Erra “Pale Iris” | Aussie Metal Heads Reaction 

I'll take two of the "hey baby, I'm so cool" shirts

Jesse is such a good metal composer. It’s unreal.

JT has really come into his own as a vocalist. Adds more dimension to his chops. I think that was my only gripe on Neon, the single tone scream.

ERRA is just the best band out there right now… and there’s some great ones

Fuckin loved this! ERRA is the best band right now in my opinion. This song blew me away!

ERRA NEVER MISSES

This band doesn't miss. Great stuff as usual.

That is what clean vocals should sound like. Some of the best I've heard in awhile. Banger status achieved!

Certified Gold Banger! This will send me down the ERRA rabbit hole! Thanks boys

As an actual pale iris with that actual nickname it's like hell yes erra scream it at me baby girl 👁👄👁

I'm so glad I got into metal around this time period, so like 2021. It's got the heavies, the breakdowns, the riffs and stuff. But what really solidified it for me are those elements I find in a lotta pop music. The cleans, the ethereal tones, and some electronic elements too. Point is, modern metal is that perfect blend of heavy and calm that makes for the best songs of all time.

"Mixed by Adam “Nolly” Getgood" Love it

Totally agree, they can't make bad songs right now! Stoked for the eventual album that this will be on

I'm trying to get into Erra, and this may just be the breakthrough song I needed. Perfect timing too, as I'll be seeing them next month with Bad Omens.

“Tickled my jibblets” is my new go-to and an accurate description of how I felt listening to this as well.

It is the best song of the year, ERRA always leaves the listener satisfied. 100/10 I love them so much

Straight to the top of my bangers playlist. JT might be my favorite harsh vocalist right now. Between the last 2 singles from ERRA and the single from Texas in July, i can’t get enough. Dude is crushing it.

Erra doesn't miss.

Agree that the way they're using the two vocals is a great progression from the last album.

Super cool. Saw them a few months back with Invent Animate, Silent Planet and Sentinels. This tune is great. BUT this stuff has got to a point where it could be any of the bands I just mentioned above.

This sounds beautiful in my earholes

This broke the streak of at least 2 months where I had no idea who any of the bands you reacted to were.

I get a huge Protest the hero vibe from the main guitar riff.

This was my first time hearing ERRA. Not sure why, but this was rather enjoyable! Next up, “Nigh of Silence.”

Loved it! I felt like the difference between their last record and this new song is that it sounded more cohesive sonically (idk if that makes sense, I know nothing about the technicalities of music lol) and also less progressive sounding. Definitely has big replay value.

Great review as always gents.

"should we make hey baby I'm so co--" *slams dollarydoos violently on the merch store* I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK

Need to put that saying over a pic of Johnny (texty boy) emo pic

makes me think of their 'drift' or 'neon' era a little.

I think overall I'm pretty happy with the tune....the vocals were very well done with J.T and Jesse alternating and backing one another...guitars were very well thought out...THE ONLY THING I WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY is in the bridge they used when they had the slowed down lighter verse...they came back with a powerful Scream from J.T and the drums stayed in the exact same rhythm they had used previously in other versus...I would have been double kicking the hell out of those foot pedals for half if not the entire bridge...if you want to support J.T's screaming back into a hardened bridge, match his vocals with powerful double bassed 16th or 32nds timing wise....it would have made so much more powerful its almost crazy...otherwise I'm sold...im waiting for a new album...c'mon guys it's been a hot minute! 🔥

I liked the song so much I already did a guitar cover 🤷🏼‍♂️

I wish the lead guitar was just a litttttttle bit louder, bit otherwise theae boys SMASHED it 🔥🤟

Heard you legends on Triple J last night, blasting Limp Bizkit haha yeww.

Sleep token shirt ❤

Please make "Hey baby, I'm so cool" shirts PLEASE!!!!

Ngl Johnny's eyes freak me out lol

Mustard 🤟🏼

What model of JBL headphones are you both using?

You guys need to check out both of the new TesseracT singles; they're a hell of a ride.

Metal album of the year- deftones better hold offf.

I think Erra got way to comfortable with their sound so in past few years when they been hyped by RU-vidbut it didn't progressed since now imo. I was exited to see them live on tour with invent animate and silent Planet, but Invent Animate even was opening band, had that energy and sound that Erra wasn't able to push it when they performed, the performance of invent animate was better then headlining of Erra. And that's a Shane 😅. Erra was the band that was innovative on progressive guitar playing as taping and including very technical tones mixing but I think they sat way to long on this sound. In concert was about to leave cuz for me all songs sounded pretty similar and got bored, I was about to leave in the middle of their performance. Yeah it's big hype on single realize but live their songs are not standing out fmo.

Get on new Static Dress!

The only criticism I have about this song is Jesse’s vocals seem WAY over processed, and it sounds kinda lame. But that’s their choice obviously, just think it would sound better a little more raw.
