Co-headliners ERRA and Currents brought a stacked lineup to the House of Blues Anaheim on Saturday, April 11 heading into the final week of the Silence Follows tour. The tour is supporting ERRA’s latest release silence outlives the earth and Currents’ latest EP All That Follows.

The Swedish progressive metalcore band Aviana opened the set in a big way. Vocalist Joel Holmqvist and Fear, Death, and Dark, the masked collective behind the music, put on a headline-worthy show. The big production lights and LED backdrop added to the main-event energy. The latest album Void is out now on Arising Empire.

With an even bigger production, British band Caskets was up next. There were no masked musicians, but they made use of the backdrop to display album art from their latest release The Only Heaven You’ll Know. The album is out now on SharpTone. The band will perform at Inkarceration in Ohio this summer and Louder than Life in the fall.

Caskets labelmates Currents were up next. It was easy to see how this show sold out so quickly with such strong openers, and Caskets as only one of two headliners. If the crowd wasn’t already expecting ERRA, the show could have ended here, and the crowd would have left satisfied. Currents are ready for the arenas. The band will play the international festival circuit before returning for Louder than Life in September.

Closing out this stop was ERRA. It’s hard to believe they were playing the Echoplex on the Cure album cycle. The band gets bigger and better, but they still have an accessible feel. They pull off musical precision without pretension. The only complaint about a show with this many powerhouse bands is there’s only an hour for each co-headliner and a half-hour for the support bands. ERRA will also be at Louder than Life. Until then, the new album is out on UNFD now.
