From Courtney herself: "Vanish Canvas is my favorite song off the album and the part I chose to sing for is my favorite part of the song."

Honestly people say they wish Courtney had more of a part in this song, but really she wasn’t even needed in it, even though she always slays. Super solid vocals 🤘🏽

There's something about their guitar tone that even during the simple parts it just resonates down your spine.

ERRA has been the standout band for me in the last year.

Erra is one of the best bands out right now

Love ERRA they are fantastic great band an there music is beautiful just like this song Vanish Canvas

In metalcore it’s hard to stand out. And erra stands out

Courtney is like the Annie Lennox of Metal. Every time she comes in on a track it's just chills. Almost transports you somewhere.

I love this song. It gives me goose bumps. That doesn't happen often. One of the albums of the year.

One of my favorite singles that ERRA has released

I love this whole album from start to finish. The whole album is flawless and out of all the songs on this album this is my favorite song too. I still have this album on repeat

This is my introduction to Erra and I absolutely love it! Thanks gents for putting in the work. Your channel is fast becoming my go-to for new music to add to my playlists.

Erra has taken metalcore into the future. Everything we love from the 08’-16’ scene, they have turned it up to a new level. Can’t wait to see them in STL on the 20th🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Ive been jamming this song easily once a day. Everything is perfect about it.

WOW 😳 They're amazing.

I had a feeling she’d have the part she did. Perfect fit

I didn't notice her coming in either, but I definitely notice the uniqueness of her vocal as her verse progresses. With that said I also wish we had some play between her heavy vocals and JT's. Such a good fucking song!

New band to be added to the playlist! Preciate you guys!

Had to comment again, I can’t stop listening to this album but especially this song. This song might be as close to perfect as it gets for me personally. Beautifully written and executed flawlessly. It hits everything I want in a song. Clean vocals that make you feel something, heavy vocals that are placed perfectly and are a great tone, and musically it’s simple at times and technical at times all while flowing seamlessly and creating and absolutely wonderful experience.

I've found so many new bands through your reactions! Keep them coming 😊

Ever since I first found Erra I've loved them. This album was fantastic and I agree with both of you that it will be hard for me to ever not listen to anything from Erra in the future. Such amazingly talented artists that never disappoint.

This video is the first time i'd heard of this band/song and all i have to say is freakin GOOSEBUMPS man😯 definitely will be checking out more!!

Erra and imminence are by far my favorite bands, beautiful all around, having Courtney on this one was a plus

Outrun by Veil of Maya next?

Amazing & beautiful song 😍😍😍😍😍

Album of the year is going to be so hard. Erra, Spiritbox, Sleep Token, Don Broco, Tremonti, Dreamshade, Architects, Wildheart, Mirrors, Normandie, Weightless EP (my nephews band - you guys need to check them out!!) - all bangers and it’s so hard to choose. 2021 has been an excellent year for music

Electric Twilight and Lunar Halo are my favorites on the album, but still a stellar album all around.

I completely agree with you guys. I think the problem with doing a feature on this record is that every song is perfect, so there's just no need to add anything to it. It was a fun little feature at the very least! Also, I listen to this record front to back almost every day. AOTY for me 100%.

Damn brother comin in with the La Dispute shirt. That gives me huge nostalgia

Erra is so peaceful. Its happy metal. Even while being heavy AF, it's so peaceful

Been a fan of ERRA for a very long time. Always underrated as a band and Jesse as a musician. You guys loving the bass lines in the this song? That's all Jesse. He wrote and recorded all the guitars and bass for this album. Obviously still respect to Sean and newcomer Conner because they need to be able to play it live. As for the general underutilized Courtney in this song, I think it is just game-recognize-game and helping to promote each other and not so much for the actual creative addition to the song itself. ERRA now being on a larger, respectively, label of UNFD probably was given support to put this single out 7 months after the album released to try and get it back in the cycle. In addition to give some love to Spiritbox since their album, with a lot of hype behind it, just came out; even though they are on different labels.

You guys should listen to BMTH deathcore melody live 2018, it’s where Oli performs their older music with his new improved vocals

This is their finest masterpiece

I wonder if you've heard some of Jesse's solo work as Ghost Atlas, I especially love the acoustic album!

JT's heavy vocals are getting close to sounding like Jake from August Burns Red's and I am here for it. I love all the returns to form we are seeing in the metal core scene this year. Really therapeutic after such a hectic past year or two.

This dudes low scream sounds like misery signals so much to me. Listening to the album now, it’s really good 😊

The first time I heard this, I found myself asking where the Courtney feature was at… I thought I was being pranked

I have come back simply to say that With the headband and muscles Nathan looks like Thorkell from Vinland Saga

My top 2 favorite metal bands going, and they do a feature together... Oh man.. I wasn't ready.

Sucha good touch from the original

This album is so awesome

I've added more songs to my Playlist after watching you guys. I've learned our music is boring in the states. Keep up the good work. Thx guys

This album from Erra has got to be a contender for album of the year. I'd recommend for anyone that likes this song in particular to check out Jesse's side project Ghost Atlas. It would be time very well spent ;)

am i the only getting You’re Not Alone from Saosin vibes from this song?!

Holy crap i always thought that was your living room. What is life

Like for the banter, continued viewership for the bangers

Jesse Cash is lyrically gifted and that bass is phenomenal...

At the very least, I wish they had extended Courtney's part through the end of the song and had her vocals layered in with the "we are waking up out of this coma" outro section, either playing off of or replacing JT's screams/cleans. That part is so epic and I think it would have served the song better since she was towards the end of the song anyways.

Gotta check out the Spiritbox and Architects collab - Yellowjacket!!

Man, I didn't think this song could literally be any better but then they go and include Courtney like wtf. Her entrance gave me chills, but then when "Constellations" hits, with all 3 of them?.. it shook me. To the damn, *core*. I think the only way they could've done it better is if Courtney came in with one of JT's sections, but also the last verse but I think that's just asking for too much. Either way, this is still one of my favourite songs ever, definitely of the album.

I recognized her vocals as soon as she came in, but it sounded so natural, I was wondering if she didn't sing in album version as well. Had to double check. I think if she had sang more and/or been visually featured in the video, it would have been a little more unique.

Mr Cash is a god Period.

She mentioned in the interview that the part that she sang was her favorite part on the song, so she said it would be her honor to just do that part.

Johnny where is that t shirt from??

Can you please react to Fightstar?😊 Any of the following songs: Deathcar, Tannhauser Gate, Build an Army, Sink with the Snakes, Animal, Sleep Well Tonight. Thanks and keep it up, love your videos!

That wasn't an unpopular opinion Nath. A lot of people are disappointed with the song because Courtney didn't add much to it. I wish she did have more parts throughout the song to play off of JT and Jesse

Definitely digging the more melodic side of Erra. Courtney is always a nice treat, which made me like the song even more. I totally agree that, in my opinion, she didn’t really bring anything to the song BUT that said, still a great song 👌🏼

1. Erra, 2. Born Of Osiris, 3. Phinehas for top 3 so far. We got B4MV though around the corner

Alright I had to add this one bc no one said it! “If I vanish, canvas the area!”

low key crush on Johnny

To be honest, I think having the female voice itself on the song adds another layer of timbre to overall sound. Objectively, it's another level of frequencies that mesh well. I do wish they added her more in to the rest of the song. I think her being the harmony lines to Jesse could have been a really great way to add that tension of male and female voice fighting together. I think a great example is MGK and Halsey with forget me too. I think execution-wise that is how they should have used Courtney's voice here. You could have added her screams too, but Jesse has always been the icing on the cake for this band. It'd be the equivalent of how Spencer from periphery does his harmonies. Jesse with the rasp and grit in that register, Courtney with the ethereal cleans to compliment the other end of Jesse's grit when they both hit high notes. With headphones on, I think there was a really great opportunity to place these Left to Right in the mix as well if they used courtney in the way I suggest.

Holy shit! You gotta check out the dali thundering concept with their track The myth of happiness! It has an amazing music video and the lyrics are Just 😫🤌 And the instrumentals are just the most groovy heavy perfection combo

Please do Volumes new one - Bend 💜

For her to have been effective it needed to be more of a duet feature. If her and Jesse had done the second verse/chorus with Jesse on the chorus as well, this would have felt way different.

The song is great no matter what… BUT I was disappointed that Courtney didn’t have more of a feature! Definitely still one of the better songs of the year so far though, especially as far as metal goes.

Spot on. It did not improve the song. I’m glad you were honest.

Are you guys going to review anything off the Spiritbox album? Im shocked you havent touched it yet

Aquarius ♒️

Naa i reckon ....She def added a punch to an already Awesome track!!!

La dispute for the win

I think it would have been hard for Courtney to add anything to a song that has been out for 6 months. Sam Carter added something to Yellowjacket because he was in on the recording process and it is 'partly' his song, so it made a difference. I really appreciated the femininity she brought to the post bridge.

Are you guys gonna do an AOTY video in Dec/Jan?

i thought courtney sing in the second chorus, but its okay

Please react to drone corpse aviator by archspire

wow my time management is fucked, like im meant to be dozing off then GOOD MORNING PEOPLE.

One flaw to this it sounds exactly like there last stuff really to me but still a great song.

Courtney seems to be a huge fan of Erra and Jesse, I'm sure that she would 100% agree that it's basically impossible to 1-up Jesse's OG take. But to pretty much match it is a hell of a praise.

How’s your pie?

React ghost by justin bieber!!!!

Love ERRA. Love Courtney and Spiritbox. This guest vocal verse just didn't work for me. They need to write a song together and have Courtney harmonize with Jesse on the entire song. That would be sick and I hope it happens someday! Great review and channel guys. Cheers from Honduras!

Really not the song for Courtney to shine on, song is one of the best songs on the album. They should of done a new single with Courtney screaming with JT and singing with Jesse

btw ur video went kinda blurry just so you know

That gives me some August Burns Red Vibes. Just not as heavy as August Burns Red

bro she sounds nothing like the other singer lmao but the same thing happened to me I never realized it was Courtney till much later

Courtney at this point is like getting a Drake feature for metal - but this doesn't do it for me at all. She came in right at the end and didn't add anything to the song. Hell - she wasn't even shown in the music video. ERRA over the course of 5 albums has never had a feature and the one time they do it, it goes like this :/

I get the impression that Courtney Actively tries to stay out of the way when possible. Her parts are always welcome, and of course she kills it every time, but Even with her feature in Contraband, I think the general listener would have liked her to do some cleans as well, but again, she seems to like to put her hand print in the concrete and then kinda fade back away. I'd say to a certain extent that she is conservative, almost to a fault with her features but at the same time, it's nice that she appears to recognize it's not HER song, she's just adding flavor as a feature is really supposed to do.

Music had different flares as well, which were great but you two are correct. She is amazing but not needed in this song

Arms! arms too big. Cleans, cleans too high. I'm out but I'll be back.

It’s an amazing song and for record purposes I don’t believe Courtney was necessary, but my god… Jessie’s vocals are horrendous live, and it kills me to say that

Guy, talk less and please dont pause , especially on solos...

idk the song to me was whatever.. def the worst feature Courtney has been on.. and for a music video to not even have her image in the video.. it felt like just a name grab to get more views.. I just didn't see the point of it
