Currents - Poverty of Self (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

#Currents #PovertyofSelf
Pre-Order 'The Way It Ends' available - June 5th

The broken suffer
Brought to their knees.
The guilty prosper
consumed by greed.
A vicious cycle
Stuck on repeat;
The innocent stripped of humanity.
You build your walls to keep us in; Imprisoned in our apathy.
You live a life of selfishness
While we carry the dead weight.
Corruption
Endless division fueled by fear. Destruction
The end is drawing near.
The broken suffer
Brought to their knees.
The guilty prosper
consumed by greed.
A vicious cycle
Stuck on repeat.
The innocent stripped of humanity.

The classes separate
Watching as the guillotine swings
Crippled with no recourse, They begin to take the lead. Ushering an age of dynasties We are never free.
This is hell. This is hell. Poverty of Self.
You build your walls to keep us in; Imprisoned in our apathy
You live a life of selfishness
While we carry the dead weight.
Corruption
Endless division fueled by fear. Destruction
The end is drawing near.
Poverty of Self.

That intro wastes no time to smash you right in the face, love it.

[MKvDubbin]

I like the part where the guitar goes “SHUNG BUNG chackawheat!”

[nickczarnickcovers]

Every rock/metal band in 2020: lets try to incorporate some pop so we can get radio time Currents: let’s incorporate some deathcore to melt ppls faces

[carteradelman]

Metalcore as a whole this year has been insane. The whole genre is gaining so much momentum

[Windulin]

His vocals become more heavy with each new song

[MetalBreakdown]

Currents never disappoint, heavy af!!!!

[str]

Currents and Loathe at the same time, sharptone is spoiling us

[kazukihiratani]

Brian has the best sounding lows in the game alongside Kadeem from Loathe and Garrett from Silent Planet.

[patriotstreammedia]

The lyrics perfectly describe reality as a whole for the human species on planet earth as we move forward into 2020. High quality material here folks, some of the best out there for sure. 2019 has been an incredible year for metal music.

[benjaminreiter]

This is insanely heavy and I couldn’t be happier

[xxjoStaxx]

Ahhh, that breakdown that starts around 1:24 and that "the classes separate, watching as the guillotine swings" low end growl Brian does gives me fucking chills every time. I think they're even better live. I love that Brian's vocals on the albums isn't over produced and tweaked, cuz it's a Perfect voice for their Metalcore/Djent type music as it is, and then hearing them live, when he belts out those low death metal growls, he sounds even better, it's amazing how much better he's gotten within what, 3-4 years? The whole band, actually. One of my favorite bands, and I can't wait for their new album to drop! Wish they were bringing the Trilogy 2020 Tour to Pittsburgh, So Badly 😫 Currents, Invent Animate, Silent that's a killer tour to put together, I'd go apeshit if I got to see one of those shows live 🤘🏻 Currents, you guys fucking rule.

This band doesn't get enough main crowd mentions. Super good, better than bands more popular.

[TheodoreKWong]

A perfect example why I love their music. I can barely wait to see them here in London tomorrow.

[orgon]

Years later and this song is still so addicting

[Joseph-tkw]

This songs meaning resonates even more now in 2025. This needs to be the anthem for the next revolution!

[DrewPSachs]

It's crazy how fucking incredible this band is. I've been saying it forever now but I'll keep saying it- Currents is the best band in the scene right now. They're pretty much the only metalcore (if you wanna pick a genre) band that's constantly keeping things fresh and interesting. Fuck I'm hyped

[cgobm]

Those lows... holy fuck. Actually speechless. How’re you going to be a metalcore band with lows like that? That’s just brutal.

[dylantallman]

Y'all just went straight deathcore at 1:30, holy shit!
edit: Oh my goodness, that absolutely *brutal* outro!

[inSprayy]

Immediately you can hear Nolly's touch in the mix. Love this band and their sound

[aspected]

I would donate my organs to this band just to watch them live again.
