Great news, everybody! Today’s the day you’ll be falling in love with your new favorite metalcore act, Curses. Why’s that you ask? Well, in anticipation of their face-meltingly heavy LP Chapter I: Introspect hitting stores this Friday, the West Virginia natives have teamed up with The Noise to stream their debut album in full.

That’s right! Essentially – in case you aren’t totally sold yet – if you’re a fan of breakdowns that could make the elderly slam dance again, sweetly-sung choruses that could most likely resurrect Harambe (RIP big guy) and guest vocals from Periphery’s Spencer Sotelo, this new record is perfect for you.

Still don’t believe Curses is your next favorite band? Here’s some insight into the quintet’s new release via guitarist Davey Nicewander:



“Chapter I is a musical snapshot of a point in all of our lives where we were asking ourselves questions about who we are and what our purpose is. It means something different to each of us and we feel like the entire process of getting this album out has facilitated growth in us all. We hope that our fans can listen to this record and find a sense of home within it and, ultimately, within themselves."



See, there you have it: Kind-hearted musicians putting out music you’re going to want to bang your head to. Sounds like the best kind of combination to us.
