THIS GIFT IS A CURSE Unveil Nightmarish Video For Void Bringer

A new official music video has been released for Void Bringer, a track taken from HEIR, the latest full-length album by Swedish blackened sludge band THIS GIFT IS A CURSE. The video was directed and produced by visual artist Lars Kristoffer Hormander (@larskristo), and presents a monochrome visual narrative built around ritual, hallucination, and descent.

Following a storyline created in collaboration with vocalist Jonas A. Holmberg, Void Bringer depicts a figure’s psychological and spiritual collapse as they undergo a violent path toward transcendence through sacrifice. Drawing heavily on themes of isolation, cosmic horror, and metaphysical disintegration, the visuals combine AI-generated forms with an aesthetic inspired by silent-era cinema and early horror imagery.

Void Bringer is the third single from HEIR, and is described by the band as a conceptual centerpiece—both musically and lyrically. The track explores ideas around human consciousness as a form of contamination, the myth of spiritual elevation through destruction, and the confrontation of internal voids. The accompanying video expands on this narrative, offering a visual counterpart to the song’s focus on inevitability, obsession, and the dissolution of self.
