Artist Biography
Available in:

1. Currents is an American metalcore band formed in Newtown, Connecticut in 2011 by former drummer Jeff Brown. After numerous line-up changes, they consist of singer Brian Wille, guitarists Ryan Castaldi and Chris Wiseman, bassist and backing vocalist Christian Pulgarin, and drummer Matt Young. Since 2018, no original members remain with the band.

The band formed as We Came As Plague in 2009. They reformed as Currents and added Patrizio Arpaia on vocals to bring the band full circle.

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, which was also released independently.

At the beginning of March 2017, the band was signed by the US independent label SharpTone Records. On June 16 of the same year, the band's debut album, The Place I Feel Safest, was released via SharpTone Records. On May 4, 2018 the band released the instrumental version of the album. 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.

On June 5, 2020, Currents released their second album, The Way it Ends through SharpTone Records. 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." On April 20, 2021, the band released the instrumental edition of the album.

On August 31, 2022, Currents released a new single "The Death We Seek". Through the late Summer of 2022, the band joined Miss May I on a North American tour with Kingdom of Giants and LANDMVRKS. On November 25, 2022, the band released another new single "Vengeance". On February 1, 2023, Currents released the third single "Remember Me", along with the announcement of their third album "The Death We Seek", to be released on May 5, 2023 via SharpTone Records. On March 29, the band released the album's fourth single "So Alone". Simultaneous with the album's release, the band released a new music video for "Unfamiliar".

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 and Loathe. Currents incorporate heavy riffs, breakdowns, djent guitars, and melodic rhythms, and singer Brian Wille alternates between clear and screaming vocals.

2. Currents was a Christian hardcore band based in Houston, Texas. The band was formed in late 2011 and consisted of vocalist Clayton Douds, guitarists Spencer Rose and Will Chapman, and drummer Blake Price. In January 2012, they released their debut EP "The King" via Bandcamp. After this release, Currents worked on playing shows in and out of Houston and ended up signing to Red Cord Records. The band released their debut album "Spirit and Truth" under Red Cord records on November 13th 2012.

3. Currents was a Swedish indie rock band signed to Airwaves. The band played a blend of guitar rock, punk, jazz, classical, beat- and whitmanesque-style poetry. Their vocalist was Christian Sommer.

4. Currents was a band from Long Beach California. Mario Fabregas was their drummer. They have been on hiatus since 2009.
