Allow me to introduce you to your new favorite band.
Hailing
from Perth, Australia, Cursed Earth is the new sensation in heavy noise-making.
The quintet formed in 2013 and is steadily becoming a force to be reckoned
with. Their latest EP, “Cycles Of Grief”, is an angry album that addresses
issues through a blatantly nihilistic prism. It consists of 5 short tracks and
picks up where the last album, “Enslaved By The Insignificant”, left off
demonstrating a natural evolution of the sound. The band continues to voice
their fears and disappointment in a relatable way. Vocalist Jazmine Luders
delivers a truly remarkable guttural performance, proving that she can play the
game just as well as the boys in this scene. Guitarists Kieran Molloy and Paul
Cottrell have artfully assimilated their influences into a solid amalgam of headbanging
riffage while Robert Owens supports the body of the sound with his sharp and full basslines. Of course, all that would be gone to waste without that on-point, violent and face-melting drumming.
Lyrically, from pent up aggression to police
brutality, the themes of anguish and desolation are always prominent through
the latent nature vs. nurture debate. Self-pity and reflection in a compulsive
urge to break free from the devious course of life. Realistic cynicism depicting
in a horrendously accurate way how the rotten and corrupted shell of the frail
system slowly crumbles; a defiant act of insurrection against moral bankruptcy.
All in under 2' of pummeling drums. 8.5/10
