The band was formed by members of "By Blood and Iron," a Birmingham local band, and the ex-guitarist of "Broadcast the Nightmare," Alan Rigdon. They entered the Studio in late 2009 for their self titled EP. With Guitarists Jesse Cash and Alan Rigdon constantly writing material, they entered the studio again in July of 2010 for their second release, "Andromeda". Andromeda was released in December of 2010.
Soon after the release of "Andromeda," the band was back at 456 Recordings with Brian Hood in Nashville, TN to record their debut album. On November 29th, 2011, Erra released their debut album "Impulse."
In 2012, the band parted ways with their bassist Adam Hicks, who left to finish college. Sean Price joined Erra as the new bassist as they began recording another studio album in 2013. Erra's sophomore album, "Augment" was released on October 29th, 2013.
In 2014, Alan Rigdon, one of the guitarists, and Garrison Lee, the unclean vocalist, both left the band under separate circumstances. Ian Eubanks, a friend of the band, filled the vocalist position; he had filled in for Garrison on tour in the past.
In late May of 2014, the band began teasing new material they had been writing. Just over 5 months later, on November 10th, 2014, Erra released a 5 song EP through Sumerian Records titled "Moments of Clarity." Shortly after the release of the EP, Erra began writing a new album to follow up their 2013 release "Augment."
In 2016 vocalist J.T Cavey (ex-Texas In July) joined the band to replace Ian Eubanks' position. Cavey and the band entered the studio and wrote and released their third studio album Drift. The album reached #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. The band toured on the Sumerian 10-year tour, along with Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, After the Burial and Bad Omens.

ERRA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like your tender breath
I used to know so well
The silence is crushing
The white noise that used to call my name
Break down and all my thoughts have escaped me
Except for all the things that show me your face
Ever so brightly
Such little left
That I can say
With authenticity
So I
Close my eyes
And I can hear you calling
From behind
Close my eyes
I swear I feel you crawling
Towards the light
Tell me the words that will keep you close
Poor soul, heart full, temperature fluctuates
To later be buried in my own
Personal graveyard
Of emotion and past mistakes
Close my eyes
And I can hear you calling
From behind
Close my eyes
I swear I feel you crawling
Towards the light
My skin is turning white
Watching your soul in flight
Close my eyes
I swear I feel you crawling
Towards the light
The bloody beat, beat, beat in my chest
The coldest chill creeping up my neck
Tell me the words
That will keep you close
Life won't feel the same anymore
'Cause you're gone, and it's far too late to say
The things I'm sorry for
Five fingers gripping the glass
For the last time I'd hope to say
Three nights with no separation
I know too well there's one more thing I could have said
Life won't feel the same anymore
'Cause you're gone, and it's far too late to say
The things I'm sorry for
I can't take it back, I can't bring you back
Life won't feel the same anymore
'Cause you're gone
And I'm holding on
In the song "Continuum" by ERRA, the lyrics depict a sense of loss and longing for someone who is no longer present. The opening lines create a nostalgic atmosphere, comparing a passing breeze to the tender breath of the person who is deeply missed. The silence is described as crushing, and the once-familiar white noise now only serves to remind the singer of the person they desire. The theme of authenticity emerges, with the realization that there is little left to say or do that feels genuine in the absence of this person.
The chorus expresses the yearning for connection, as the singer closes their eyes and imagines hearing the person's voice and feeling their presence. The use of crawling towards the light suggests a desire to move forward and find solace, yet the pain still lingers. The reference to a personal graveyard of emotions and past mistakes implies that the loss has not only affected the singer emotionally, but also serves as a reminder of their own flaws and regrets.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more desperate. The imagery of a bloody beat and coldest chill implies a physical and emotional pain caused by this loss. The plea for the person to tell them the words that will keep them close reveals a longing to preserve the connection and seek forgiveness. However, the realization hits that it is too late to make amends, leaving the singer to hold on to the memories and the emptiness left behind.
Line by Line Meaning
This moment's passing breeze
The fleeting nature of time and experiences
Feels like your tender breath
The comforting presence of someone deeply familiar
I used to know so well
The loss of familiarity and understanding
The silence is crushing
The overwhelming weight of emptiness and absence
The white noise that used to call my name
The mundane distractions and routines that provided comfort
Break down and all my thoughts have escaped me
The overwhelming emotional turmoil that hinders clear thinking
Except for all the things that show me your face
The reminders and memories that keep the person alive in thoughts
Ever so brightly
Vivid and intense recollections of the person's presence
Poised through a lie that still remains
Struggling to maintain composure despite the pain and deception
Such little left
The scarcity of things that can be expressed genuinely
That I can say
The limited ability to articulate true feelings
With authenticity
Being genuine and true in expression
So I
Hesitation and a feeling of being stuck
Close my eyes
Seeking solace and escape from reality
And I can hear you calling
The longing for the person's presence and voice
From behind
The lingering echoes of their existence
I swear I feel you crawling
A sense of their spirit or essence persisting
Towards the light
The yearning for a brighter and happier future
Tell me the words that will keep you close
Seeking the right words to maintain a connection with the departed
Poor soul, heart full, temperature fluctuates
Emotional instability and turmoil of a broken heart
To later be buried in my own
Internalizing and suppressing emotions
Personal graveyard
The accumulation of unresolved emotional baggage
Of emotion and past mistakes
Regrets and unresolved feelings haunting the present
The bloody beat, beat, beat in my chest
The intense, agonizing heartbeat of grief
The coldest chill creeping up my neck
The unsettling and chilling feeling of loss
Life won't feel the same anymore
The profound impact of the person's absence
'Cause you're gone, and it's far too late to say
Regret for not expressing remorse or feelings earlier
The things I'm sorry for
Desire to apologize for past actions or words
Five fingers gripping the glass
Seeking comfort or escape through substance use
For the last time I'd hope to say
A final chance to express something meaningful
Three nights with no separation
The pain of enduring sleepless nights without the person
I know too well there's one more thing I could have said
The lingering regret of an unspoken message or sentiment
I can't take it back, I can't bring you back
The irreversible nature of loss and the inability to change the past
And I'm holding on
Clutching onto the memories and remnants of the person

I absolutely love JT, the new unclean vocalist, but Jesse never misses a note. Ever. He's perfect. Erra has crafted yet another masterpiece. This truly belongs in their repertoire.

Do you know if JT was ever in a band called "Hara Kiri"?
