ERRA headline Detroit’s Saint Andrew’s Hall

May 31

ERRA wrapped up yet another sold out show in Detroit; on this tour the American metalcore band brought along three bands from overseas to join them. Opener Novelists coming all the way from France, followed by two Australian metalcore bands Void of vision from Perth and Make Them Suffer from Melbourne.

With only four shows left on the North American CURE tour, the bands showed zero signs of slowing down and brought nothing but energy during their sets. Novelists opened with "Lost Cause" leading into "Terrorist," both from their 2022 album Déjà Vu, then right into their recently released singles featuring new vocalist Camille Contreras.

Void of Vision was second on stage and started with their latest single "Empty," which seemed to be the right move because we already had crowd surfers making their way to the front. Throughout their whole set there was a consistent flow of crowd surfing, which shows just how much energy was brought to the show already with only two bands having played so far.

Make Them Suffer was up next and you could feel the anticipation in the room waiting for the first note to be played. As soon as the crowd heard the start of "Ghost of Me" there was nonstop movement - lead vocalist Sean Harmanis may have been the most energetic person in the venue, constantly moving on stage and high-fiving the crowd surfers was really getting everyone geared up for ERRA.

It was finally time for ERRA to come on stage, and the crowd was already cheering for them. With four bands on this tour, ERRA did not shorten their set at all! The band opened with the title track of their recently released album, "Cure," before leading into an impressive set that stretched across their entire discography, which including some old songs ("White Noise" from their 2011 album Impulse and “Dementia” from acclaimed album Augment) as well as many tracks from Cure. The band members are exceptional performers, from vocalist/guitarist Jesse Cash’s multiple spins while playing the guitar leads of “Glimpse,” to frontman JT Cavey’s off-mic screams to start the breakdown of “Blue Reverie” which was met with cheers from the crowd. The band finally closed out their 14-song set with an encore of fan favorite "Skyline" from their album Drift.
