Prolific metalcore progressives ERRA — J.T. Cavey, vocals; Jesse Cash, vocals/ guitar; Conor Hesse, bass; Alex Ballew, drums; and Clint Tustin, guitar — return with their first taste of new music since 2024’s critically acclaimed CURE, in the form of new single, ‘Gore of Being’.
The track boasts ERRA’s signature cerebral and surgically precise, guitar-driven sound and flawlessly executed melodies. The stunning technical prowess is infused with raw emotion and you can feel the beating heart at its core. The vocal interplay between Cavey and Cash remains a potent element of ERRA’s sound, meshing the brutal with the beautiful in seamless fashion.
“‘Gore of Being’ started as an idea that Clint brought into the studio and marks his first songwriting contribution to the band,” ERRA share. “Lyrically, ‘Gore of Being’ turned out to be a musing on mortality. Despite not writing the lyrics, Clint later had a conversation with Jesse connecting the serendipity between the lyrics and the working title Clint had for the instrumental, which related to his dad’s sudden and tragic passing. The song’s context took a new shape from there, becoming a catharsis and being that much more special to the band.”
’Gore of Being’ isn’t the only new music from ERRA ths summer. They plan to drop another single, titled ‘Echo Sonata,’ later this month.
