole time. Although Impulse is my favourite album with Garrison and his absolutely insane vocals with the synergy with Jesse and Alan was just mesmerizing. But no one can complain about this absolute masterpiece. Erra really bringing it!

[@Uselessmineral]

Screaming singer used to sing for Texas in July, he has always been a beast!!

[@dennisbrown2106]

Yea if they’d let him just scream it’d be so much better when the clean singer comes in it’s like a 12 year old boy whose balls havnt dropped yet and it just kills the intensity for me it’s like brutal brutal brutal then Justin Bieber comes in then brutal brutal brutal again. I tried guys but I’ll stick with TIJ

[@GabrielXDrums]

Dennis Brown yea not at all but then again that’s your opinion. That’s why TIJ was probably a failure but then again I saw them about 5 times when they were around.

[@GabrielXDrums]

ibrahim povataj fortunately I got to see them when they were around, they were always great.

[@erikshaw7]

@@dennisbrown2106 umm did you never listen to Saosin? Circa Survive? It's not an unprecedented singing style

[@somersfamily]

@@dennisbrown2106 fuck off

[@tylerwhite2808]

you know a breakdown is good when Nik just stares into oblivion, too entranced by the intensity to even think of head banging

[@NikNocturnal]

Exactly

[@drummerAVA]

When they start riffing in that particular style at 3:20, that’s when ERRA really gets me... love it.

[@SICRoosterKido]

The intro should be just the 0:08 sound looped xD haha

[@NikNocturnal]

Oh noes

[@chipsmcbiskitz9494]

I frickin love that XD

[@JohnSmith-nl7tj]

My favorite band and this song just is insane. JT's vocals have gotten so much better.

[@ValkyrieLightwing]

I love how its new and different, but it still sounds very unmistakably Erra. Really good stuff, can't wait for more

[@himawarii_gg]

Frog*

[@ripcord991]

Lmao!

[@dilipvivekrocks]

This is the era of the ERRA. Without a doubt the best djent band and they are melodious and fucking heavy! Dope af

[@astaschak]

I found Erra a little while ago while jamming to my Within The Ruins/Periphery pandora station. Was a fan immediately.

[@wherethewavesareborn4997]

To me is their best song in years! The perfect mix between pre and post-Drift era. I'm glad there's a bit from the old stuff, I think Augment is one of the best metalcore albums ever.

[@NikNocturnal]

^^^

[@dhowie93]

WhereTheWavesAreBorn for sure. I didn’t vibe that well with Neon. Just felt something was missing. Drift was good though, JT came in and made a statement with that album. But this single makes me excited again for another album.

[@Anonymous__-uo6zq]

agreed. as much as I love Erra, Neon didn't do it as much for me. It had a few moments when it was pretty dope. But overall, I felt it was the weakest of their albums. Personally, I like this track better than any on Neon. I am fucking stoked to hear the next album.

[@AutomaticDuck300]

Augment is amazing. Agreed.

[@keonr12]

The clean vocalist is the lead singer for a band called Ghost Atlas, it's so good. Definitely recommend checking them out!

[@13NZR13]

Keon Ghost Atlas is Jesse’s solo project

[@toasttoasted3492]

Hell yea..AMAZING BAND!!!

[@elikirkwood4580]

I just recently got into Erra and i am super into them. I love their guitar playing and both the screaming and clean vocals are awesome

[@slushpuppydevil]

Yesss listened to this last night and loved it, excited to see what you make of it!

[@stormybadtype1diabetic244]

Erra can never disappoint. Ever. Edit... That breakdown literally gave me chills

[@Oithissucks]

Erra just gets better. Been with 'em since Andromeda and Jesse continues to expand the sound. They've carved something super unique and it's just such an immersive soundscape. JT was a perfect replacement for Garrison. Had the same reaction at the breakdown.

[@NikNocturnal]

The breakdown was insane

[@Oithissucks]

@@NikNocturnal It really was lol blew me away. The transition into and out was brilliant too.

[@leku200]

Got to see ERRA live during tour with ABR last year, they were great energy and extremely talented live. Vocals, guitarwork, and sound mix were on point. Even more impressive is their lead guitarist also does the clean vocals, blown away by how the dude juggles vocals with some of those insane tapping parts.

[@davidacosta3874]

leku200 same here! They killed it with ABR.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Erra has to be one of the melodic bands I’ve heard

[@logansanoh]

"Is that it.." that's the most perfect song in history. Appreciate you man

[@oxygenplug]

so glad to see these guys getting more love ❤️ one of the most underrated bands out there imo

[@animecasio8665]

It's like Architects mixed with Crystal Lake

[@patrickdamacet6085]

nah his voice reminds me of the vocalist of the Ghost Inside

[@chrisy4011]

Screamer is ex Texas In July vocalist.

[@teehundeart]

This sounds a lot like their old stuff though. Back to the roots

[@naysaya2935]

Accurate AF. I ain't complaining...

[@RAMIV4]

Exactly

[@BobSaggot666]

I've been following Erra since their first LP and I can say this: They've never not been excellent! Garrison Lee was a heckuva vocalist

[@blackbird7156]

Yes he needs to be back.

[@bradhuff5131]

@@blackbird7156 nah. They're really hitting their stride with jt and hes just fucking amazing. Garrison was good but jt is killing it

[@Jay_Money23]

Garrison was awesome and I wouldn’t want anyone else on augment and impulse, but I think JT is the superior vocalist at this point. He sounds spot on live.

[@_ra1n]

I stan your profile picture. What an album.

[@bep7827]

You’re great man, you’re one of my bigger inspirations to be better at guitar, and probably my number one reason to get a drop tuner haha, keep doing what you’re doing because it’s awesome

[@iamdaveandhaveaniceday2651]

I love Erra, they’re one of my favorite new bands

[@iamdaveandhaveaniceday2651]

Kawaii Imouto kinda, I mean their career started in impulse let’s be honest.

[@iamdaveandhaveaniceday2651]

Kawaii Imouto yeah but still, you gotta admit their sound is about as modern as it gets.

[@iamdaveandhaveaniceday2651]

Kawaii Imouto how are you supposed to know what I meant? Best that was exactly what I meant. The first song by them I ever listened to was pattern interrupt from impulse, wich came out in 2011. I didn’t listen much to them afterwards but now I’m realizing my mistake. I am an actual fan of them now. So why don’t you think about it for a second before you start pointing fingers?

[@iamdaveandhaveaniceday2651]

Kawaii Imouto exactly. And that’s what I meant when I wrote it in the first place.

[@iamdaveandhaveaniceday2651]

Because it always was, and that was what I was trying to say.

[@bagzy868]

Erra is my favorite band...augment was amazing. Dementia is the most amazing song I've ever heard Check it out you won't be sorry

[@danielseale9636]

That solo is absolutely insane. One of my favorites ever

[@stormybadtype1diabetic244]

The solo in the song sets it aside to me. However overall song? I'm glued to The Hypnotist

[@doobofbattle9472]

I saw Dementia live and cried the whole time. The most goosebumps I've ever had seeing a live performance.

[@uolegullook3847]

I have been a fan of ERRA since I heard Augment, and while it took awhile for Drift and Neon to grow on me, one complaint I had was that with JT they lacked power that Garrison (Their old voacalist) had. The vocals just seemed safe and this song has completely proven that JT has it in him to explore range and bring back that punch that ERRA has been missing.

[@heroic6863]

Haha! Great video, Nik. Love your reactions. Amazing track as well. I haven't listened to Erra that much but I might just have to get into them more after listening to this track :)

[@snarkybu42]

I am always looking for music, that being said thank you for the suggestion! DEFINITELY will be checking out their other stuff!

[@Denden-mx9gl]

This is the my first time hearing ERRA, thanks for sharing it with us dude!

And another good video Nik, thank you!

[@jav6665]

Great vid yet again Nik. Love your content! Let me start by saying, when I first say the banger TV shredders of metal season one I really enjoyed it, so to see season two pop up of course I’m watching that shit. Damn bro, what a pleasant surprise to see you in the lineup. Haven’t seen you face off yet but I’m sure you kill it. Must have been pretty cool to play in front of a couple of legends! Keep on rocking 🤘🏻

[@Jaepo33]

This was a great song! Really enjoyed it!

Man, you whould do more of this reaction videos. Its actually interesting to hear what a professional have to say about things.

[@backstabbz26]

For sure one of my fave bands..... great music to listen to while being active...

[@wknalbc]

Didnt expect that Pre-Chorus breakdown... like oh mannnn mmmmmmmm! Thanks for the sweet react Nik!

[@na1Leatsfood]

Saw them live before As I Lay Dying this year and instantly fell in love with them.

[@ichristinrock]

Erra is such a musicians band 😍🤘🏼

[@MetalHeadSkully]

Also like Nine Lashes

[@xeyon]

as a fan of them since 2010 i am super excited about this new direction back to heavier and melodic stuff. LOVE that solo and the deep screams.

[@ryancole5735]

Haha his lows caught me off guard too bro!! Sick track

[@jaycue7641]

Era are just such amazing composers. The track is just so full of amazing melodies and atmospheres, and the heavy parts are just BRUTAL!!!!

[@schecterseven3894]

Good luck on shredders of metal , I will be rooting for you.

[@hazyVADOR]

Oh shit! The cleans came out of nowhere but they were so perfect! They didn't drop the vibe of aggression and existed with such an original melody. I'm in love with this song. It's perfect. Perfect. I hope you're doing well, N.N.!

[@victorrcb]

This is a must see band, i love it so much!!! Big fan here

[@valezz8465]

omg this is insane!!! I didn't know this group but now i'm gonna check them out!!!

Alex gets so slept on as a drummer. Almost never gets the credit he deserves. Glad you gave him some props.

[@SHADOW-ke6xz]

I found erra about 6 years ago and haven't turned back I can't get enough and I really feel like the keep their fans interested and pumped for new stuff. They are one of few bands that consistently get better every new record while somehow never topping their older stuff lol.

[@davidjohnston714]

[@TonyThor7]

Erra- Seven Thank me now.

[@ChrisS-mk1yr]

The way that the tapping riff came in at the beginning reminded me SO MUCH of "Make Total Destroy" by Periphery. Nice song, will have to check out more stuff by this band. 👍

[@Jefftarnish]

That's what I was thinking lmao!!!!

[@FuxWithFire]

Can't wait to see you on Shredders Of Metal

[@Sacred_Silence]

Saw these guys at Summer Slaughter 2018 in Houston and I fell in love. Been listening ever since!!

[@anonymousnate678]

Saw them play this one live in Lawrence on Sunday and it's one of their best live songs. Everyone that goes to catch them on the Neon Alien tour is in for a treat when these guys take the stage.

[@milky2533]

Such a good track. I wish it was put on their latest album from UNFD and not just a stand alone single

[@maginpanic]

Jesse said on IG that they found the balance between their earlier technical stuff and the more ambient stuff like Drift on this album. I'm so stoked. This song is AMAZING.

[@devilincarnage1770]

I'm seeing them Friday man I hope they do this live!!!

[@Xenthetic]

I saw them in Columbus with WCAR. First time I had ever heard ERRA, and it was fuckin sick.

[@joncollins2808]

Erra is from my hometown. My band opened for them about 8 years ago. We opened the show they announced the record deal. Great dudes.

Hmm. Interesting to see you do a reaction video. I think it would be rad to see reactions to metal that might be outside of your norm. Not sure what exactly that would be, but maybe the new Vitriol single. I haven’t seen anything like that on this channel yet, or maybe I missed it. 🤙🏻
