Hailing from Stockholm, This Gift is a Curse plays a combination of hardcore and sludge with great influences from the occult black metal-scene. Spanning from slow, epic sections to faster, energetic parts, the songs show a great diversity both in musicianship and creativity. Due of all the members have been part of different constellations before, such as Seven Nautical Miles from Piteå/Sweden(Sound devestation records) and Grizzly Twister from Gävle/Sweden (Midmarch records), entering the hardcore / heavy music scene again felt like a natural step. Many acclaimed shows have been performed and many are yet to come as the bands reputation as a great live act spreads rapidly. A live experience that could be best described as a dark “natural force”. Like an emerging black storm of noise and tension, a swelling cloud that will sweep you over and suck you in to the mist. An demo recording took place quite early and five songs were put on tape in the bands rehearsal hall
