Currents - Living In Tragedy

'THE DEATH WE SEEK' OUT NOW
bfan.link/the-death-we-seek-1
I know that you might try to chase me.
You’ll never know what lies beneath.
One’ll rise, the others fall,
We’ve come to face our grief.
Rotten & vile from the inside out,
Living in tragedy.
One chance to break the elegy,
One shot to clip the wings of catastrophe.
We only wander in our place.
Without a doubt, there’s become a price to pay.
The only martyr with the means.
They'll never speak for me.
When the darkness comes, I beg you don’t follow me.
Pull me out from all I’ve known,
Let it swallow me.
I’m done making my own nightmares.
Yeah,
We have come to wash away the greed.
Blurred lines break down the fabric.
It’s time,
You have no choice to leave.
Hesitation leaves us defenseless.
It’s time, command lines are breaking; with everything I have I will find them.
It’s time, command lines are breaking.
Death is the only answer.
Hate is nothing to a king.
Pierce through the vitals, make them bleed.
Contrition void in violence.
Destruction of the gods.
Victory costs everything.
When the darkness comes, I beg you don’t follow me.
Pull me out from all I’ve known,
Let it swallow me.
I’m done making my own nightmares.
With wings now cut,
We spiral down.
We’re left with nothing and we call this peace.
Please don’t follow me.
I’m done making my own nightmares.
Go.

That intro riff is meaty

[@TheWeekendWarrior762]

Sounds like some 8 string or pitch shift. Def stank face riff.

[@rj_dr]

Stompy as hell, I love it

[@Odd1006]

Gives me Mosaic by of Mice and Men vibes. Or rip and tear

@@TheWeekendWarrior762 I think it's drop E on an 8. Ultimate chonk.

[@someclownontheinternet9398]

If you told me there was a featured vocalist for this song, I’d have believed you. Brian’s range is so unreal it’s fucking nuts.

[@LiamBriggs18]

I saw them open for Polaris a few weeks ago and he sounded just as good live. Absolute menace of a vocalist.

[@Andrew-dd8ez]

Yeah it is and I wish I could do what he does with his voice

[@dualistic6916]

Holy fuck this song is BRUTAL. Brians more death metal-esque screams and growls have gotten so much heavier, on top of his normal metal screams already being meaty af. This goes so hard.

[@Zesksaken]

prettiest chorus i have EVER heard holy FUCKK

[@DavidHeywood-fs5cr]

I don’t get why such little views this album is the best thing I’ve ever heard

[@forevermarked5826]

Best band ever

[@Eskoblazin]

I'll be fair, Fall Out Boy had the same thing happen with Folie A Deux. It is a cult classic. Give it time. I'm JUST discovering this band and started with The Way It Ends. I'm just barely giving this a listen cuz the other is on repeat. Best discovery ever! They push my boundaries with music!

[@noahharper8943]

You know a song is so good and you’ve been waiting so long for it when your first listen has you laughing in excitement during a breakdown or intro riff. I absolutely love the feeling of first listens when the song is so good. I haven’t felt this feeling since make them suffers doomswitch last year and I listen to ALOT of bands

The intro riff I was like dude what the fuckkkkkkkk

[@mylife1221]

the level of sheer vocal perfection in the verse starting at 1:57 still leaves me shaken every time i hear it, and knowing he nails moving from lows all the way up to highs during live shows makes me CRY dude. i need to see this live.

[@DCul]

My dumb ass thought the album dropped on the 12th even though I pre-ordered a The Death We Seek shirt. I sit down to finally give the album a listen and I have to pause the 2nd track for a breather. Not even finished with this song and it's already my favorite Currents song of all time. The heaviness, the bounce of the rhythm and the screams, and then the clean vocals come in and blow me away with the melody. God damn guys! Favorite band of the last few years and you keep pushing the boundaries. Never lose this sound!

[@shaynemeyer4847]

Just heard this beaut live in Chicago and it is the most DIABOLICAL track I've ever heard live. Holy. Shit.

[@John-up3yg]

This song got me out of a pretty damn bad rage moment. Thank you.

[@jacks910]

That absolutely brutal section at about 2 mins in, had me literally freaking out, I was so caught off guard and just kept repeating “Holy f*ck”, lol. I’m excited to listen through the rest of the album. I wish it was a bit longer tbh tho, by adding another ballad/song or two maybe, but I’m sure it will be quality over quantity. A 10 song banger-fest with an “all killer, no filler” kind of attitude, akin to Phinehas’ album in 2021.

[@erikshaw7]

Same!!

[@jacks910]

Haven’t listened to the full album yet, but I relistened to the song, and it brought me so much joy/hype. It’s convinced me that Brian is the best vocalist atm, no doubt. His range and versatility, is ahead of anyone else I can think of.

[@beecee660]

Yeah then he just throws out this at 2:32 that made me go "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" Dude is AMAZING.

[@ralphozer2037]

I hope this shits in next tour

[@infernosdante4557]

Brutal on the ears lol. Sounds like b-sides to the new DOOM soundtracks.

[@sweetschmeat7417]

Currents have one of, if not the most, consistent discographies out of any band I've come across. I really appreciate how they experiment to keep things fresh but still keep a very distinct Currents sound unlike other bands in the scene *cough* Architects *cough*

[@tulia4288]

The scream at 3:18 is out of this world. I don't know if I should hug him or kill it with fire.

[@drowninginmydream8144]

The chorus reminds me of Motionless in White :D Anybody ?

[@ivankostadinov5924]

Same

[@MigIgg]

More like Breaking Benjamin if you ask me

[@jucharvio]

What a moment to be alive.

[@HunterW2021]

Breaking Benjamin type chorus and I’m here for it

[@someclownontheinternet9398]

More MIW-y to me, but everyone calls them metalcore Breaking Benjamin anyway so yeah lol

[@lethybridtheorygolucastheo2191]

To be fair, If you listen to The Death We Seek carefully, the chorus is similar to Diary Of Jane

[@snakeeyes9246]

So glad I can say I'm from the same state as these guys.

[@forevermarked5826]

Let's go!!!!!!! Best band in the game!!!

[@BallisticStigmata]

Completely agree. I’ve been into this genre since my military days with “Stand Up and Scream” Asking Alexandria back in 2011. Currents is my personal ALL TIME. Hard to stay unique in this age but they do it every single time.

[@forevermarked5826]

@@BallisticStigmata absolutely!!!

[@arun09345]

This song shocked everyone, it's absolutely INSANE. It's got everything you want in a Metalcore track. The rage & attitude from this track is one of the many things Currents has, that other bands have failed to hit with me.

[@yetaro_]

I love this new trending of Mick-Gordon-Doom-ish in this new era of Metalcore, it really adds a lot of brutality also the intro reminds me a lot of Artifical Suicide by Bad omens

[@PTS_Solairee]

We need to dub this genre mick coredon

[@11dollabagel-ce2og]

Mick Gordon literally set the bar so high in the metal genre and he did it on a fucking video game. Dude is a mastermind

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

@@11dollabagel-ce2og A number of Video Games, actually. He started his signature sound in Wolfenstein New Order, and refined it to a sharp T in the Doom Reboots and Wolfenstein New Colossus.
