CURSED - THE COLDEST DEATH INFINITE… (Independent - 2000): Black metal in the vein of Immortal and Marduk is what we have in this MCD from this French band. This means speed, complex riffs, dark atmospheres, rotten vocals. What I specially liked from this band are the guitar solos tat seem to be based in great melodies and not only on speed. I think that "The Coldest Death Infinite …" is a really great title for this record because listening to the band´s music you have this sense of darkness, cold, death. The overall sound of the recording is good, but I would have liked in the mix the drums to be more in the front, that here are a little bit in the back, maybe the cymbals are covering a little bit the sound of the drumkit. The guitars have a really original sound, sounding a little bit muddier than in most of the bands of the style where they sound more raw (overdrive effects). For fans of black metal this is an excellent band for you to check. Contact: CURSED@ifrance.com
