Skaldic Curse

Astynax, VX, Monolith and Theutus in late 2000/early 2001 with the goal of creating nihilistic and progressive black metal. After a number of demos, the band unleashed their debut EP ‘Contagious Psychic Misery’ on the Forgotten Wisdom Productions label in 2004. This was followed by the departure of VX and the subsequent recording of debut full-length album ‘Pathogen’, again released by Forgotten Wisdom. An album self-recorded during a period of intense negativity for many members of the band, ‘Pathogen’ was at once a hysterical and intensely malicious release whilst early live shows delivered chaos and coldness in equal measure.
Early 2006 saw a number of changes within the band line-up - original drummer Theutus left at the start of the year to be replaced by Vermin. In addition, the band returned to a two-guitar line-up with the recruitment of Scapula during this same period. The remainder of 2006 was spent working on newer material culminating in the recording of the follow-up to Pathogen in 2007. Entitled 'World Suicide Machine', the album built upon the twisted, progressive approach to black metal evident on the debut. This recording attracted the attention of Norway's Dark Essence Records (Taake, Helheim, Aeturnus) who subsequently released the album in early 2009.. .. 2009 saw the latest line-up of Skaldic Curse deliver a number of live rituals of increasing intensity before heading back to the studio to forge what would become the third opus of the band. Simply entitled ‘Devourer’, the latest record is sixty minutes of discordant, psychedelic unpleasantness. Channelling the frozen malice of the void and invoking the unknowable vastness of the all-consuming emptiness at the heart of this reality, ‘Devourer’ is a distillation of all that has driven the band to date. Hatred. Horror. Misery. Madness.
