This Gift Is A Curse
Descending from the dark depths of Stockholm, THIS GIFT IS A CURSE is a force forged in the fires of black metal and crushing doom, dragging listeners into an abyss where light dares not tread. Since their cursed inception, they’ve built a legacy on the bones of the forgotten and the damned. Their latest album, HEIR, is a true storm of human suffering and dark beauty. Recorded in the mysterious confines of Overlook Studio under the watchful eye of producer William Blackmon, each track stands as a brutal testament to the band’s relentless pursuit of extremity. From the slow-burning intensity of „VOID BRINGER” to the soul-crushing depths of „SEERS OF NO LIGHT,” HEIR is a journey into the void that resides within us all. Mastered by Magnus Lindberg at Redmount Studios, the album’s sonorous dread is fully realized, delivering a sonic apocalypse that only the bravest souls can endure.
