WATCH Blades lyric video:
The “Blades” single is part of the new “Death Holograms” EP to be released later in July 2024. The upcoming EP is produced by I, Cursed and Jerkka Perälä of Soft Neon Audiovisual, whose handprint can be heard and seen in the mixing, mastering, cover art and lyric video for the “Death Holograms” EP. The release of the “Blades” single and the “Death Holograms” EP is handled in cooperation by Finnish record labels Inverse Records https://push.fm/fl/inverserecords and Meara Music https://www.mearamusic.fi/ which is also an agency and event producer based in Ulvila.
The band comments Blades single:
“Blades was chosen as the first calling card for the forthcoming Death Holograms EP by being an angry, furious, snappy and blunt image of what is to come. Blades is part of the seven-track modern and raw Death Holograms EP, which brings an expected boost to the generic mass of the domestic metal scene.”

BIOGRAPHY:
Combining angry and furious death metal and grindcore, I, Cursed, from the Pori / Ulvila area, is a brutal dredging of Ville-Veikko Laaksonen and Eero Haula, known from Atlases, Marto and Oceanwake, among others, which is fed to the Finnish metal scene in an atonal coldness. Operating as a duo outside the performance stages, I, Cursed’s music is a mix of something old and familiar, the HM-2 sound of Swedish grind, and somewhat more modern and crushing production. The live line-up is filled by guitarist Nico Brander from Marto and drummer Arttu Leppänen from Atlases and Marto. FFO Coldworker, Gadget, Nasum & Rotten Sound.
