More information about Heir

“…the rhythm is perfect for alternating pure violence, dissonance and a few more imposing moments.” – Acta Infernalis

“…the quintet conveys the feeling that this album takes up the legacy of their previous work and will destroy everything in its path.” – Metal-Only

THIS GIFT IS A CURSE returns with their latest offering, ‘Heir’. Steeped in the infernal grace of black metal’s ferocity and the crushing weight of sludge-laden doom, Heir is poised to drag listeners into an abyss where light dares not tread. Set to be released on this Friday, March 7th, this album promises to solidify the band’s legacy in the underground metal scene.

Recorded amidst the haunted ambiance of the Overlook Studio in Gävle, Sweden, and steered by the unrelenting vision of producer William Blackmon, each track on ‘Heir‘ is a vile declaration of the band’s relentless pursuit of extremity. From the soul-crushing “Seers of No Light” to ethereal moments borne from the haunting collaboration with Laura Morgan (Livmødr) on “Kingdom” and “Old Space,” this album brings you to straight to the abyssal depths of the human psyche.

Mastered by the lauded Magnus Lindberg at Redmount Studios in Stockholm, Heir offers an unparalleled auditory apocalypse, with a sonic landscape dense enough to challenge even the hardiest of souls. Lindberg’s expert touch ensures every bone-crushing riff and searing vocal carries the weight of a thousand shadows, delivering a listening experience that is as immersive as it is punishing.
