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.

Frostbite
Erra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold ideals implanting themselves inside my head
Inadvertent gestures given effortlessly by my limbs
Complacency of warmth never sets in
This is an endless winter
One where the air gets thinner
A proclamation to the clement seasons
War without a rhyme or reason
Though personal and integral, I cannot bear to brace this creature
It's becoming deeper
This feeling urges my cliffs steeper
Stepping closer to see the fall
Negligence consumes my all
Have I let go of what I am?
I stand here with unclenched hands
Retreating into my own
Enduring this all alone
I scream to remember passion
Unheard emotions in breathtaking fashion
Frostbit fingertips caress the razor's edge
Cold ideals implanting themselves inside my head
We are all the same; unique and indifferent
Living as if this cryptic fever is isolated, but it isn't
Have I let go of what I am?
I stand here with unclenched hands
Retreating into my own
Enduring this all alone
Have I let go of what I am?
The lyrics of Erra's song Frostbite address the feelings of isolation and detachment that often result from a struggle with depression or anxiety. The opening lines, "Frostbit fingertips caress the razor's edge/Cold ideals implanting themselves inside my head," refer to the sharp, numbing sensation that can come from repeated self-harm or negative self-talk. The singer is battling with their own mind and feeling like no one else can understand the reasoning behind their actions.
As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal a sense of longing for connection and a fear of losing oneself completely. The line "Turmoil is elemental and so simplistic a feature/Though personal and integral, I cannot bear to brace this creature" suggests that while the pain may be familiar, it is still overwhelming and difficult to cope with. The phrase "retreating into my own" speaks to the tendency to isolate oneself when struggling with mental health issues, and the repeated question "Have I let go of what I am?" is a reminder to hold onto one's sense of identity and purpose despite the challenges faced.
Overall, Frostbite is a poignant and emotional exploration of what it feels like to struggle with mental illness and the constant push-pull between wanting to connect and wanting to retreat from the world.
Line by Line Meaning
Frostbit fingertips caress the razor's edge
My emotions are frigid and painful, like frostbite, as I dance on the edge of danger.
Cold ideals implanting themselves inside my head
I am being influenced by dangerous, extremist beliefs that are changing my thoughts and feelings.
Inadvertent gestures given effortlessly by my limbs
Because of my numbness to the world around me, I act unconsciously and thoughtlessly, hurting others without realizing it.
Complacency of warmth never sets in
I can never find comfort or happiness in life - I am always unhappy and cold.
This is an endless winter
Metaphorically, my life is a permanent, never-ending winter, filled with coldness, pain, and suffering.
One where the air gets thinner
As I continue on this path, I find that I am losing clarity of thought and becoming more isolated from the rest of the world.
A proclamation to the clement seasons
I long for simpler times, when life was calm and peaceful, but my dangerous ideas make that impossible.
War without a rhyme or reason
My battles and struggles have no clear purpose or goal - they are simply chaos and confusion.
Turmoil is elemental and so simplistic a feature
My inner struggles are basic and fundamental parts of who I am, and I cannot escape them.
Though personal and integral, I cannot bear to brace this creature
Even though my problems are an essential part of who I am, I cannot bear to face them head-on, out of fear or uncertainty.
It's becoming deeper
My issues are getting worse and more pronounced, and I feel like I am drowning in them.
This feeling urges my cliffs steeper
My emotions are pushing me towards a more dangerous and unstable place in life.
Stepping closer to see the fall
Despite the risks, I am drawn towards self-destruction and fear that I might be unable to control myself.
Negligence consumes my all
My lack of attention and care for myself has led to me spiraling out of control, and I am powerless to stop it.
Have I let go of what I am?
I fear that my true self, my identity, has been lost in my struggles and suffering.
I stand here with unclenched hands
In the face of danger and uncertainty, I remain poised and calm, but paralyzed to act or do anything to save myself.
Retreating into my own
Instead of facing my issues, I am withdrawing further into myself, becoming more isolated and alone.
Enduring this all alone
I am suffering and in pain, but I am doing so in isolation, without anyone to help or support me.
I scream to remember passion
I am crying out for the emotional intensity of what once drove me, hoping to rekindle some fire in my life.
Unheard emotions in breathtaking fashion
My emotions are powerful, but I feel like no one understands or hears them, as if I am shouting into the void.
We are all the same; unique and indifferent
Although we are all different, each of us has our own struggles, and we all feel alone and isolated in our suffering.
Living as if this cryptic fever is isolated, but it isn't
Many of us are suffering without realizing it or acknowledging it; our struggles are not as unique or separate as we might think.

Im so sorry for everyone who can’t see how good this is. Everyone who just thinks this is noise, holy shit I feel so sorry. So happy to have this in my life
@cat_loaf943
I genuinely like their songs, not only the instrumental masterpiece, but the meaning behind their songs as well. Very admirable indeed.
@rowhaus5478
This is shit
@johnblack8872
I like metalcore but i think people hype this album a bit to much. That being said some of the songs are pretty good but i almost feel like the songs generally sound the sameish. And it like listening to a audio version of a tiny squiggly line there are few parts in some of the songs that are like holy F. But over all i find the album so far to be meh. Im only on frostbite so far so we will see. Its actually good so far only because it isnt bad. I can definately see the draw

@@johnblack8872 as far as melodic metalcore goes, I think this is definitely one the genres modern crowning achievements. A lot of the bands from this time haven’t aged very well, and I much prefer older traditional metalcore these days. However, this album has stood the test of time and still blows me away. It’s a shame the band didn’t keep this sound.
