Skaldic Curse, which features members of Akercocke & Fen, emerged in the early 2000s in London as part of a wave of new acts seeking to re-establish the UK’s reputation on the international extreme metal stage. The band chose to adopt a singular path from the get-go. Eschewing trends and fashions, the five-piece adopted a resolutely cold, intricate path – searing melody, crushing dissonance, and an almost overwhelming intensity were to become the band’s hallmarks.

A handful of demos preceded the ‘Pathogen’ debut album in 2005 which set out the band’s stall. A raw production draped suitable levels of filth over material that was both caustic and progressive. The follow-up, ‘World Suicide Machine’ honed the approach further, accentuating the band’s technical nature but it was 2009’s ‘Devourer’ that was to become the band’s masterpiece – intricate, powerful and haunting, it represents a high-watermark for the UK’s black metal output in many ways, deftly blending musical accomplishment with nihilistic fury.
