I mean it was a really sick guitar solo, but in terms of hard, not really. I read the comment before watching the video, and had high expectations. I was expecting something like Andy James, or Dream Theater. THAT is what I would consider hard. I mean, just listen to this Dying soul, or the glass prison, In the name of god. Really any Dream Theater solo but those are some of my favourites off the top off my head. Compared to that, Erra solo is a fairly run of the mill technical/metalcore solo.
I had tickets to see Erra supporting August Burns Red at the end of 2019. Unfortunately, my friend was getting married on the same day and it was an open bar. So I didn't get the chance to see them. :/
I wish more people were talking about how the dude who normally screams is singing with Jesse in the chorus now. And his tone is really good. Great song though
i can't count how many times i've revisited this vid since it came out, the song is still an absolute blast and might be one of my all-time favourites, but so can nik's reaction to this one as well!! so fun to watch every. single. time.
As someone who has loved this band since moments of clarity, this is some of their best work of all time. Definitely has a augment feel to it, mixed with drift
I'm not a guitarist at all, but for some reason when you say "solo that shit bro" I can't help but smile. Like one musician to another it's just awesome to hear you encourage like that.
Yo thank you so much for introducing me to this track/band. This shit helped me so much coming up with writing a new song. Inspiration is always great!
Props to the drummer on this track. Those Herta double bass patterns are not easy when you make it alternating between left and right feet leading. Also, dude's got some speed to his feet to.
solo is amazing song is killer. can we talk about that 2 hand tappy thing that the bassist is tossing in there real quick? this hits soooo hard, so much love
Erra has been one of my favorite bands the second i was introduced to them like 3 years ago or so. They are insanely talented and their sound is *myuah* perfect.
Never heard of these guys but I'll definitely listen to their albums. Nik love the channel. You always put me onto great bands, and as a plus its nice to see you enjoy Crystal Lake as much as I do 😁😂
I'm not a hook sort of person, I love this band totally & like anything they do....the rewarding feeling of thinking "I do think that band is a bit better than the rest" a couple of years ago pre-lockdown crap......& now they're on their first headline tour, looking forward to seeing them in the UK ~ AT LEAST TWICE! Gonna see a couple of the shows at least.
Very new to ERRA, only having listened to Eye of God and now this. I prefer Eye of God to this, catchier chorus and more memorable, however I really enjoy the structure in this one. Feels a lot more proggressive.
Oh, my dude. Then you HAVE to listen to the Impulse and Augment albums. They're a must. Honestly, all their work is solid and superb, but those two albums, imho, are their masterpieces.
Eye of God is decent but it is like their most forgettable song compared to their previous work AND this . (That's only because they set the bar insanely high ^^ ) You should definitely listen to their previous albums especially Augment and Drift imo.
ERRA just literally takes progressive Metalcore to the next level.....by adding well structured guitar work...with the stereotypic breakdown...this band literally destroyed music taste...💜💜
Love your reactions, as usual :D Honestly when I first heard this song, I smashed the repeat button 5 times in a row, just fucking love this song x) and I hadn't listened to ERRA for a while so that was a great surprise for me :)
"...I'm not spending 3 days to get that shit down dude..." man, it would take me 3 days just to think about how many weeks (probably months) it would take me to learn it... I am focusing on Orchid which is also waaayyy beyond my skill level but I find working to learn a song like these actually help me improve, even though it is mostly humbling and frustrating it is 100% worth the effort. Fun video by the way (yours as well as ERRA's). ERRA really knows how to make amazing guitar riffs, changing things up so fast your brain doesn't even know what to do. They definitely have a unique sound and their best stuff has been permanently burned into my brain - and I'm better off because of it. Cheers!
I feel like erra,northlane,in hearts wake really helped metalcore turn to a more melodic sound but keep it heavy. Of course there are several bands before then but I didn’t really notice it in the modern scene until they popped up.
Nik: Chorus or Smash?
Erra: Double kicks go BRRRRRRRRRRR
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO
I wish chorus, because that chorus is shivering. I absolutely hate that they don't revisit it, even though the rest of the song still goes super hard
I am loving all of these reaction vids. Thanks so much for checking it out dude! Really enjoyed hearing your take on it 🙏🏼❤️
You guys fucking KILLED this track dude. Cannot wait for more ♥️
How did you guys convince JT to join after he left Texas in July??
A chorus that catchy should be illegal
best clean choruses in metal
So ready to see y’all at Furnace Fest!!!
“How hard are you going to make your guitar solo?”
Erra: “yes”
Tell that to Herman Li lol
Sam Ward Li sucks dude his solos are awful just a pack of annoying random sounds

@@mooneyman4655 poppo
I’ve got most of it down!!! It’s not impossible! Just play it slowly and build up that muscle memory which is what it mainly is!!!
Erra has quickly become one of my absolute favorites
Ever since I saw them open for CTE I was hooked
Their one of my favorite bands, absolutely epic live!
Ever since I heard their Neon album randomly one day they have rocketed to the top of all time favorites.
The moment I heard Augment I was hooked. Never looked back
Augment/Dementia is one of the coolest finales to an album I've ever heard
Nik: *Burps*
Erra: "oh you think you're nasty, have a listen to our breakdown"
If I could like this comment six times I would lmao
Seeing Northlane and Erra with Currents and Crystal Lake last year was one fucking insane show I'll never forget.
That show was fucking crazy
went to the NYC one. Best night of my life..!
I had tickets to see Erra supporting August Burns Red at the end of 2019. Unfortunately, my friend was getting married on the same day and it was an open bar. So I didn't get the chance to see them. :/
This sure had to be a fucking blast, man.
I heavily envy you americans just for this one show, no kidding.
Jelly
ERRA never seems to disappoint
Agreed
terrible at covers tho
@@tfwnoyandere I haven't heard any of their covers
@@EmbracetheHaunting didnt erra do that shithouse qotsa cover or was that some other genericore
@@tfwnoyandere they might have but I haven't heard it yet. I'll look it up though to see what you're talking about
Erra never fucking disappoints, theyre so unique in the metalcore ecosystem. Love them! , this track is a banger
I wish more people were talking about how the dude who normally screams is singing with Jesse in the chorus now. And his tone is really good. Great song though
JT. He was the last vocalist for Texas in July.
4 years ago Erra released a banger that remains my favourite song... Amazing!!
ERRA will never drop a bad song, its impossible for them to not make bangers
“That’s a good way to break in the new place” 😂😂 had me on my ass😂😂
I hadn’t heard of these guys before, will definitely add them to my list
Need a more hooky chorus? Just listen to it again
Lol 💯
Spot on
Right? That major resolution is heavenly
ERRA IS A TOP 5 METALCORE BAND OF ALL TIME: CHANGE MY MIND
Spoiler : WE CAN'T
ABR, Texas In July , Architects, The Ghost Inside, Parkway Drive. :(
Laughs in As I Lay Dying
the wild Nik Nocturnal has migrated to the window...
@Victor Villatoro Gamboa i saw the post, i was joking haha
@Victor Villatoro Gamboa Ye, he was also saying life has been ... lately, anyone know what the emergency was?
@@jeroen0011 Family issues, maybe he doesn't want to disclose it
He isnt very nocturnal anymore

Erra is so good in a way that's not overkill. They've been on my list since around 2015
24 belongs to Jesse
I remember hearing about these dudes when they first came onto the scene in 2009 or so and being surprised that this kind of band came out of Alabama.
Show this to your buddy alex hefner he need to react to some ERRA
oh yea i agree with this wholeheartedly
@@rickburker that'll be a dopeass day for me. Especially if he react to the whole augment album
@@Krayvune Check out Hard Core's video.
@@Krayvune Aw hell yea
please no
I come back to this video periodically just to see the reaction again
Dude. You gotta react to Sleep Token! “The Offering” would be awesome.
So much this!
Up
He should cover this song and higher by them.
KhllVz and gods
Yes!
hope everything is going well Nik ❤️❤️❤️ ERRA is here to save the day anyway! 😍
Who will be covering this song first? You or Nick? I hope to see both!
@@KhalilVaz João already on the case! Nik running behind 🤣
KhllVz EVERCHANGER 100%
Oh hello!!!!!!!!!
The last breakdown though...
Caught me by surprise
I'm not a guitarist at all, but for some reason when you say "solo that shit bro" I can't help but smile. Like one musician to another it's just awesome to hear you encourage like that.
Love the ending breakdown so much. OW!
Yo thank you so much for introducing me to this track/band. This shit helped me so much coming up with writing a new song. Inspiration is always great!
JT: Can you hear the screaming?
Me: Oh, I definitely can. Thanks for checking.
So sickkkk to see this mans happy , glad everything’s good!!
Okay I just finished the video and my jaw dropped at “the in between”??? And then when it hit I froze in time... my God Erra 🤤
Props to the drummer on this track. Those Herta double bass patterns are not easy when you make it alternating between left and right feet leading. Also, dude's got some speed to his feet to.
This song slapped me into an astral projection.
Their guitar work is insane!!! Love them!
This band was founded Birmingham Alabama, witch is crazy for me because I live about 4 miles away from there, sick band, keep up the great work.
The "Irreversible" riff reimagined !
Bro!! How have I never heard of this band?! All in love over here now lol!
I love when you say : "take a week to learn this shit" i need months to only play one riff fast enought haha
That harmonic twist really open the sound and emotional (love the drum and guitar work too) amazing
"I just moved in here guys...... I can't break the walls"..... I can't 🤣🤣🤣
solo is amazing song is killer. can we talk about that 2 hand tappy thing that the bassist is tossing in there real quick? this hits soooo hard, so much love
I got interested in this band when I saw him cover the solo of hybrid earth, they’re sick lml
Erra has been one of my favorite bands the second i was introduced to them like 3 years ago or so. They are insanely talented and their sound is *myuah* perfect.
"good ol' 000's"
i laughed so hard
Same lmao 😂😂
You know this is a masterclass on guitar if my boy hasn't put out a cover within a few hours.
I looove how JT and Jesse go back and forth in the chorus. This is some of their absolute best work.
Fucking love this song and album. Definitely gonna dive deeper into this band 🤘🏻🔥
So fckn epic. Seen them live twice and this is their best track by far
You should react to Like Moths To Flames new single “Habitual Decline” 🤘🔥
YAS
We all want this and yet get shitty Deftones that's just meh
@@badjaboy07 They're so overrated tbh.
Reacted to it on stream
I remember listening to ERRA back when they first dropped there stuff on youtube. They've come so damn far its wild
First thing I did after watching the video was come and see your reaction. Let’s go !
ERRA are the essential modern prog metal band for me. So ethereal yet so heavy, I _love_ it
Awesome new jamb by Erra! Finally checking out some Thornhill I see. About time! You need to get some on the channel
Fuck yeah! It's been more than a year since eye of God and we finally got this, they been teasing this for so loooong
Really good band that plays well together. Love the polarizing vocals.
Yesss, I was waiting for this video!
This channel notifies me when bands release songs better that streaming services do
Hope everything's okay with your family dude! Love this banger, glad you do too!
Congrats to your 300k subs!
wanna learn how to write a breakdown in metal???
OPEN A BOX OF CHEERIOS
I can’t believe he’s complaining about that solo taking him 3 days lmao it would take me 3 months. You’re just built different, Nik!
Let's hear it man! I know you wanted to jump and scream and punch the air with that breakdown! Don't hold it in!
2:08
When the riff is just too spicy 🌶🥵😂
We all know he full after this one 😂😂😂
chills down my curved spine every time with Jesse. definitely one of my favorite vocalists next to Brian from currents and Noah from bad omens.
Please react to Sleep Token - ”Gods” or ”The Offering” 🤩
Dark Signs is also a dope ass song from them
Whole album is GOAT
Agree!! Love this band!!
Dude I love your reactions, it's so fun to watch and you make me laugh so much, thank you!
I didn't get into Texas in July until they broke up so when I found out the vocalist joined erra was hype af
Never heard of these guys but I'll definitely listen to their albums. Nik love the channel. You always put me onto great bands, and as a plus its nice to see you enjoy Crystal Lake as much as I do 😁😂
Awesome vid Nik!
I felt the same way about the chorus on my first listen, but after having it on repeat all day I can confidently say that it's a certified ear worm
That chorus grabbed me in places within my soul I never knew existed the first time I heard it
This was definitely my favorite reaction of yours haha
Always killing it brotha
Dude, this song is fucking amazing. So glad I just found this
Every time I come back to a Nik video, his intros veer closer and closer to LA Beast's style/mannerisms
I freaked out when I saw a new Erra track. Been waiting for this
I'm not a hook sort of person, I love this band totally & like anything they do....the rewarding feeling of thinking "I do think that band is a bit better than the rest" a couple of years ago pre-lockdown crap......& now they're on their first headline tour, looking forward to seeing them in the UK ~ AT LEAST TWICE! Gonna see a couple of the shows at least.
Its funny i heard this in the morning. I was waiting for this video because I knew his reactions would be great.
You should totally react to Darko US - Insects. Keen to hear what you think.
The lead riffs in the intro and chorus were basically the "Smash it with reverb" technique you showed us in one of your tutorials
YES THEY FINALLY GOT THE TEXAS IN JULY RECIPE MIXED WITH HIS FUCKING CLEAN VOCALSSS LOOOL :D
Insane track, The begining of the video is awesome.
This track caught everyone off guard with that solo including myself 😂😂😂
Very new to ERRA, only having listened to Eye of God and now this. I prefer Eye of God to this, catchier chorus and more memorable, however I really enjoy the structure in this one. Feels a lot more proggressive.

Another belter from ERRA. Brilliant song
Best Erra song hands down
Dude, this song fucking slaps. Words can’t describe how happy I am.
Crazy how everyone is like "yaaa I will not be covering this".
"...I'm not spending 3 days to get that shit down dude..." man, it would take me 3 days just to think about how many weeks (probably months) it would take me to learn it... I am focusing on Orchid which is also waaayyy beyond my skill level but I find working to learn a song like these actually help me improve, even though it is mostly humbling and frustrating it is 100% worth the effort.

This is one if the few TH-cam thumbnail image facial expressions that is actually warranted.
Glad your back!
First time hearing the song! I'm really happy just like you
*I ain’t spending 3 days trynna get that shit down, dude*
Nik... Now we fully expect you to get this shit down in 3 days, dude
This song is gonna be my New Jam🔥🔥
Breakdowns, cool chorus, more breakdowns, Epic Solo, triplets, BREAAKDOWWWNN = Banger.
Finally, new Erra, this one is a banger for sure! 🤘
Dude your breakdown dance is the best lol
I feel like erra,northlane,in hearts wake really helped metalcore turn to a more melodic sound but keep it heavy. Of course there are several bands before then but I didn’t really notice it in the modern scene until they popped up.
I watch you more than the video...you're hilarious! xD
