Cursed Excruciation are a solo project from Brazil that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a very old school and blasphemous mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of his self released 2021 demo "Initiation: The Oath Of Darkness".
A very dark sounding intro starts off the demo while also adding in a brief use of movie samples before going into a heavier direction. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of t he guitar riffing along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats.
Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while elements of death metal can also be heard at times. Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the 80's to early 90's era along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length as well as some synths also being utilized briefly and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast sections, spoken word parts can are also added on one of the songs and when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very chaotic style.
On this recording Cursed Excruciation goes back to t he 80's and early 90's era of black and death metal. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover Occultism, Darkness and Anti Religion themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Cursed Excruciation and if you are a fan of old school black and death metal, you should check out this demo. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Beast Of Fire". 8 out of 10.
