Augment

ERRA’s 2013 sophomore full-length Augment stands among the pioneering albums for the modern melodic tech-metal genre. Within its 52 minutes, Augment manages to bend the usual confines of heavy music to their whims—from gnarled, low-end chugging guitars to the addition of subtle atmospheric programming that gently ease and elevate the metal onslaught with its stark juxtaposition. Now, after 8 years, Tragic Hero Records is celebrating the album with a double vinyl LP repress of the album, limited to 500 units. Acclaim for Augment: “Heavy, off-and-on-again tempo chugging, melodic vocals, airy synths, and endorphin raising riffs provide a phenomenal listen.“ —PunkNews.Org “Augment manages to cram in enough complicated breakdown rhythms to keep what will no doubt be an ever- growing fanbase sated...More please.”—Rock Sound Magazine “These guys have managed to create a unique sound in a genre overflowing with mediocrity.”—Under The Gun Review
