Sheer atrocities are right around the corner. Combining the most violent extremities of hardcore, sludge and black metal, THIS GIFT IS A CURSE have a created a truly unique, visceral sound – one that they will be exploring further on their newest album HEIR.
On the lead single, Kingdom, THIS GIFT IS A CURSE explores a new sonic palette by working together with Laura Morgan of electro/industrial project Livmødr.
HEIR is out March 7th on Season of Mist.

Their new video sets an appropriately grim scene for the return of THIS GIFT IS A CURSE. After all, a decrepit, god forsaken cabin in the woods looks awfully picturesque when framed against this band’s unholy seance. Hammering blast beats and a swarm of needling tremolo picks tear through the gates of “Kingdom” like the hounds of hell.

“I have made a secret door into your eyes“, a possessed Jonas Holmberg chants alongside Livmødr’s bewitching Laura Morgan. The song’s eerie pangs of melody summon us deeper into its pentagram-shaped maze, only for the tortured screams and chaotic bludgeoning of riffs to slam the door behind you.
