More information about Heir

Descending from the abyssal depths of the darkest recesses, THIS GIFT IS A CURSE emerges once more to engulf the light on their latest single, Ascension. The track serves as the harrowing finisher to their forthcoming album, HEIR, set to annihilate the earthen plane.

Witness the raw, relentless storm of sound that is Ascension, a track that delves into the arcane spectrums of the human soul. Swathed in the ominous embrace of the Overlook Studio in Gävle, Sweden, and meticulously conjured by producer William Blackmon, Ascension is an invocation, summoning the darkness that dwells within us all. Magnus Lindberg’s mastering at Redmount Studios in Stockholm ensures that every note of this sonic incantation reverberates through your very core.

Drenched in the ethereal haze of occult resonance, Ascension is an esoteric rite of passage. The track unleashes a torrent of blackened riffs, cascading over relentless blast beats that echo the primordial chaos from which all darkness is spawned. As Jonas A. Holmberg’s vocals tear through the soul with a visceral intensity, the listener is enveloped in a ritualistic trance. Laura Morgan’s haunting chants weave through the aural onslaught, providing an otherworldly contrast that beckons the spirit to rise amidst the ashes. This is post-apocalyptic liturgy, a sonic crucible where mortals transcend into the realm of shadows, guided by the relentless force that is THIS GIFT IS A CURSE.
