Currents

A fusion of progressive metal and blackened intensity—weaving intricate melodies, crushing riffs, and atmospheric depth into an album that feels both expansive and relentless

Since “Solemn” will likely be near the top of my year end list, I decided to give “Currents” a listen.

It’s a very solid album. In Vain nails the clean vocals, and the brass that’s added in ever so generously pays dividends. It has less jaw-dropping moments, but it’s still a great record.
