“Curse Of Despair” is the latest single from CEMETERY REIGN. Now playing at Everything Is Noise, the track comes off the project’s Confined To Time debut, set for release on February 26th via Carbonized Records.
CEMETERY REIGN is a solo death metal endeavor helmed by the depressed and deteriorated mind of David McMaster, riff menace in Street Tombs and drum punisher in Superstition. Based out of the atomic desert of Northern New Mexico, the venture surfaced from the grave during the COVID-19 pandemic while the world descended into mass death madness and psychotic political instability. Being in lock down provided time for writing and recording a multitude of riff-charged songs with haunting, reverberating guitars, and devastating rhythmic assaults of drum and bass ruthlessness that have been entombed until now. Common themes of the album include war, apocalyptic devastation, suicidal depression, and psychedelic-death insanity happening above, beneath, and beyond the funeral grounds of Earth.
Comments McMaster on today’s single, “‘Curse Of Despair’ is a song about being forced to exist, living and dying through the end times perpetually while losing grip of all sanity.”
Adds Everything Is Noise in part, “‘Curse of Despair’ starts with the kind of riffing and crushing drumming that makes you want to set fire to the nearest Fortune 500 company. CEMETERY REIGN‘s vocals bark and seethe amidst the maelstrom. The riffs shift and change like subtle changes in windswept sand revealing the sun-bleached bones of forgotten graves, eventually morphing into mosh pit fuel that could send a circle pit into high gear.”
