Currents & Erra Ignite a Sold-Out Detroit Crowd at Saint Andrew’s Hall
Metalcore bands Currents and Erra brought their coheadlining tour to a sold-out crowd at Saint Andrew’s Hall in Detroit on Friday March 27. Along with them they brought bands Caskets and Aviana as support, who were both wonderful choices. Fans were tightly packed in the historic venue, but that didn’t stop anyone from jumping, moshing and crowdsurfing. There was never a dull moment with this lineup of bands. The energy was persistent throughout the night while each band brought their own style of metal to the stage.
Erra showcased their raw intensity from the moment they stepped on stage. About half of their setlist were songs from their new album silence outlives the earth that was released earlier this month. Opening with “gore of being,” they quickly launched into “Eye of God” before transitioning into “cicada storm,” setting a powerful tone that carried throughout the entire set. Frontman J.T. Cavey was a commanding presence, lighting up the stage with his intense vocal range.
Currents delivered a dynamic and tight performance that raised the bar even further. They treated fans to material from their latest EP, All That Follows, performing all five tracks. Other songs sprinkled through the setlist were “Let Me Leave,” “Apnea,” and “Into Despair.” The front row of the crowd was completely transformed by their spectacle of a performance. Fans were screaming back every lyric, matching the band’s intensity. Their connection with the audience was undeniable.
This is an entertaining tour that is full of must-see bands for any metalcore fans. Each set moved seamlessly into the next, keeping the crowd in awe from beginning to end. The tour runs until the middle of April and you can get your tickets here: https://errastore.com/pages/tour-2
