Written and recorded in isolation in the Canary Islands, Cursed was produced by Ron Deris at Misueno Studios, with final touches from longtime collaborator Florent Salfati (Landmvrks). Each song is tied to a symbolic flower, forming a broader conceptual arc built on themes of betrayal, sorrow, rage and resilience. Standouts like “Hatred,” “Love Burns,” and “My Blood On Your Hands” showcased a band willing to evolve—balancing staggering heaviness with emotional depth. The new material featured on Cursed: The Complete Edition finalises that arc. The brand new, currently unreleased track “I Am A Cursed One” delivers a final, furious statement, while “River Of Sorrows (Unplugged)” offers a rare glimpse of the band putting their vulnerability front and centre, stripped of the usual chaos that surrounds them.
