Connecticut metalcore band Currents will release its fourth full-length album, “Our Fates Lie in Tandem,” on Feb. 12, 2027, via its new label home, Rise Records. Pre-order the album here, and watch the music video for its first single, “Retributioner,” below.
“There’s some social commentary and a little bit of heartbreak too,” vocalist Brian Wille said of the band’s first LP in nearly four years. “I brought the wall down, so I could be more personal than ever before. Our Fates Lie in Tandem is not heavy for the sake of being heavy either. We agreed a track doesn’t need to be ‘a walking breakdown’ in order to make an impact. So, you’re getting the lows, the highs and everything in between. There’s a reason for each element and meaning behind every word.”
Regarding the first single, the band said: “We’re told that to get anywhere in life you need to abandon your principles and cut through others as they would to you, fostering a sense of war-mindedness regarding those we compete with, debate with and don’t agree with. ‘Retributioner’ seeks to dismantle those ideas, even if it means dismantling the structures and systems perpetuating them.”
Chris Wiseman, Currents’ guitarist and a driving force behind the production of the band’s previous full-length albums, produced “Our Fates Lie in Tandem,” with additional production by Ricky Armellino and mixing by Jon Dolese (Chelsea Grin, Cane Hill).
“Putting this record together has been an intense, multi-year process that has challenged our existing framework of songwriting,” the band said. “We took no shortcuts in building these songs up to be the best and most cohesive of our career. While it wasn’t quick or easy to make this album, watching and participating in this project, from demos to the final masters, has been such a satisfying and cathartic experience.”
