Cursus are a band from San Antonio, Texas that plays a psychedelic mixture of sludge, stoner, and doom metal and this is a review of their self titled 2017 album which will be released in April by Artificial Head Records.
Atmospheric soundscapes and drum beats start off the album along with some stringed instruments also being used at times and after a couple of minute heavy guitar riffing is added onto the recording which is mostly rooted in sludge and doom metal along with some growling vocals and most of the tracks are very long and epic in length
Melodies can be heard in some of the guitar riffing and when guitar leads are utilized they give the music more of a psychedelic stoner touch and the vocals also add in a melodic tone at times along with some clean singing and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them while some of the tracks are very experimental and all of the tracks stick to a very slow musical style.
Cursus plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in sludge, stoner and doom metal while the psychedelic and experimental elements gives the songs more originality, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism themes.
In my opinion Cursus are a very great sounding psychedelic mixture of stoner, sludge, and doom metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Waters Of Wrath" and "Trails of tears". 8 out of 10.
