Over the past 16 years, This Gift Is A Curse have pushed the edges of underground metal to violent extremes. The Swedes' new album extends their blackened reign of sludgy terror. With Heir, there's no escaping the blinding punishment that's handed down by their cold, hard fist.

Heir comes out tomorrow, March 7 on Season of Mist. But you can hear all 10 dark and ascendant tracks today by listening to the full album stream on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.

This Gift Is A Curse are blessed with an unholy triple attack. Heir wields the transcendent ferocity of black metal, sludgy doom and the crushing weight of hardcore. Hammering blast beats and a swarm of needling tremolo picks tear through lead single "Kingdom" like the hounds of hell. "I made a secret door into your eyes", a possessed Jonas Holmberg chants alongside Livmødr's bewitching queen Laura Morgan.

On Heir, This Gift Is A Curse reign where other swinelords fear to tread.

THIS GIFT IS A CURSE defies the transient trends of music, instead choosing to carve its path with the bones of the fallen. Their forthcoming album, 'HEIR,' is a relentless pursuit of the extreme, a mosaic of human suffering and the dark beauty that lies within. As the album prepares to sear its mark upon the world, one thing is clear: There will be no heirs to the throne of darkness that THIS GIFT IS A CURSE occupies. The crown is theirs alone, forged in the fires of creation and destruction, a beacon for those who dare to walk the shadows.
