ERRA Releases New Album
March 6, 2026 – Birmingham, AL – Metalcore band ERRA have released their much-anticipated new album silence outlives the earth, available now through UNFD. The record includes previously released tracks “i. the many names of god” and “further eden,” along with the newly released single “black cloud.” Fans can stream or purchase the album here: https://erra.lnk.to/silence
Speaking about the track, the band explained:
“‘black cloud’ came together while Dan and Jesse were writing in the studio. The process felt unusual because we built the song almost in reverse—starting with bass, drums, and melody before adding the guitars at the end. We focused on keeping the track straightforward and genuine rather than overcomplicating it with extra ideas. In the end, it produced some of the most powerful melodies and lyrics on the album.”
ERRA begin their spring tour tonight, embarking on a six-week co-headlining run across North America with Currents. Several dates—including Cleveland, New York, Chicago, Denver, and Anaheim—have already sold out, and tickets for many other shows are close to selling out as well. A full list of tour dates can be found below or at https://errastore.com/.
About ERRA
Formed in 2009, ERRA—comprised of founding members Alex Ballew (drums) and Jesse Cash (guitar/clean vocals), alongside J.T. Cavey (lead vocals), Conor Hesse (bass), and Clint Tustin (guitar)—have built their sound around a balance of intense heaviness and reflective atmosphere. Their self-released debut EP, also titled ERRA, immediately positioned the band as an emerging force within progressive metal, a reputation they have continued to develop over the years.
Their latest album, silence outlives the earth, represents one of the band’s most refined and cohesive efforts to date. Beginning with the opening track “stelliform,” the album unfolds in a space that feels suspended between moments—drawing inspiration from personal experiences as well as the broader condition of the world. The record explores themes of transition and the idea of existing in the in-between.
Throughout the album, contemplative themes are paired with moments of atmospheric calm, reflecting introspection and emotional depth. At the same time, the band delivers the powerful, cathartic heaviness they are known for. ERRA recorded the album with producer and engineer Daniel Braunstein, continuing a creative partnership that also shaped their previous three records. The collaboration pushes the band’s sonic contrasts further than ever while maintaining a cohesive and immersive sound.
This level of precision allows the album to feel like a continuous narrative experience. While many of the ideas come from personal reflections, they are also influenced by external sources—often books Jesse Cash has read or words and phrases that resonate with him. These inspirations come together in striking ways throughout the album, especially on the track “black cloud.”
Reflecting on the song’s creation, Cash explained:
“When I wrote it, I was thinking about the day my dad passed away, though the song itself isn’t directly about that moment. It’s more about the feeling tied to it. So while that memory anchored the emotion behind the lyrics, the song isn’t meant to literally tell that story.”
Because of this approach, the songs on silence outlives the earth leave space for listeners to interpret them in their own way, allowing each person to connect the music to their own experiences. That openness came naturally during the writing process.
Ultimately, silence outlives the earth acts as an honest reflection of both the current state of the world and the emotional responses it evokes. At the same time, the album continues ERRA’s artistic evolution—blending dreamy atmospheres with powerful intensity while still drawing from the band’s roots. Much like life itself, the record exists in a constant state of change, positioned between the past and the future, between endings and new beginnings. In that way, it stands as a deeply human work and a clear representation of what ERRA has always been about.
