about
Curse These Metal Hands is a project unlike many others. Combining the talents of two of UK metal's brightest new bands, Pijn & Conjurer, Curse These Metal Hands is a salute to the power of uplifting heavy music. Knowing each band previously and separately might lead you to believe that Curse These Metal Hands is a dark, crushing release. Far from it - where there before was darkness, now there is light. In the band's own words: "It’s purely just some songs we made to induce joy". The album is saturated with this sense of wellbeing, from the very first moments of opening track, 'High Spirits'. The lyrics in the songs all stem from this joy-inducing ethos, coming "from a place of pushing through to find sick things even when life is a bit tricky... That and getting super stoned, and dogs snoring really loudly." The album is not without its moments of terrific power, though. Listen for example to the mammoth closer, 'Sunday', or the anthemic refrain at the end of 'High Spirits', built around the collaborative three-guitar approach of Dan, Brady and Joe. The group formed at ArcTanGent Festival and will perform again at this year's event. In the words of organiser James Scarlett, "like Baroness playing Pink Floyd... should be on your list", and are absolutely not to be missed.
