History

In January 2013, the debut EP Victimized was released independently with five tracks on it. Two years later, on January 23, 2015, they released the EP Life – Lost, in which Ricky Armellino from This or the Apocalypse appears as a guest musician, was also released independently.

At the beginning of March 2017, the band was signed by the US independent label SharpTone Records.[1] On June 16 of the same year, the band's debut album, The Place I Feel Safest, was released via SharpTone Records.[2] On May 4, 2018 the band released the instrumental version of the album.[3] On December 14, 2018, Currents released their EP entitled I Let the Devil In through SharpTone Records; also included in the EP was the instrumental version of the EP.[4]

On June 5, 2020, Currents released their second album, The Way it Ends through SharpTone Records.[5] The album received positive reviews from critics. Kris Pugh of Distorted Sound Magazine applauded the band, saying: "At a time where there seems to be a new emerging modern metalcore band around every corner, CURRENTS have just gone a long way to making a lot of them feel somewhat irrelevant."[6] On April 20, 2021, the band released the instrumental edition of the album.[7]

On August 31, 2022, Currents released a new single "The Death We Seek".[8]

Music

Currents has been categorized as metalcore and progressive metal, with influences of djent. According to Morten Wenzek of Metal Hammer Germany, the band "copied European djent well", referring to progenitors like Novelists, Emmure and Loathe.[9] Currents incorporate heavy riffs, breakdowns, djent guitars, and melodic rhythms, and singer Brian Wille alternates between clear and screaming vocals.[10][11]
