ERRA’s ‘black cloud’ music video has landed, and it’s another sharp cut from their latest record ‘silence outlives the earth’, which was released on March 6th via UNFD.
Directed by Errick Easterday (Wage War, Sanguisugabogg), the clip leans into the band’s colder, more atmospheric edge, pairing precision with unease.
It’s a fitting visual for a track that sits deeper in the album’s darker corners.
‘black cloud’ taps into ERRA’s heavier instincts
While earlier singles like ‘further eden’ pushed a lighter, more open energy, ‘black cloud’ swings the pendulum back, the track feels denser. That balance has always been ERRA’s strength, technical without feeling sterile, emotional without slipping into cliché. ‘black cloud’ doesn’t chase hooks in the same way. It lingers instead, building tension and letting it hang.
Easterday’s direction mirrors that mood, the visuals don’t overcomplicate things, but they amplify the weight already baked into the track.
ERRA ‘black cloud’ video
A record that keeps revealing new layers
We’ve already seen ERRA stretch their palette across ‘silence outlives the earth’, when the band first announced the album alongside ‘further eden’, they hinted at a broader thematic scope, digging into existence and the human condition.
Guitarist Jesse Cash described that earlier single as a shift in tone, noting its “lighter energy” and deliberate contrast to their usual approach, that contrast is what makes ‘black cloud’ hit harder now. It’s not just heavy for the sake of it, it’s part of a wider push and pull across the record, where moments of clarity are constantly swallowed by something darker.

On the road with Currents
ERRA aren’t slowing down either, the band are currently tearing through a co-headlining US tour with Currents, joined by Caskets and Aviana, all four bands sit in that same space where metalcore keeps mutating into something more expansive.
For Aussie fans, it’s another reminder we’re overdue for a return run.
