Riff metal purveyors CURSE THE SON unleash "Suicide By Drummer" video; new album 'Excruciation' out now on Ripple Music!
New Haven's
doom rock warriors CURSE THE SON unleash a second video taken from their dark
and genre-defying fourth album 'Excruciation', available now
on Ripple Music.
CURSE THE SON recently released a grunge-laden video for
"Worry Garden" and don't intend to stop
there. Frontman Ron Vanacore explains: “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.”

New album '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. 'Excruciation' is shaded heavy and light. Beautiful and
disfigured. 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.
CURSE THE SON 'Excruciation'
Out now 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 saw release on June 12th through independent US
powerhouse Ripple Music.
