"In the wake of their powerful third album, Net Prophet, Plattenbau returns with their heaviest offering yet: CURSED. This album is not just another release; it's a formidable statement steeped in the chaos of our current reality. CURSED immerses listeners in a sombre soundscape where doom, hardcore, and dungeon synth converge, all cut through with Plattenbau's signature edge. "Communion in rage against a collapsing reality.""
"The band plunges headfirst into the prevailing crises of our times, portraying a world teetering on the brink of feudalism. As rival warlords wreak havoc on ecosystems and societies, the powerless are left to sift through the ruins. This album is a raw confrontation of our own privileged inertia, reflecting the existential dread of witnessing the world ignite from the comfort of our screens."
"Nestled within the album's dark textures, CURSED stands defiantly against despair. Rather than a mere dirge, it serves as an invitation: here, rage morphs into ritual, noise transforms into a release, and dance emerges as an act of defiance. Plattenbau embodies visceral energy, reinvigorated by sonic extremity, all while adhering to their motto: "tight, loose and evil™." CURSED is not just an album; it's an essential listening experience that embodies the struggle, the hope, and the defiance of our generation."
CURSED plunges into contemporary crises with a heavy, sombre sound that fuses doom, hardcore and dungeon synth. The album portrays a world slipping toward feudalism, where rival warlords devastate ecosystems and societies while the powerless sort through ruins. Themes center on privileged inertia, existential dread, and the transformation of rage into ritual and release. Musically, the band combines robotic drums, gothy basslines, mystical guitars and paranoid synths with deep, brooding vocals to evoke a 90s VHS horror mood. Plattenbau channels visceral energy and defiance under the motto "tight, loose and evil™."
