Following up on the success of their Divebomb Bootcamp Series re-release last year entitled, Victim Of Thought, ENERTIA returns with their 5th album and first of new material in a decade. Piece Of The Factory (DIVE083), will be released via Divebomb Records on July 17th, 2015.
After working practically non-stop for eleven years, which included rehearsing 2-3 times a week, 800+ shows in 20+ states and well over 10,000 CDs sold on six continents, upstate New York pure American Metal band, ENERTIA was at a crossroads. After spending in excess of $25k recording their fourth album, Force, with producer, Neil Kernon, the band had finally exhausted their bank account and didn't have the money or resources to properly record their fifth album. It was time for ENERTIA to regroup.
Fast forward to 2007, after three productive years laying the groundwork for what would become their much anticipated new album everything had almost disastrously ground to a halt, that is, until bassist, Joe Paciolla, made up his mind that these recordings had to be completed no matter the cost. In 2011, the band fortuitously happened upon a great studio and in it the remarkable engineer/producer, Tim Lynch, who was enlisted to help guide ENERTIA through the completion of the album.
Three additional years of hard work and several hundred hours were spent at The Recording Company in Esperance, NY, where ENERTIA created the most diverse, infectious and prolific album of the band’s lengthy career, Piece Of The Factory.
ENERTIA is now almost two decades in from the release of their debut EP, Law Of Three, and after years of hard work and perseverance it would seem this could their end up being their swan song. Could Piece Of The Factory be ENERTIA’s farewell, only time will tell, but delivering the fans an album this powerful indicates they most definitely plan on going out with the biggest bang of their nearly twenty year career.

Enertia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For as long as I can remember it's been the same way
Is it guilt? maybe shame? senseless sorrow so they say
A past life mistake I'm paying for
What I see is so real
Can't explain how it feels
And maybe it will pass with time
Is there something I dream to find?
I'd be forced to sleep connected to machines
Is it guilt? maybe shame? senseless sorrow so they say
A past life mistake I'm paying for
What I see is so real
Can't explain how it feels
And maybe it will pass with time
Is there something I dream ?
Sleeping, wondering
Awaking to nothing
Screaming, hoping
Sleep through the haunting
I never wanted to be like this, but what I want doesn't matter
I'm not the only one that's hurt and I'll say I'm sorry
What I see is so real
Can't explain how it feels
And maybe it will pass with time
Is there something I dream ?
Glitch in my head
The dream has begun
Another restless night
Again darkness has won
What I see, is it guilt, how I feel
What I see, it's so real, how I feel
It's so real, how I feel, it's so real
The lyrics to Enertia's song Glitch detail the struggles of a person haunted by vivid dreams that they cannot escape. The dream sequences are described as being potentially related to past mistakes, leading to feelings of guilt and shame. Despite the overwhelming and often disturbing nature of these visions, the singer of the song finds it difficult to share their experiences with others out of fear of being labeled as mentally unstable.
The use of the word 'glitch' in the song's title highlights the idea that these dreams feel like a malfunction or interruption in the singer's life. This sentiment is echoed in the lines, "Sleeping, wondering / Awaking to nothing / Screaming, hoping / Sleep through the haunting". The dreams are tied to an intense emotional response that the singer can't shake, leading them to question whether there is a purpose or meaning behind them.
Ultimately, the song speaks to the isolating and confusing experience of grappling with mental health issues, particularly those related to sleep disturbances and vivid dreams. Rather than offering a clear solution or resolution, the lyrics seem to suggest that it's a process that the singer will need to endure and ultimately find their own way through.
