Currents, ERRA

Currents is the new standard for death-infused metalcore. This is emotionally fraught and impossibly angry music soaked in cold, depressive atmosphere. Currents explore the forbidden realms of a tortured psyche, searching for meaning amidst uncertain chaos and venom.

ERRA is a five-piece progressive metalcore band hailing from Birmingham, Alabama that formed in 2009. They take their influences from well respected groups like Misery Signals, Born of Osiris, As I Lay Dying and Saosin, and thrive on being creative and showcasing their talent through their intense live performances.

Caskets (formerly Captives) are embracing vulnerability. Having established an intricate blend of melody and riffs on their introductory ‘Ghost Like You’ EP, the Leeds based five-piece are now looking inward at the lessons they wish to impart. “Break these chains”, vocalist Matt Flood repeatedly sings on album opener ‘The Only Ones’, testament to the freedom gained from their willingness to open up and be heard.

This confident message unfolds around his dynamic vocals, honed through a range of previous musical endeavours, and perfectly complimenting the band’s mastery of heavy and soft. It’s dominated by the band’s forward-thinking attitude, with Caskets set to further reinvent expectations of metalcore and post-hardcore.

Swedish Metalcore act Aviana are back in 2021 with frontman Joel Holmqvist introducing a new era of the band since the release of 'Epicenter' in 2019. Recent releases via German label Arising Empire in 'Rage', 'Oblivion' and 'Retaliation' has all the elements you look for in a modern Metal band.

After touring UK, EU and Asia with bands like Crystal Lake, Adept, The Word Alive, Make Them Suffer and more, Joel proves that Aviana is among the top of the scene and that we can expect further great things coming our way in the near future.
