Currents - Retributioner (Official Music Video)

What comes with Currents' arrival at Rise Records? A new single, an album announcement and a conversation about how melodic the band can get without leaving its identity behind.

The label's two uploads both arrived on Friday: a welcome for Currents, announcing Our Fates Lie in Tandem for February 12, 2027, and "Currents - Retributioner (Official Music Video)". The latter has drawn nearly 98,000 views and is comfortably the busiest of the channel's featured uploads right now.

Directors Errick Easterday and Chris Klumpp alternate the band's spotlight-lit performance with Stephen Rispoli's passage through an abandoned building and woods populated by cloaked figures. A red-armored pursuer gives the narrative its looming threat, while Brian Wille handles the vocals.

The comments offer another way into the release. Listeners discuss the balance between melody and riffs, pick out connections between the artwork and earlier videos, and marvel at guitarist Chris Wiseman's work across both Currents and Shadow of Intent. One describes listening through the band's catalog the night before the single appeared.

Beyond the welcome party, Niis's "Niis - Bad Aim (Official Video)", from the EP Play Niis, continues to gather views at a much gentler pace. The channel added roughly 2.8 million views over the week, with subscribers unchanged; its current daily viewing is below its usual level. Epitaph Records had a larger viewing week among nearby music channels, while Royal Music Gang was quieter. For Rise Records, the week's distinctive addition is a new band with a full-length release already on the calendar.

I will never understand how Chris Wiseman can write bangers for both Currents and Shadow of Intent

One of the greatest guitarists of our era.

The red angel and the yellow angel being on this album’s artwork, the last album’s artwork, and the last ep having the yellow one is really cool. This along with the music video tying in with it only gets darker down here is rlly cool

A sign of greatness is the ability to pivot and create different things at an exceptional level. This is an example.
