I, Cursed’s previous EP, Death Holograms, was a bleak and cold affair in terms of production. The new EP, Heretical Onslaught, is bleak like its predecessor, but a bit warmer, though still closer to a circulatory arrest and collapse. I, Cursed has also undergone some line up changes. Nico Brander, who played guitar on the new EP, has stepped aside. Bassist and the band’s main composer and lyricist Ville-Veikko Laaksonen has taken over on guitar. Joni Suodenjärvi, a familiar face from bands such as Cannibal Accident, Hateform, Mors Principium Est, and others, has been recruited as the band’s new bassist. I, Cursed will be touring Finland extensively throughout the fall with their new EP. 

Track list:

1. Malignant
2. Impure

Finland’s I, Cursed, who combine angry and furious death metal and grindcore, will release a new as yet unnamed EP later this year. The EP will be released in cooperation with Finnish record labels Inverse Records & Meara Music which is also an agency and event producer based in Ulvila. 

The second single ‘Death Pays It All’ is released today and the lyric video is available below.

The band comments: 
” ”Death Pays It All”, the second single from the new I, Cursed EP to be released later this autumn. “Death Pays It All” continues what the first single from the upcoming EP, “Disfigurement”, offered in the form of furious death metal and grindcore. “Death Pays It All” is a dynamic and, to some extent, distorted melodic depiction of how the seductive call of death drives the mind down into the depths and darkness. “Death Pays It All” is complemented by a darkly soothing lyric video produced by Soft Neon Audiovisual.”

Combining angry and furious death metal and grindcore, I, Cursed, from the Pori / Ulvila area, is a brutal dredging of Ville-Veikko Laaksonen and Eero Haula, known from Atlases, Marto and Oceanwake, among others, which is fed to the Finnish metal scene in an atonal coldness. I, Cursed’s music is a mix of something old and familiar, the HM-2 sound of Swedish grind, and somewhat more modern and crushing production. The line-up of the band in July 2024 is completed by guitarist Nico Brander from Marto and drummer Arttu Leppänen from Atlases and Marto. FFO Coldworker, Gadget, Nasum & Rotten Sound.

The band comments: 
” “Disfigurement” gives a hefty and harsh preview of the new I, Cursed EP set to be released later this fall. I, Cursed has updated its production to be more dynamic and organic, closer to how I, Cursed sounds live. “Disfigurement” reflects the mood of the upcoming EP, offering doses of fierce death metal and grindcore. The “Disfigurement” single is accompanied by a rather aggressive and pulsating music video, produced by Soft Neon Audiovisual.”

The second single Sorrower is released today and it’s available on essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/icursed-sorrower

The “Blades” and Sorrower singles are part of the new “Death Holograms” EP to be released later on July 17th 2024. The upcoming EP is produced by I, Cursed and Jerkka Perälä of Soft Neon Audiovisual, whose handprint can be heard and seen in the mixing, mastering, cover art and lyric video for the “Death Holograms” EP. The release of the singles and the “Death Holograms” EP is handled in cooperation by Finnish record labels Inverse Records and Meara Music which is also an agency and event producer based in Ulvila. 

The band comments Sorrower single:
“Sorrower” is the second single from the forthcoming I, Cursed EP. Where the EP’s debut single “Blades” was pure roasting and brutalization, “Sorrower” is a more dynamic and pedestrian crushing death metal/grindcore jam whose desolation drives the mind to figuratively tear down houses. “Sorrower” is accompanied by a visualizer video for promotion. The “Sorrower” single is released by small label Meara Music in collaboration with Inverse Records.”
