(S3E37) – Soft Curse

Gloom Metal? Emo Doom? Give it whatever name you want, but the debut record, Liminal Ritual, from Santa Rosa, California’s Soft Curse, can only be described as awesome. On this episode of  Rich and Turbo’s Heavy Half Hour (S3E37), we talk to Jonny Andrew, singer and guitarist from the new band that is bringing their hardcore backgrounds to a more traditional doom sound, and let me tell you, this is doom metal through and through, but with a Soft Curse twist. We talk to Jonny about how the band came to be and their history in the very cool screamo band State Faults, why they have gone metal with this project, the Santa Rosa scene, and Jonny’s singing, which is one of the things that takes Soft Curse to another level. Jonny is a music nerd like me so we had a great discussion about all sorts of stuff, so please check out our chat, but only after you go check out Liminal Ritual, which dropped on June 12th and is available on Bandcamp to order on vinyl today. You should all listen and order, because this is some doom of the future that is here right now.
