about
Ascending from the shadowed depths of Stockholm, THIS GIFT IS A CURSE is a force forged in the crucible of black metal and sludge-laden doom, dragging listeners into an abyss where light dares not tread. Since their infernal inception, they’ve carved a legacy with the bones of the forgotten and the damned.
With their latest album, ‘Heir’, THIS GIFT IS A CURSE summon a maelstrom of human suffering and dark beauty. Recorded in the haunted confines of the Overlook Studio, under the meticulous gaze of producer William Blackmon, every track is a vile statement to the band’s relentless pursuit of extremity. From the slow burn of “Void Bringer” to the soul-crushing depths of “Seers of no Light”, ‘Heir’ is an exploration of the void that lies within us all.
Magnus Lindberg’s mastering at Redmount Studios ensures the album’s sonorous dread is harnessed to its fullest potential, delivering a sonic apocalypse that only the bravest souls can endure.

Cutting the Throat of God
by Ulceratesupported by 44 fans who also own “Heir”
The best album I have heard in years, maybe even in over a decade. A revelation matched perhaps only by a chosen few. "Stripped down" and "emotional" in the very best sense. Transcendent. My eyes are opened as they once were only by Deathspell Omega.

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulceratesupported by 41 fans who also own “Heir”
What I like the most about this album is that it seems to be more riff-oriented and memorable compared to their earlier albums which were chock-full of crazy dissonant riffage but their songs often meandered or lacked any distinct progression. That is not to say that this this album is any less dense, but is certainly a little catchier, here and there. As always with Ulcerate, their music rewards repeated listening while clearly retaining the tragic, emotional feeling the band is known for.
