Disgusting Existence
Endless Curse

ENDLESS CURSE were formed in 2009 and they are from Germany. The Death Metal band released two EPs and two full-length albums so far. Their third EP "Disgusting Existence" has a length of about 12 minutes. It is an independent release. The EP starts with a short and tension-building intro called "Prelude", transitioning into "The Rite". "The Rite" has a frantic start with punishing guitar riffs accompanied by the blast-beats. The track is a mixture of fast parts and mid-tempo parts. The vocals are growls and they vary around the medium end of the guttural range, with backing vocals delivering higher pitched screams. The guitar riffing is very direct and aggressive. "Death March Reborn" continues with the aggressive Death Metal sound of the previous track, where the growls are slightly deeper. The drumming includes a lot of double-bass and blast-beats. There are twists and turns in tempo and rhythm, however, most of the track is around mid-tempo. The guitar riffing is once again very direct, simple, and aggressive.
The EP finishes with the track "Præy" and the Death Metal journey continues to offer directness and aggression. It is a track constantly varying between fast tempo, driven by the blast-beats and a measured tempo with thunderous guitar riffs. The vocals have plenty of backing vocal support, mainly delivering the higher-pitched screams. The track is a bit more melodic compared to the other tracks and the melodies are blood-freezing in particular towards the end of the song. "Præy" is the official video release, and the YouTube link is provided below. ENDLESS CURSE released a decent EP. The songs on "Disgusting Existence" are raw and aggressive. The Death Metal sound is direct, very simple, and without any technicality. ENDLESS CURSE do not focus on a melodic approach, the tracks are rather aggressive hammering, where the vocals deliver intensity and anger. The EP is well produced. Although the EP is pretty short, fans of no-nonsense traditional Death Metal might like what they hear and hope for the next full-length album of ENDLESS CURSE.
