Fist-to-face Swedish Black Metal from CURSED 13’s Triumf has been unleashed by Sweden’s Carnal Records.
The meaty ‘n muscular Triumf contains 11 tracks spanning the period 1998 up to 2013. Featuring members of DOMGARD, WAN, and SPAZMOSITY, CURSED 13 is nasty, brutish, and brilliant in its blackened purity. While there are no re-recorded songs from the Tearing the World Asunder split with DOMGARD, several of the tracks on Triumf were originally intended for the never released And Hell… album. Bassist/vocalist and Unit Commander Heljarmadr (DOMGARD) explains the album’s malicious content this way,
“The lyrical themes in Cursed 13 have always been based upon aggression, both the controlled and calculating hate as well as the blind fury. CURSED 13 acknowledges the ancient Scandinavian/European spirituality and mythology as the truth and holds the kin of Loke as the ones closest to heart. I am not an atheist and Black Metal is not just another form of music.”
Plans for a gatefold vinyl LP release of Triumf are also in the works. Check out a promo video, featuring album track “När Marorna Kallar” at this location.
