Erra announce new self-titled album

ERRA have announced a new album!

The upcoming album, a self-titled effort, is the fifth full-length offering from the Birmingham, AL-based progressive metalcore band and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via UNFD. The news of the album comes on the back of November’s release of House of Glass, which also appears on the upcoming album.

The upcoming album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Grammy Award-nominated duo Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland. The decision to self-title the album suits the themes of self-reflection and confrontation woven throughout the record’s 12 songs. “It’s clearly an evolution of the same band, it sounds like a record we wrote, but it’s such a big step forward from the last one that it seemed like the perfect time to self-title a record,” vocalist/guitarist Jesse Cash explains. “We wanted to give people who have been following ERRA the sense that we’re starting a new chapter, with something fresh.”

Vocalist J.T. Cavey adds, “we’ve always tried to have a balance of classic song structures, intertwined with experimental adventures. This album especially is music written for musicians that also appeals to the masses. There are a lot more breakdowns on this record, but also bigger melodies. The most important thing was to write music we enjoy.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Divisionary.

Speaking about the new song, Cash says, “it’s a song about our relationship to technology. The song is pretty on the nose and intentionally a bit tongue-in-cheek. It creates a sort of campy parallel between our phones and religion. In the song, technology is God and we are all zealous fanatics of the service it provides, which is a distraction from our immediate realities, which is presence.”
