CURSED 13
Triumf
(Carnal Records)
37:05min

All’s well that ends well. After 15 years of struggling (originally CURSED 13 was founded as a solo-project of the band’s master-mind Heljarmadr and later they changed the name from CURSED 666 to CURSED 13) and after two demo tapes, one 7” vinyl single and the split-release with DOMGARD the Swedish based CURSED 13 have finally recorded their debut album to spread their interpretation of the dark side throughout the world. And, has the wait been worth it? In my eyes unquestionably yes. Eleven Black Metal songs, sounding quite hymnic without getting lost in keyboard bombast. More like the early 1990s Scandinavian wave of Black Metal, SATYRICON, ENLSAVED, EMPEROR (with less dominant keyboards). The decent listener will surely recognize the immense time, accuracy and elaborateness that took place writing and recording “Triumf”. Significant the expressive vocals, Heljarmadr did an excellent job. No more words needed, go ahead and support the the underground. www.cursed13.com, www.facebook.com/pages/cursed-13-official/478871268804066, www.facebook.com/carnalrecords.sweden
