Cursed!

Lute FP These guys are masters of the understated riff, and write intricate, lovingly crafted songs. Heavy occult folk rock at a glance, but the nuances of the songwriting and musicianship produce a sublime sound that only becomes more apparent the more you listen.

Their 2023 release is their zenith to date, notably due to the more mature sound of the vocals, recalling Dewey Bunnell of Horse With No Name fame. But this album is excellent in its own right.

The Socialist Birder Sublime - the sound of classic Hammer horror meets The Whicker Man played by The Human Beast and released on Vertigo! Favorite track: Cursed.

William Yurkiewicz Occultation remains one of my very favorite albums ever recorded and I have been waiting for this record for years...

CURSED! HAS EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS AND ANSWERED ALL QUESTIONS! This is a masterpiece of melodic hard rock; a monument of soul-amplifying profundity and galvanic cosmic beauty! I love this recording and bestow my highest praise on the exalted musicians who have created this timeless masterpiece.

100+/100. Favorite track: Sun and the Moon.

1.
Learn to know the secrets of the soul As we chart a course through space and time Life beyond the body may be whole Come along and see what you can find This is death and death is one and all Now existing out of mortal roles Travelling all distance in no time Understanding all there is to know Still, without a sound, lungs not breathing No pulse to be found, heart stopped beating Rise away from the ground, no solace in grieving Is this where the journey begins or am I leaving? Could it be the secret of it all Is no more than laughing at your life Playing all your cards the way they fall Will you hold your hand or roll the dice?
2.
You set sail in a sinking ship Joining dots in the sky On a voyage in search of truth Across an ocean of lies You live shrouded in darkest night In all the hours of the day Finding nothing but mystery To help you on your meandering way To the beat of a silent drum Your mind ambles on And at the end now of every day Another year has gone You’re gone… Those who find patterns in coincidence Who can’t decipher myth from fact Who draw conclusions in the great abyss In time will find themselves upon this twisted path The Devil’s sign, the great divine, entwine inside your mind The stars align, the tracks of time all coalesce and point to you Upon the path Upon the serpentine path
3.
See the rays of the setting sun From the top of the mountain high And as empires build and burn Generations are born and die Feel the planet beneath you turn As day and night flash across the sky In our haste we forget to learn To count the days as they pass us by As the sun and the moon share the sky All will pass in the blink of an eye
4.
As sure as the sun will rise And the sky is blue It’s clear to see the Devil’s sign On you As a moth to the flame I’m drawn to you All that was sacred is profane And there are lies where there was truth All the lessons learned And all the tests of time Fall by the wayside when I see the Devil’s Sign As the sky turns to rain You choose to steal and not be saved But what is mine cannot be claimed If it is taken to the grave

Cursed 06:37
There is a shadow in the meadow That is not governed by the sun And now the Autumn months have ended Before the Spring has begun This land is cursed There is a current in the water It has us all and we will drown And even if we could escape on to the riverbanks We’d starve upon the barren ground This land is cursed How long until their spirit dies? How far to the fall? Fear is etched in the people’s eyes As they sing a song of sadness from their soul How much can you sacrifice When your life is of no worth to your god And you’re crawling on your knees in an endless plight To bow to an invisible lord? But not by virtue of some mystical decree This is the way ordained by man To be subservient and live upon our knees We crawl across this cursed land So on and on our tale progresses Without the deepest depths in sight In time this will all be forgotten In the dark of the night But our land is cursed!
6.
Snake Eyes 04:18
Now the table is set And the dealer is prepped All your tokens are stacked And you can’t take them back Time to roll the dice… Snake eyes! Now you’re down to your last All your chances have passed No hope and no friends Roll the dice again… Hahahahahaa! You went all in and lost Now you’re facing the cost But it’s better to have lived my friend For we all see those eyes in the end Snake eyes!
7.
By Your Hand 03:30
Can you see this man? Now look him in the eye You can see he struggles every day Just to stay alive And there is no escape Whatever way he tries He’s on the hook now you’re bleeding him dry By your hand he’ll die By your hand he’ll die You made a deal in the dark and there’s no going back Your veins run cold your blood runs black You made a deal in the dark and there’s no going back There are many more Crippled by the weight All caught living hand to mouth Day to day One ordained in a holy order One raised on a rope One taught they are always righteous Another left without hope One born with a loving father One burdened with sin One delivered on a silver platter One is silenced before they begin
8.
The Forest 05:53
I have been in a forest Where songs are hidden in the trees I have heard calling voices There are rhymes among the leaves Behind a mossy bank Hidden in the dark You’ll find an ancient root spreading A pattern forms Buried under years of earth A silent voice is calling Calling I have wandered by a river Where melody carried in the stream I heard it’s flowing voices There are rhythms in the breeze
