Defy The Curse (Death Metal/Crust // Netherlands)

Defy The Curse is a crust infested blisteringly bone crunching HM-2 death metal from the Lowlands!

Former members of Collision, Cauterize, Inhume, The Guilt Parade, Mangled and Legion Of The Damned reunited in 2016. All from well-known acts from the North Limburg region, they found each other in their “old love doesn’t rust” for crust infested old school death metal!

Raging buzzsaw guitars and raunchy vocals are spat out at a rapid pace, mixed with a grooving rhythm section for maximum impact. Defy the Curse is suffocating in its grooves and rousing and extremely headbangable at its fastest.

Defy The Curse’s debut full-length album »Horrors Of Human Sacrifice« was released on January 13th, 2023 via Hammerheart Records. Artwork by Rafal Wechterowicz from Too Many Skulls (Slayer, Ghost, Kreator). Recorded, mixed and mastered by Toneshed Studio (Dead Head, Inhume, Trouble).
