ERRA has been killing the metalcore genre for a while. They just released their latest full length album last year with Cure. Now, they are already back releasing new music. They just released their first single since their album, “Gore of Being”. You can watch the music video for the song here.
When discussing the meaning behind the song, ERRA shared, “Gore of Being' started as an idea that Clint brought into the studio and marks his first songwriting contribution to the band. Lyrically, 'Gore of Being' turned out to be a musing on mortality. Despite not writing the lyrics, Clint later had a conversation with Jesse connecting the serendipity between the lyrics and the working title Clint had for the instrumental, which related to his dad's sudden and tragic passing. The song's context took a new shape from there, becoming a catharsis and being that much more special to the band."
In my opinion, this single blows Cure out of the water. While I enjoyed the album, this song just hits all the right notes even more. This is definitely a step in the right direction for the band and I am excited to see where they go next.
This is not the only single that ERRA plans to release this summer. On July 18th, they will release their second single, “Echo Sonata”. Based on the trajectory of the band from this single, ERRA fans should be in for a real treat for this one, too.
