Curezum Releases New Video
Black metal, forests, and pizza. Three of the most logical things to see in one video, especially one of Curezum - the extreme metal tribute to the Cure which has stirred up delight and controversy in equal measure.
Check out the video for "A Forest" below, which also features Matron Thorn of Ævangelist on guitar. Embrace the grindhouse aesthetic of the video - and beware of the cookie jar. Pre-orders for “A Forest/Siamese Twins” are available via Static Tension Recordings right here. More...

Curezum Streaming "A Forest"
Finally, it is here: the new song of extreme metal tribute Curezum, which set the internet aflame last year with double-single covering “100 Years” and “The Top.”
This time, Curezum has chosen “A Forest,” which features Matron Thorn of international black/death metal band Ævangelist. Curezum leader Mort Subite comments:
“Looking back, 'A Forest' is one of the defining moments of post-punk and (to a lesser degree) gothic rock… history would prove the Cure to be the band that beat all odds and became beloved by millions worldwide. Curezum’s take on 'A Forest' is the bleakest possible interpretation. Desperation made manifest.” More...

Curezum Streaming "One Hundred Years/The Top"
Curezum, the black metal tribute to The Cure, just unveiled the flipside of the double-single "One Hundred Years/The Top." The track is a unique take on the psychedelic romp of the original song, and complements the A-side "One Hundred Years" with its dark and sinister mood. You can stream both tracks below.

Extreme Metal Tribute To The Cure Announced
On November 26, Curezum (yes, it's exactly the combination it sounds like) will release a two-track single.
Curezum is the world's first extreme metal tribute to The Cure, featuring members of Megaton Leviathan, Barrowlands and, well, Billy Anderson. This is far from a joke project, and there's more material where these two songs come from.
The Cure has long been a source of inspiration for the dark side of music, and the group's nihilistic, gloomy earlier works provided a template for musicians across a wide spectrum of genres, not least the extreme metal community.
Mort Subite and Martti Hill consider now the time for a fitting tribute to this influential band, taking the atmosphere of "Pornography," "Faith" and other classics, and reworking the music into harsher moods. The result: Curezum.
As a showcase of what’s to come, the band is unveiling a two-track single tackling the post-punk classic “One Hundred Years” and the psychedelic meandering of “The Top.” The single is set for digital release on 26th November, with a physical release planned later. More...
