Currents bring their Rise Records debut to The Depot in March

The Connecticut metalcore band's fourth album lands Feb. 12, and three weeks later they play Salt Lake City with Stick to Your Guns, Vana and Dreamwake.

There's a moment in most Currents sets when the guitars drop out, the drums hang in the air and a room full of people waits for the floor to fall. On Thursday, March 4, 2027, that room is The Depot, and it holds 1,200 people.

Currents announced the Salt Lake City date on Nov. 3. It's a four-band night: Stick to Your Guns, Vana and Dreamwake fill out the bill, and music starts at 6 p.m., which on a Thursday means leaving work a little early if you want to see everyone. Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster, and the show listing has the full details.

The date is billed under the name of the band's new record, and the timing works in the crowd's favor. Blabbermouth reported on Oct. 30 that Currents have signed with Rise Records and will release *Our Fates Lie in Tandem*, their fourth full-length, on Feb. 12. That puts the album out about three weeks before the band rolls into Utah, which is long enough for the new songs to be learned by heart and short enough that they'll still feel new on stage.

It's also their first album in nearly four years. Guitarist Chris Wiseman produced it, with additional production from Ricky Armellino and a mix by Jon Dolese, according to the same report. The first single, "Retributioner," arrived with the announcement, and Metal Injection's write-up lists an eleven-song record that opens with "A Wound That Never Heals" and "On Your Own."

If you came in late, here's the short version. Currents formed in Connecticut in 2011, and vocalist Brian Wille has fronted the band since 2015, according to the band's Wikipedia entry). Their last album, *The Death We Seek*, came out on SharpTone in May 2023: ten tracks in about 40 minutes, co-produced by Wiseman and Ryan Leitru. Wille said at the time that the title track dealt with the weight of our choices and our responsibility for what follows. Critics split on it. Wall of Sound called it a strong pick for modern metalcore fans, and others found it too predictable. The band has spent the gap on the road, including a spring 2026 co-headlining run with ERRA.

Three weeks is long enough to learn the new songs and short enough that they'll still feel new.

The Depot suits this show. A four-band metal bill needs a room big enough to give the pit space to open up, and small enough that the people at the back are still part of it. At 1,200 capacity, this one is both, and with Stick to Your Guns on the same bill, the early-arriving crowd should be about as big as the late one.

Salt Lake has a winter's worth of shows to get through before then, and nobody's planning March yet. This one is worth putting on the calendar now, before the album is out and everyone else catches on: tickets in hand, dinner eaten before six, earplugs in your pocket.
