Connecticut-based doom metal warriors CURSE THE SON premiere
their dark and 90s-inspired new video "Worry Garden"
exclusively via Outlaws Of The Sun today! The trio's fourth album 'Excruciation'
is set for June 12th release on Ripple Music.
'Excruciation' is a defining moment for a band who has dealt
with multiple challenges since the release of 'Isolator', and responded in full
with their most diverse, ambitious, and genre shattering record to
date! Bassist Brendan Keefe developed a much larger role in the writing and
performance aspect on the record, while frontman and guitarist Ron Vanacore was
fueled by the extremely trying times CURSE THE SON had endured as a whole and
individually. 'Excruciation' is shaded heavy and light. 'Excruciation' is
beautiful and disfigured. 'Excruciation' is depressingly sad but strangely
uplifting at the same time. It is a record that defies genres, defies
limitations and generalizations. A true musical experience for one and all who
love their music HEAVY!

About this new video, frontman Ron Vanacore comments:
"In this bizarro world we currently find ourselves in, a band’s life’s
blood has been taken away. Who could ever have thought that live performances
would be such an outlandish concept? Pre-Covid19, Curse the Son had already
made the decision to unleash videos for every song on Excruciation! That
decision appears even more relevant and necessary now! Fast forward a year and
here we all are...isolated, lonely, nervous and frustrated. Fear not friends, music is alive and well.
The presentation just may be a bit different for a while! We proudly present
the 1st video from Excruciation...Worry
Garden."
CURSE THE SON 'Excruciation'
Out June 12th on Ripple Music
What began as a studio project in 2008, CURSE THE SON has
slowly and steadily risen to achievements never imagined. Beginning with the
release of the “Globus Hystericus” EP in August 2008, founding member Ron
Vanacore (Guitars & Vocals) felt “a calling”. There was a need for sonic
expression and a passion to create music to share with the world. Using
“Globus Hystericus” as a recruitment tool, Vanacore was soon able to find
like-minded musicians who would assist in making the live experience a
reality.
What followed was the 2011 debut LP “Klonopain”, which set
the stage for what the band was and what it was to become. Riff rock in the
truest sense. Screaming guitars, thick, teeth rattling bass, bombastic drums
and that voice expressing years of pain, torture and sadness. Released in
January of 2013, “Psychache” was a humongous step forward for CURSE THE SON and
the press took notice. Soon after the online release of “Psychache”, STB
Records signed the band. In 2015, they recruited Brendan Keefe (Bass) to join
the fold. What followed was their fourth release “Isolator”. Released in
March of 2017 on Ripple Music, this was the bands most cohesive, well written
and greatest performance yet.
CURSE THE SON toured regionally in support of the
"Isolator" record throughout 2017 and continued to garner growing
attention and fans along the way. Unfortunately long time drummer Michael
Petrucci was no longer able to continue with the band and a replacement was
needed. Robert Ives (Drums) joined the group in April of 2018 and Curse the
Son hit the road again performing at many high profile festivals such as The
Maryland Doom Fest, Descendants of Crom and the New England Stoner/Doom
festival amongst others. Writing began in Summer of 2018, but was put on hold
after bassist Brendan Keefe suffered extensive injuries in a devastating
motorcycle accident in November of 2018.
Marking their great return, their 2020 full-length
'Excruciation' was recorded at Dirt Floor studios in August 2019, produced by
Eric Lichter, and will see a release on June 12th through independent US
powerhouse Ripple Music.
