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 ↴
Like leaves from trees, standing short and tall
My lungs are frozen from the winter air
A stale cold and respiratory flare
Crimson scatters near the roots of the last soldier from the summer
It's as if the battle happened here and the bodies were buried under
A tectonic drift and polar shift would ensure our camouflage
It would be as if we never happened, and this place was a mirage
We cut straight through like Roman spear
Displacing oxygen like a paid assassin
Promised to forget because it never happened
It's as if I've fallen with the fall
Like leaves from trees, standing short and tall
Crimson scatters near the roots of the last soldier from the summer
It's as if the battle happened here and the bodies were buried under
Stimulating consequences rest on my conscience
This addiction to the things we do is neither conventional or acknowledged
An echo of existence subsist in our commencement
Limitations have escaped us, contrary to accepted thesis
A tectonic drift and polar shift would ensure our camouflage
It would be as if we never happened, and this place was a mirage
We constantly collide with the troposphere
We cut straight through like Roman spear
Displacing oxygen like a paid assassin
Promised to forget because it never happened
Crimson scatters near the roots of the last soldier from the summer
It's as if the battle happened here and the bodies were buried under
An echo of existence
Subsist in our commencement
Limitations have escaped us, contrary to accepted thesis
An echo of existence
Limitations have escaped us an echo of existence
The song "Crimson" by Erra is a poignant exploration of the transience and futility of human life. The lyrics use vivid natural imagery to convey a sense of loss and impermanence, with the "fall" of leaves from trees serving as a metaphor for our own inevitable decline. The image of "Crimson" scattered near the roots of the last soldier from the summer suggests that the battle has been lost, and that death has taken hold. The idea of a "tectonic drift and polar shift" evokes a sense of cosmic upheaval, with even the earth being affected by the fleeting nature of our existence.

It's as if I've fallen with the fall
I feel like I've fallen along with the change of season
Like leaves from trees, standing short and tall
Just like leaves that fall off trees in autumn, some are shorter and some are taller
My lungs are frozen from the winter air
It's so cold that even my lungs feel frozen
A stale cold and respiratory flare
My breath is stale and my respiratory system is struggling to cope with the cold
Crimson scatters near the roots of the last soldier from the summer
Red leaves are scattered near the base of the last-standing tree from summer
It's as if the battle happened here and the bodies were buried under
The red leaves make it look like a battle happened, and bodies were buried there
Stimulating consequences rest on my conscience
I'm aware of the consequences of my actions and they weigh heavily on my mind
This addiction to the things we do is neither conventional or acknowledged
Our addiction to certain actions is unconventional and not recognized by society
An echo of existence subsist in our commencement
A trace of our existence remains at the beginning of our journey
Limitations have escaped us, contrary to accepted thesis
We are not bound by conventional limitations, despite what is accepted as the norm
A tectonic drift and polar shift would ensure our camouflage
A sudden shift in the Earth's crust or polar axis would hide our presence
It would be as if we never happened, and this place was a mirage
The shift would make it seem like we never existed and this place was an illusion
We constantly collide with the troposphere
We keep running into the layer of atmosphere closest to Earth
We cut straight through like Roman spear
We penetrate the troposphere just like a Roman spear
Displacing oxygen like a paid assassin
Our actions are causing harm to the environment, just like a paid killer
Promised to forget because it never happened
We promise to forget our actions because it's easier than facing the consequences
An echo of existence
A sign of our existence
Subsist in our commencement
Remains present at the beginning of our journey
Limitations have escaped us an echo of existence
We are not bound by conventional limitations, and this is just a sign of our existence
