Currents – ‘The Way It Ends’

Connecticut bruisers Currents are back with their brand new album ‘The Way It Ends’. Eagerly anticipated after the success of their fierce 2017 debut ‘The Place I Feel Safest’ and the ominous 2018 EP ‘I Let The Devil In’, the new album takes their brand of death-infused

The Ghost Inside – ‘The Ghost Inside’

Five years ago, The Ghost Inside went through hell.
