Ron Vanacore comments: “Anyone who REALLY knows me, knows that I have been in the music business for a LONG time. I never gave up on my dream, despite the rejections and inevitable self doubt that arises after slugging it out for so many years. I’m proud that I hung in there and persevered…I didn’t quit!
From the bottom of my heart I want to sincerely thank Todd Severin, Pope John and all at Ripple Music for helping me to realize my dream. It is such an awesome feeling to be signed to a phenomenal record label and putting out the best music I have ever been a part of!! It all happened a bit later in life than I thought it would, but in a way that makes it all the better.
Thanks to Dan Weeden for being such a great friend, as well as a tremendous writing partner and bass player. Thanks to all of my friends who have supported me throughout the years (and still do)!! Thanks to STB Records for giving us the opportunity to show the world what Curse the Son had to offer. MOST IMPORTANTLY thank you to the fans of the band….I am so honored that I have had some type of impact in your life the way other’s music has impacted mine.
Ladies and Gentlemen….I give you »Delirium«.”

Curse The Son have endured the tests of time. Lineup shifts, traumatic personal losses and a global pandemic have found the band in a vastly different world. A dark world. A world that doesn’t feel very stable. Lyrically and conceptually, »Delirium« finds Curse The Son exploring and re-experiencing the fear, isolation, confusion and death from a time not so long ago. A slow descent into madness as we self-medicated, forced others away and suffered from the greatest losses of all: each other. Psychologically, the devastating emotional damage inflicted upon us and our children will never fully be understood. Drenched in these drowning vibes, »Delirium« was created.
Rooted in the purest tradition of classic American doom metal, »Delirium« encapsulates the band’s 16-year career in a thick wall of distortion and desolation, all driven by mean earth-scorching riffs, deadly grooves and powerhouse vocals from band leader Ron Vanacore. This new record also comprises a devilish cover of Witchfinder General’s »R.I.P.«. A must-hear for fans of everything from Trouble, The Skull, Saint Vitus to Black Sabbath! Watch their latest video for »Deliberate Cruelty (The Extermination Song)«.
Curse The Son »Delirium« out September 6th on Ripple Music (LP/CD/digital): Bandcamp preorder // US preorder
New album »Delirium« was written and recorded in the many months of 2022-2023. This time the band returned to Dirt Floor with a sense of rejuvenation, rebirth, and a deeper connection to the material being performed. Dan Weeden joined the band on bass in 2022. Dan has been a friend and writing partner of Ron’s since the early 1990s. Shortly after the recording of »Delirium«, drummer Brian Harris amicably parted ways with the band, Shortly after, Ron’s son Logan Vanacore took over as the drummer for the band. At 14 years old, Logan is a widely recognized drumming phenom and he and Dan play vital roles as Curse The Son’s concussive rhythm section.
»Delirium« has the fuzzed-out gloomy electricity of 2013’s »Psychache«, with a knowing glance towards the advanced songwriting structures found on 2017’s »Isolator«. Following 2020’s more experimental »Excruciation« album, Curse The Son decided to make »Delirium« a return to more familiar territories. Crushing doomed out numbers like »Liste Of The Dead« and »This Suffering Is Ours« state their case with mind-numbing heaviness. In contrast, the more uptempo and challenging »Deliberate Cruelty« and »Delirium« offer more dynamic and complex themes. As long-time fans of Witchfinder General, the band also paid homage to these underrated stoner/doom originators with a groovy cover of »R.I.P.«.
For »Delirium«, Curse The Son returned to the studio with a sense of rejuvenation, rebirth, and a deeper connection to the material being performed. Dan Weeden joined the band on bass in 2022. Dan has been a friend and writing partner of guitarist and vocalist Ron Vanacore since the early 1990s. Shortly after the recording of »Delirium«, drummer Brian Harris amicably parted ways with the band, who integrated Vacanore’s 14-year-old son and drumming phenomenon Logan Vanacore. Once again the band teamed up with Eric Lichter and Dirt Floor Recording to record »Delirium«. Curse The Son is extremely proud to once again be working with Ripple Music for the worldwide release of »Delirium« in September 2024.
