CURRENTS — https://currentsofficial.com — Currents headline this run as a band that has steadily worked its way into the upper tier of modern metalcore by tightening their sound rather than chasing trends. Critics tend to place them in the heavier, groove-driven end of contemporary metalcore, with clear djent influence and a focus on emotional weight that feels lived-in rather than theatrical. Their most recent EP, All That Follows, builds directly on the darker, more disciplined direction they established with The Death We Seek, refining their dynamics without sanding off the aggression that defines their live shows. The Silence Follows Tour 2026 brings them to The Ritz in Raleigh on March 7, 2026, part of a broader North American run that reflects the band’s current position—large clubs, committed audiences, and no need to oversell the moment.

ERRA — https://errastore.com — ERRA share top billing here, and it makes sense: few bands in modern metalcore balance technical precision and accessibility as consistently as they do. Often described by critics as progressive metalcore with strong melodic instincts, ERRA’s writing leans into complexity without letting it overwhelm the songs themselves. Their 2024 release CURE marked a shift toward a more streamlined, direct sound while keeping the layered guitar work and rhythmic detail that longtime listeners expect. Newer material continues that trajectory, emphasizing structure and clarity over excess. On this tour, ERRA aren’t presented as a contrast to Currents, but as a parallel—different approach, same level of control, same understanding of how to command a room.

CASKETS — https://www.casketsofficial.com — Caskets arrive as support, but their placement on this bill speaks to how critics frame their sound: modern post-hardcore that prioritizes melody and atmosphere without abandoning weight. Their latest album, The Only Heaven You’ll Know, leans heavily into clean vocal hooks and polished production, sitting comfortably in the space between emotional rock and contemporary heavy music. They’ve built a reputation for performances that translate well in mixed bills, where their songs land quickly and stay with people who may not have come in as fans. On a tour like this, Caskets function less as a change of pace and more as a widening of the emotional range for the night.

AVIANA — https://avianaofficial.com — Aviana open the evening with a sound critics typically describe as stark, modern, and uncompromising, rooted in European metalcore and shaped by djent-era heaviness. Their most recent full-length, VOID, is dense and deliberate, favoring tension and atmosphere over immediacy, and it reflects the band’s commitment to weight and restraint rather than crowd-pleasing shortcuts. As an opener, Aviana set the tone early, establishing the intensity level the rest of the lineup builds on. Their inclusion on this tour feels intentional: no stylistic mismatch, no easing in—just a clear signal of what kind of night this is going to be.
