NEWS: Blessed Curse claim the crown!
A year after the band shared “Street Freaks” from their upcoming new album “Pray For Armageddon“, Sacramento Death Thrash trio Blessed Curse have dropped a lyric video for “Throne Of Bones” accompanied by a lyric video created by Raf Orteaga at Ecliptic Visions (Ayreon, The Absence, Hecate Enthroned). Both will take pride of place on album “Pray For Armageddon” which M-Theory Audio will distribute on 11th August. Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp.
Guitarist and vocalist Tyler Satterlee comments: “’Throne of Bones’ is a malicious track about an individual who meets with a witch that teaches you how to change your physical form into something sinister to get away with brutal murders. With this power this person literally constructs a throne of bones of his enemies deep in the woods, gleefully sitting upon a bloody chair of vengeance”
Drummer Derek Bean adds “’Throne of Bones’ is one of those tracks that has a great end cap feel to it. Finalizing the album, it definitely brings an intense closure to an intense record. Loaded with all the dark imagery, heavy riffing and pounding double bass that the band is known for I couldn’t be happier with how the song delivers on all of the B.C. strong points. All the while it is still pushing the boundaries of what we do to keep progressing with heavy music without abandoning what we’re all about”
“’Pray For Armageddon’ is about sadistic religious impatience caused by sorcery. A shortcut to Judgement Day, three lycanthropic prophets invoke a global curse causing all people to commit horrific sin instantly everywhere. Triggering the maker’s wrathful punishment, our world is quickly ‘cleansed’ by sky-high waves of flame and destruction” eerily adds Tyler.
“We were very fortunate to once again work with the amazing Marc Sasso, who also did our 2012 debut album artwork. Once again featuring the BC Beast ‘Larry.’ He was able to bring our apocalyptic vision to life showcasing three beast prophets overlooking a major city being obliterated after their wicked spell angers the Almighty… Btw, Larry is named after the Universal Monster character Larry Talbot, who tragically becomes cursed in the 1941 classic ‘The Wolf Man.’”
