Curse (Iceland) - Cursed Be Thy Name
This lone wolf band hails from Iceland, a country with not just a small number of Metal bands but a small number of bands period. The only other band of note that I can think of is Solstafir (I believe they did a split CD with Chorus of Ruin some years back) and I’m not even sure that they’re still around. Musically, I was expecting something more in the vein of Burzum, but this MCD sounds more like old Emperor or Satyricon, though not as well executed. The three tracks on display here were recorded between the years 1999 and 2001 and though they don’t suck, they just don’t kick ass like you’d expect a song to after being worked on for so many years. With so many other great bands out there, this comes off as being mediocre. I’ll hail Eldur for trying to stick Iceland on the Black Metal map, but Cursed Be Thy Name is going to end up as a novelty for collectors of obscure albums by obscure bands.
