War Curse Announce 3rd Full Length Album, Confession

Hailing from Ohio, the thrash metal unit found inspiration after facing the cancellation of their 2020 tour. Instead of waiting it out, the band dived into writing their next full length. 

We experimented with new sounds, old sounds, took in new influences, old influences, and let the songs come together as organically as possible. As far as our current direction, the music we consume is all over the map, a lot of it way outside of the metal sphere. I hear bands doing new, interesting things with their music and I want to be able to do the same with mine. If I lose my thrash card for it, oh well, I’ll hand in my battle vest. We demo recorded every song two or three times, picked them apart, edited them, and then rehearsed them in a room together. We allowed the process of collaboration and experimentation to take us wherever the wave carried us. Compared to previous releases, we were a lot more critical of ourselves during the writing and recording of this album. We set out to make an album in the truest sense of the word, not just a collection of songs.
— says guitarist Justin Roth

Roth goes on to note that their newest single, Miracle Broker, is a call out to corrupt religious figure heads. With lyrics such as, ‘Hands down a sermon, Infect the minds of men, Repeat the message, Again, again, again, The same old tactics, A new disease, hang on to every word, Till you believe.’ The song has a slew of guitar solos and heavy drums that are truly the foundations of War Curse’s discography.

My love for concert photography came from my scrolling on tumblr in my high school years, growing more after attending Warped Tour in 2012. Earning my associates degree in the arts from Cochise College in 2017, I started hunting for my next goal. I began my photojournalism journey in 2019 after working for my local newspaper taking shots of anyone and anything. I have a background of short documentaries, video interviewing and editorial shots. My friends tell me I have a plethora of band/music knowledge that I now hope to put to good use.
