Kur by Voidthrone

Seattle-based unconventional dissonant black/death outfit Voidthrone arise again with a new offering of brain-scrambling darkness and terror - KUR.

REVIEWS:
"Masterful swaths of complex, churning black metal...Voidthrone create a prison into which you freely enter, one which retains you not by force but by hypnosis"- Invisible Oranges (http://www.invisibleoranges.com/voidthrone-kur/)

"World-ending black/death metal with a singular spirit, as distinctive as its cover art; a record that stays true to the spirit of the style, whilst adding new twists. This is something special." - The Sound Not The Word
(https://thesoundnottheword.com/2018/04/11/review-voidthrone-kur/#more-16303)

"The band is exactly what music needs more of." - Technical Music Review (https://technicalmusicreview.com/2018/04/16/voidthrone-release-kur-music-video/)

"The album gave me anxiety. I loved it though. It was as if i was stuck in the mind of a patient with schizophrenia in the early 50’s. Fast, desolate and soulless...It is unlike anything I have heard this year so far. It is hard to describe exactly what the sound is. If you like and Anaal Nathrakh and Gorgoroth, this is something you must purchase." - Capital Chaos TV (https://capitalchaostv.com/2018/04/11/voidthrone-kur-self-released/)

"Copious blast beats are thrown into a hideous blender with counter-intuitive guitar incantations and screams designed to accompany a good brain bleed"- Metal Abyss (https://www.metalabyss.com/single-post/Voidthrone-Left-Up-The-Middle--Kur)

The album cover is an abstract painting created by the band at the beginning of the songwriting process, before we had started writing music. It is a visual representation of the root feelings that we used as the groundwork for the aural assault of Kur. It is the preface of the chaotic emotional state that we aim to cultivate.
