Erra - Cure (April 5th, 2024) • Page 8

I would not say SIlent Planet and Erra are really all that close besides both being laballed metalcore. Erra has all the modern production stylings of metalcore, but an 'old school' screamo feel with the high pitched choruse's amongst the heavier verses. Early silent planet was more akin to a metalcore La dispute with very poetic, story telling lyrics and more of an anguished type of vocal style than full on screams like they do now (though Garrett always has had beastly lows). They have gone industrial lately, but it's not what they're known for at their roots.

I do like the new Erra songs but I'm not their biggest fan overall. I much prefer Jesse in Ghost Atlas. Gaps in the Armoire is one of my favorite songs of recent years.

 

I think Silent Planet might be my number 2 metalcore band just because of how nice all of them are. Garrett might as well be IRL Superman.

 

I've always loved Silent Planet's ability to put humanity and ethics first in their music, and I will always respect them for that. That said I do think Erra makes more captivating music nowadays

 

Silent Planet only uses 6 string guitars, but ERRA uses 7 strings. So they're at least one string better than Silent Planet.

 

Mister ArmsLikeTeeth have you ever heard of a man named Stephen Carpenter

 

Steph loses points because of how dumb he is. Love his playing, love Deftones but the man is stupid. Thankfully he's harmless since I'm sure we've all seen people get into the stuff he's into and come out insanely hateful.

 

ngl i kinda think silent planet and erra have sounded more like each other recently than not but i think thats more because dan braunstein is producing both of them and i think he kind of threads a lot of similar aesthetics through all of his bands, plus erra have definitely gotten groovier in the last few years

also dan has absolutely killed it this decade between this band, silent planet, spiritbox and invent animate, which is exciting to see as a big volumes fan (who he has also been killing it with bring on that new album pls). dude has become like the djent adam d
