A brand new studio album from Currents titled “Our Fates Lie In Tandem” has just been slated for a February 12th release date via their new label home at Rise Records. The metalcore band had their own guitarist Chris Wiseman oversee production duties, with Ricky Armellino of Ice Nine Kills assisting. The song “Retributioner” kicks off the promotional campaign for that record, sporting a music video co-directed by Chris Klumpp (Gideon, 156/Silence) and Erick Easterday (Wage War, ERRA).
Sharing some insight on where their heads were at with this album, vocalist Brian Wille shared:

As for signing with Rise, they went on to say:
“The legacy of Rise is unmatched. The impact of their work has been felt by all of us for as long as we’ve loved music. We’re so excited to work with them on this new era of our band.”
“Retributioner” also got a closer look from the band as well, who noted that the song is about, “how our world smothers the righteous.” The group went on to share:
“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.”
As for the record as a whole and the road took to make it, they offered:
“Putting this record together has been an intense, multi-year process that has challenged our existing framework of songwriting. 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.”
