It looks like Jesse and JT’s couple counseling is going well.

"That Impulse to just call it Erra"-Jesse Master of guitar, master of puns

You can tell that the two vocalists have had many disagreements about direction in their music, since they both appear to be perfectionists (especially Jesse, since he writes most of the tracks). But it's really cool to see that they have learned to work with each other and trust in each other's creative processes, to get the best results. And personally, I think this album is easily one of Erra's defining works.

This album is gonna be AOTY two years in a row. The new tracks are just straight nasty. Love it. There are breakdowns all over the place and the choruses. Just amazing

Love seeing the curtain being pulled back and hearing the honest conversation. Makes me even more excited for the future of the band

A year already since you released this album and it still sounds so fresh. I dont think there has been a single day in the last 365 where i didnt listen to a track off that record.

Props to Jesse rq. Jesse has not only improved his songwriting every single album, he has improved his live singing. I watched this man completely slay all of their new material as well as some songs from drift, completely live. A few years ago you couldn’t say the same thing. This band continues to innovate and rise above the bar! Best band in modern metal/metalcore rn.

This album still feels like it came out last month. Cant believe its about to be a year old next week.

I could have watched 40+ minutes of this. Love how open and honest these guys are!

Alex's mustache is AMAZING!

I absolutely love this band. One of my favourite bands right now, I'm glad I found them 🤘🤘🤘

I cannot believe how good the new songs are, especially Sol Absentia!!

Moustached Alex is too OP for life

Drift is summer core, absolute beaut

I like how Jesse stepped up and realized that he battles with being micro-manage-y. Everyone has ideas that they want to share. It’s best to be humble and ask what everyone else thinks about an idea instead of assuming that your own idea is the best one.

I really enjoyed seeing this open conversation. Looks like S/T Deluxe is gonna be AOTY for me again.

Yall need to take a page of the of the Parkway Drive book and do more stuff like this and even a documentary like they did. Love when bands do behind the scenes in the studio and backstage for a whole tour. Really sheds a whole new light on the bands and makes you more invested in the members.

Always so cool to have some insight into greatness. Obsessed with the new tracks, might have the AOTY two years in a row lol ! (Also I think my crush on JT intensifies everytime I see him, he's so cool damn)

RELEASE THE MERCH STORE!!!!

Never disappointing, always bringin the best. What cool guys you are, very professional and humble persons. I have a lot to learn from you guys ❤🙏

JT was definitely right about Drift. I think the self-titled is easily their best work yet as a band. It's comprehensive and amazing and there's really nothing you can objectively criticize about it. It's just missing the wholly unique vibe that Jesse was going for and finally accomplished in Drift though. It was pretty and ethereal despite being, y'know, metal. That was what Jesse took away from Misery Signals back in the day and wanted to expand upon, and that's what blew my mind when I listened to Drift for the first time back in 2016. Up until then I hadn't really seen anybody do that before and I wanted in so badly to the point that I started a whole new band with other kids Drift had afflicted in the same way. Only music project I can really say I was proud of to this day. Guys sold their Les Pauls for any 7 or 8 string they could find back in the day to copy Drift and Singularity by Northlane. I literally can't wait to see what these guys do next. Everything, the covers, Drift, Neon, the Self-Titled, I've loved it all. I think they've really hit their stride now and we're seeing some terrific things.

Awesome great lnterview . 👍 great music song. Great audio so sound great show

More of this type of content, please and thank you! :)

This album is a masterpiece, purchased it yesterday and have been hitting the replay button every so often. Good job!

That album is incredible

Appreciate this so much, continuous improvement 👍

Best album by the best band dude.

I'm even more of a fan now that I know they love NIN

THE STACHE

I fucking love you guys. Thank you for everything you do to bring pleasure to our ears

I think that mustache looks good on Alex. 👀

🙏

A cover album would be SO SICK.

6:44...Fart? Hello? McFly?

New songs are fuego. My only hope moving forward is that they find they abandon traditional pop song structures and start writing fully linear epic masterpieces. Jesse always adds nuances to ensure the songs aren't overly repetitive, but I think its still holding them back slightly. Still the best metalcore band currently in my opinion.

i would do anything jesse cash told me to do

Bro fuck ya I love that muse cover

you were right it was very loud XD

From Drift and Neon to the self tiled there is a noticeable difference in how "contrived" some of the sections of songs are. I love drift, it's a great album. Luminesce is still one of my favorite Erra tracks. But the self-titled album felt so free and every song was really a blank canvas for each of the band members to do their own thing. I can really appreciate Jesse acknowledging the truth that sometimes we can get in the way of our own goals by not getting out of the way of other people's creative abilities. Truly, the self-titled is one of my favorite metal albums of all time. Please keep going in this direction. You guys are crushing it right now🤘🤘

Jesse with beard look cursed lol

Why doesn't Alex Ballew take part in the discussions/interviews more? Not an issue... just curious (as a drummer myself)

I’m glad Erra isn’t anti-Christian. I had it blasting in my car and I was like “well. . . this feels bad.” 😂

Alex lookin like Mario

The bassist looks like Ryan Reynolds.

6:44 did anyone else hear that? That was a killer sound!

Guitar >> Metal I rarely ever listen to metal for lyrics anymore

I wonder what Matt would sound like if his producer didnt take out his good ideas

Please put a microphone in room next time.

Sad you had to bring up not being "Anti-Christian" because it was Nietzsche who said "god is dead." Too much philosophy for a KZfaq comment, but still. Cannot wait for the future of Erra and I'm sooo here for anything you guys bring.

"It's a rad song, uhh" FART sorry...

I heard a fart at 646 just saying

5:50 That's fair enough and do your thing, but if you get a bunch of pissed off fans, that's pretty fuckin understandable. The lyrics are pretty vitriolic, super insulting, and unapologetically so in the hatefulness towards Christians, in which that is miles away from a fair and good-faith criticism on religion or a thought-provoking commentary on it. You may think the song slaps, but that doesn't change that other people find it as a middle finger to who they are as people, and it's a pretty massive ask to request that they just look the other way on that and just focus on the cool synths you guys used. It's like covering One in a Million by GnR and telling people who are gay and black to just not mind the F-bombs and N-bombs. You can't really be that surprised if you find that they have a problem with that.

jesse talking about limiting JT's range previously. what range?? his mediocre screams with no range are literally what holds this band back.
