Prolific metalcore progressives ERRA recently announced their new album CURE, whicharrives on April 5 via UNFD. Pre-order it here.
Today, the band has shared the visualizer for “Crawl Backwards Out of Heaven.” Watch it here.
The visualizer captors the raw, explosive, and forward-thinking intensity of the song, which doesn’t let up from the first note.
CURE is the band’s sixth album and it highlights and expands on the forward-thinking sound and guitar-driven style that the band has built its reputation on. Following 2021’s self-titled release, CURE is a stunning execution of both raw talent and surgical technicality. It’s as emotional powerful as it is musically proficient, which is not an easy feat to achieve. Yet ERRA make it look and sound easy. CURE is a sonic thrill ride — one that you hope will never end.
Additionally, the band has announced its upcoming Spring 2024 headline North American tour, with Make Them Suffer, Void of Vision, and Novelists as support. The tour kicks off on April 23 in Philly and runs through June 2 in NYC. All dates are below, with several major markets already sold out. Get tickets here.

ABOUT ERRA:
ERRA‘s sixth album, CURE, strengthens and deepens the forward-thinking progressive metalcore they built their reputation on. It’s an album full of atmospheric ecstasy and moody groove on the heels of their stunning 2021 self-titled set. CURE charts an ambitious course for ERRA’s next era.
Fueled by creative muses akin to Tool, Deftones, and Gojira, ERRA’s body of work stands beside the best of the genre, with celebrated songs beloved by fans of contemporaries like Sleep Token and Spiritbox. A mathematic pummel akin to Meshuggah remains, but ERRA is decidedly in its own lane.
ERRA regularly appears on tastemaker playlists like Kickass Metal on Spotify. While several heavy bands are known to mine the rich potential of the juxtaposition between screaming and singing, the ever-opinionated Metal Sucks pointed out that “perhaps no band is doing this better than ERRA.” Alternative Nation chose ERRA to represent Alabama in a list of The Best Metal Bands in Each State.
Titanic riffs and enchanting melodies litter the cerebral, immersive soundscapes powering each of their progressive metal albums. They’ve toured extensively, with bands including Bad Omens, TesseracT, Ice Nine Kills, Dance Gavin Dance, August Burns Red, and Northlane.
A pair of self-released EPs lead to a label deal for their debut album, 2011’s Impulse. ERRA’s sophomore set, Augment, was No. 1 on Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart in 2013. Drift gave ERRA another Heatseekers No. 1 in 2016. The streak continued with Neon in 2018. ERRA (2021) garnered praise from critics and fans. CURE remains anchored in the progressive and technical style ERRA helped shape. It boasts a brilliant combination of creative energy and expansive accessibility.
ERRA is part mind-altering substance, part meditation, reveling in each musical moment of exultation. As a band of brothers and a creative force, ERRA strives to live in alignment with the present moment. As their music finds the balance between the crushingly heavy and the headily melodic, its members seek to find harmony between the needs of the individual and the natural flow of this shared reality.
