Revolver has teamed with Currents for an exclusive, limited-edition vinyl variant of their new album, The Death We Seek. Order yours now!
Connecticut metalcore group Currents have announced their upcoming third album, The Death We Seek, for a May 5th release via SharpTone. In addition, they've offered up the LP's dynamic lead single, "Remember Me," which is according to singer Brian Wille "a statement to our growing divide between one another." The song arrived today (February 1st) along with a cinematic music video mixing performance clips and narrative footage. Watch and listen above.
"The dark side to technology's double-edged-sword is access to a font of information and public discourse, curated to engagement, and skewed to individual interest and world-view," singer Brian Wille commented of the song. "The further we go in, the further we're separated from the middle ground and impartial truths. Over the course of the Internet's existence and the rise of social media empires, we're beginning to fracture our relationships with one another over anything we can fight about, even going as far as to relish in the chaos and division. You can see the exact same event and come out with instant, infinite perspectives across the ideological spectrum; painted on a mass public forum accessible to billions of people. Driven further by algorithms and advertising, poison can spread quickly and have lasting outcomes on how we see each other and the world around us."
He continued, "While disagreement and debate are not new, nor the real enemy here, we've all felt a particular strain to our closest ties over the last three years. This song is the release of that frustration and loss, and a call to find what brings us together and work through what set us apart. Whether it's a personal issue or an ideological impasse, we can all do better to practice empathy, understanding, and trust in those around us; that's the only way we can collectively see through what's real, and what's interest-driven spectacle."
