Idobi Radio Premiere TrapRock ERA 9 First Single ‘Warrior’; New Album ‘Gravity’ Due Out May 5th
Drawing from the future rather than the past, ERA 9 merge Rock, Metal, Hip-Hop and Electronic Dance Music to create their own unique sonic architecture, which they dub “TrapRock”, describing it as ‘revolutionary, unparalleled, eclectic, melodic and heavy’.
“When we formed it was like an undeniable force; a magnetic field that surrounded our individual selves; that when we got close enough to each other, there was no ignoring the fact that our mutual passion for music, performing and writing would become a true reality if we stuck together. We’re open-minded and appreciative of all genres of music. The idea of ‘TrapRock’ was created by this admiration of different musical styles.” says guitarist Jona Dhe Paganon.
Working together as a collective, their dedication and professionalism has lead this Montreal, QC based band previous line up to tour the US with Trapt, Pop Evil, Drowning Pool, Gemini Syndrome and Saving Abel, along with being nodded as opening support for Hed PE, POD, From Ashes To New, Saliva, Filter, Gilby Clarke, Sebastian Bach, Hoobastank, Art Of Dying and The Veer Union, also performing at the 100th Grey Cup Festival w/ Sam Robert’s Band and Treble Charger.
ERA 9’s next full length album ‘Gravity’ is a musical portrayal of the risks they took, ignoring genre formats and flipping the world of music as we know it. In contrast to their earlier sound, this new line up has given them the creative freedom for eclectic songwriting, inspiring them to think outside the box.

We’ve been releasing music since 2011 and toured across the US, supporting really great bands, and now we truly feel that over the years, we have come into our own with this next opus for fans. We believe that we’re in a new era of music that isn’t limited to one style of listener. We cater to all who open themselves to it! We value creative freedom in music and we promote open-mindedness and imagination.” Adds male vocalist Anthony Lalla.
