UMUR
"Cursed" is the 6th full-length studio album by Finnish grindcore act Rotten Sound. The album was released in March 2011 by Relapse Records.

With now 6 album releases up their sleeve Rotten Sound is definitely one of Finland´s finest grindcore exports and when listening to "Cursed" it´s quite obvious why. It´s not that Rotten Sound break any new ground with this release but their Nasum influenced crusty grindcore style is raw, powerful and effective. While the band can certainly play aggressive and blasting grindcore sections in style, they are also fully capable of occasionally taking the songs down to a mid-paced groove which is great for the variation.

The production is crusty, harsh and distorted, but it´s a very professional sound production where all instruments and vocals are well defined.

...it´s all over in 27:42 minutes. 16 tracks of pummeling grindcore to make your ears bleed. But that´s how it´s suppossed to be and "Cursed", while not exactly original, is definitely worth a purchase for fans of the genre. A 3 - 3.5 star rating is warranted.
