Currents + Erra

Presented by Veryshow Productions (2-998286/3-008497)

Currents never compromise their artistic or philosophical integrity. The Connecticut band—Brian Wille (vocals), Chris Wiseman (guitar), Ryan Castaldi (guitar), Matt Young (drums), and Christian Pulgarin (bass)—masters chaos by pairing innovation with intensity, pushing the boundaries of modern metal. Their 2025 EP, All That Follows, exemplifies this evolution. Shattering expectations, they explore new territory while staying true to their identity. "We've always made our own decisions and believed in the people who support us," says Brian. "It's rewarding to see that our music is anticipated."

Since 2011, Currents has released several critically acclaimed albums, including The Place I Feel Safest (2017), I Let The Devil In (2018), The Way It Ends (2020), and The Death We Seek (2023). Known for their intensity and modern edge, they have shared stages with major acts. All That Follows came together while on tour, produced with Ryan Leitru and co-produced by Brian and Chris. "We put together our strongest tracks for this EP," adds Brian. Currents launched this new era with "It Only Gets Darker" (1.9 million streams on Spotify). Standout tracks "My Severance" and "Making Circles" showcase their sense of contrast and raw emotion. Brian tackles themes of exploitation and rejecting institutions, calling for collective resistance. "Making Circles" explores loss and searching for direction, while "Can't Turn Back" channels betrayal and rage. "It's a song about betrayal," sighs Brian, aimed at those who think they're invincible. Closing track "Rise & Fall" wraps up with existential questions and fierce energy. Brian wonders about the future: "How is all this going to end? There's only the rise and the fall." Currents keeps pushing forward without slowing down. "I express my negative feelings through music, but what comes out at our shows is joy and a healthy outlet for everyone."

Catch them with Erra, Caskets, and Aviana on November 17 at Le Bataclan!
