Currents from Connecticut formerly known as We Came As Plague, in 2009 they reformed as Currents and added Patrizio Arpaia on vocals to bring the band full circle. The band is described as having earth-shattering vocals, monstrous breakdowns and melodic riffs while encompassing that Connecticut groove. Currents is full of technicality, from striking the perfect balance of songs that make you head bang to beautifully crafted melodies.
Sometimes time is the missing ingredient needed in order for an idea to come to fruition. Such is the case with rising metalcore/djent band Currents, who after forming in 2011 spent the next few years discovering their identity and evolving into the thriving band they are today. After a change in vocalist in 2015, adding Brian Wille to the group, Jeff Brown (drums), Chris Wiseman (guitar), Ryan Castaldi (guitar) and Dee Cronkite (bass) solidified their lineup with members who shared a common current of energy that moved through one another towards the same vision.
That vision will come to light on the band's debut album due out this summer. Speaking of the forthcoming record, Brown says "it's definitely dark lyrically. Although some of the leads and drums might make it more upbeat. Over all the album is about Brian's thoughts and fighting his demons. We left all the vocals up to him so he could have full creative control. It turned out awesome and we are super proud of it. The instruments came together over 2 years of writing. We went into the studio with over 50 songs and ideas and left with 13 songs we believed were our best work."
The upcoming record will mark Currents' debut, full-length album, following two previous EPs with their former vocalist. The release also finds them partnering with their new label, SharpTone Records, which is home to contemporaries like Atilla, Emmure, Miss May I, We Came As Romans and While She Sleeps among others.

Currents Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running out of answers
I'm already out of rhymes
Water is filling up my lungs
Can't afford these problems
I've got nowhere to run
Help me and figure out the words
I can't even, I can't write this verse
Nothing's gonna go my way
Nothing at all
And I know nothing's gonna ever change
Nothing's gonna change today
Nothing at all
Help me I'm running out of options
I've got nothing to choose
I'm losing my mind so I've got nothing to lose
I'm seeing double vision
I can't even, I can't feel my hands
And I know nothing's gonna be the same
Nothing's gonna go my way
Nothing at all
And I know nothing's gonna ever change
Nothings gonna change today
Nothing at all
Nothing's gonna be the same
Nothing's gonna go my way
Nothing at all
And I know nothing's gonna ever change
Nothing's gonna change today
Nothing at all
In the song "Euphoria" by Currents, the lyrics describe a sense of desperation and frustration. The singer feels overwhelmed and is seeking help because they feel like time is running out and they are running out of solutions for their problems. The line "Running out of answers, I'm already out of rhymes" suggests that the singer feels unable to find solutions or express their feelings effectively.
The line "Water is filling up my lungs, can't afford these problems, I've got nowhere to run" creates a vivid image of suffocation and being trapped in a difficult situation. The singer feels overwhelmed by their problems and has no escape. The repetition of "Help me" emphasizes their plea for assistance and indicates their desperation.
The lyrics also express a sense of hopelessness and resignation. The singer acknowledges that nothing is going to go their way or change anytime soon. The repetition of "Nothing at all" reinforces the feeling of despair and powerlessness. It seems that the singer has reached a point where they can't see any positive outcome or resolution to their struggles.
The second verse continues the theme of feeling trapped and having no choices. The singer feels like they are losing their sanity and have nothing to lose anymore. The line "I'm seeing double vision, I can't even, I can't feel my hands" suggests a state of disorientation and detachment from reality. This could symbolize a loss of control or feeling detached from one's own emotions and actions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Euphoria" reflect a deep sense of distress and hopelessness. The singer is reaching out for help and recognizes that their situation is unlikely to change. The song captures the emotional struggle of feeling overwhelmed and trapped in one's problems, expressing a desire for things to be different but also a sense of resignation to their circumstances.

Euphoria
I can't explain what all of this means to me
The sound, the feel as it vibrates everything
I'm getting lost in my mind swinging back and forth to something I can't describe
It consumes my life and I won't let it go
It is everything between you and me
There's nothing that can take it away
As I close my eyes and begin to dream
Letting the melody take me away, it's going to take me away
I lose myself to the sound of every note lifting me from the ground
I am free, and no one can take that away from me. [x2]
It consumes my life and I won't let it go
It is everything between you and me
There's nothing that can take it away
As I close my eyes and begin to dream
I can feel it. It just takes me away
Something I live for, I let it dwell in me
I can't explain what all of this means to me
The sound, the feel as it vibrates everything
I'm getting lost in my mind swinging back and forth to something I can't describe
It consumes my life and I won't let it go
It is everything between you and me
There's nothing that can take it away
As I close my eyes and begin to dream
It is all I see between you and me
It takes me away and sweeps me off my feet
To a place where I know, that I am home
I am free

Everything about this EP is perfect.
Brandon Muterspaugh
This band needs more recognition!
Bryan Lenihan
Brandon Muterspaugh Oh they are getting it this was the last music with this vocalist their new one Brian is honestly one of the most versatile vocalists I've ever heard
LevelZero -Latte-
Listened to the EP, and this is about the sickest song on it. Thank you for introducing me to this, the screaming is methodical and fits well to the music. The music is incredible in style, it screams a lot of modern progressive/black metal to me (which definitely hits me in the right spot). The singing as well does not feel out of place for this band's harsh vocals and everything just seamlessly comes together. Good job guys.

They really went in a different direction since the last album. Seem like things got a little more progressive and melodic on this album. Even though they changing up, still love it!
