During the second half of 2011, THIS GIFT IS A CURSE recorded their first full-length ‘I, Gvilt Bearer’ at a secret location north of Stockholm. Their producer Magbjork (MELEEH, CHILDREN OF FALL) moved his studio to this specific location to allow the band to unlimited record possibilities. Released in 2012, the album caused a buzz that reached beyond the underground and quickly sold out its first pressings. More touring followed during the next two years. In 2014, THIS GIFT IS A CURSE teamed up with Magbjork once again to record ‘All Hail The Swinelord’ in an abandoned house close to Stockholm.
After the release in 2015, a few Scandinavian and European tours followed before the band decided it was time to go back into the void to write new music.

This Gift Is A Curse
The experience that is ‘A Throne of Ash’ consists of poisoned blood, dying flesh and the dark ash from the charred body of man – both on a physical and astral plane with the underlying notion that nothing that transpires in what we call ‘reality’ has a greater meaning.
THIS GIFT IS A CURSE vomit forth a steady stream of pitch-black venomous hate. The Swedes passionately demonstrate that black metal remains fertile ground for new sounds. Combining elements of hardcore and sludge with influences from occult black metal as well as drone, ‘A Throne of Ash’ sets a new benchmark for vitriolic viciousness and massive sonic onslaught. The third full-length of the band from Stockholm has turned out to be a vision of darkness that seeks its equal.

After the release in 2015, a few Scandinavian and European tours followed before the band decided it was time to go back into the void to write new music. This process started with the recruitment of a second guitarist in order to push the sonic experience even further. David Deravian, hailing from steel town Eskilstuna, joined the cursed ranks of THIS GIFT IS A CURSE in 2016, adding fresh creative blood and new musical input to the sonic pot. As the new material took form, the band not only booked studio time with the great W. Blackmon of the Overlook Studios in Gävle (SE), but also kept their roots by recoding parts of the album at Norra Begravningsplatsen in Stockholm. Including producer MAGBJORK to the whole process once again to get the right ‘grit and grievance’ into the sound. Afterwards, mastering was done by none other than Magnus Lindberg (CULT OF LUNA, TRIBULATION, ALCEST etc).
This new monstrous black beast is a dark journey written in a barrage of heavy and intense riffing, ferocious blast beats, nightmarish soundscapes, ritualistic howls and occult themed vocals. Brace for impact!

Reviews for "Discover the Power of Cool Maker Magic Mixee in Inspiring Creativity"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Cool Maker Magic Mixee. The concept seemed great - being able to mix different ingredients to create your own scented slime. However, the execution fell short. The slime ended up being really sticky and gooey, not at all like the nice stretchy slime I was expecting. The set also didn't come with enough ingredients to make a decent amount of slime, so it felt like a waste of money. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product.
2. Mike - 1 star - The Cool Maker Magic Mixee was a complete letdown. First of all, the instructions were unclear and the process of making the slime was way too complicated. It ended up being a messy and frustrating experience. Secondly, the scents that came with the set were overpowering and gave me a headache. I didn't even want to touch the slime because of the strong artificial smell. I also found that the slime didn't hold its shape well and quickly turned into a blob of sticky goo. I was really disappointed with this product and would not buy it again.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I was excited to try the Cool Maker Magic Mixee, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The slime-making process was messy and time-consuming, and the final result was underwhelming. The slime was too sticky and didn't have a nice texture. I also found that the scents that came with the set were too strong and artificial. The overall quality of the product was disappointing and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
