Finnish deathgrind band I, Cursed released their ‘Heretical Onslaught‘ EP and announces Finnish tour.
The EP has been released in cooperation with Finnish record labels Inverse Records & Meara Music which is also an agency and event producer based in Ulvila.
I, Cursed’s previous EP, ‘Death Holograms‘, was a bleak and cold affair in terms of production.
The new EP, ‘Heretical Onslaught‘, is bleak like its predecessor, but a bit warmer, though still closer to a circulatory arrest and collapse.
I, Cursed has also undergone some line up changes.
Nico Brander, who played guitar on the new EP, has stepped aside.
Bassist and the band’s main composer and lyricist Ville-Veikko Laaksonen has taken over on guitar.
Joni Suodenjärvi, a familiar face from bands such as Cannibal Accident, Hateform, Mors Principium Est, and others, has been recruited as the band’s new bassist.
I, Cursed will be touring Finland extensively throughout the fall with their new EP.
Earlier on in 2025 I, Cursed had already released as teasers for this EP the singles ‘Nothing From The Ruins‘, ‘Death Pays It All‘ and ‘Disfigurement‘.
The band comments ‘Nothing From The Ruins‘:
“‘Nothing From The Ruins’ is, as its name suggests, Brevity is the Soul of Wit. ‘Nothing From The Ruins’ clocks in at barely a minute, being the EP’s most instant chaos in all its brutality.”
‘Death Pays It All‘ continues what the single ‘Disfigurement‘, offered in the form of furious death metal and grindcore.
‘Death Pays It All‘ is a dynamic and, to some extent, distorted melodic depiction of how the seductive call of death drives the mind down into the depths and darkness.
The song is complemented by a darkly soothing lyric video produced by Soft Neon Audiovisual.
I, Cursed has updated its production to be more dynamic and organic, closer to how I, Cursed sounds live.
‘Disfigurement‘ reflects the mood of the upcoming EP, offering doses of fierce death metal and grindcore.
This single is accompanied by a rather aggressive and pulsating music video, produced by Soft Neon Audiovisual.

Combining angry and furious death metal and grindcore, I, Cursed is originally the brutal band of Eero Haula and Ville-Veikko Laaksonen, who are known from Atlases, Marto and Oceanwake, among others.
In the wake of their new ‘Death Holograms’ EP, the band announces that Guitarist Nico Brander of Marto and drummer Arttu Leppänen of Atlases and Marto are now permanent members of the band, having previously played live with I, Cursed.
‘Death Holograms’ EP, released on July 17th 2024 is produced by I, Cursed and Jerkka Perälä of Soft Neon Audiovisual, whose handprint can be heard and seen in the mixing, mastering, cover art and lyric video for the ‘Death Holograms’ EP.
The release of the singles and the ‘Death Holograms’ EP is handled in cooperation by Finnish record labels Inverse Records and Meara Music which is also an agency and event producer based in Ulvila.
Combining angry and furious death metal and grindcore, I, Cursed, from the Pori / Ulvila area, is a brutal dredging of Ville-Veikko Laaksonen and Eero Haula, known from Atlases, Marto and Oceanwake, among others, which is fed to the Finnish metal scene in an atonal coldness.
I, Cursed’s music is a mix of something old and familiar, the HM-2 sound of Swedish grind, and somewhat more modern and crushing production.
The line-up of the band in July 2024 is completed by guitarist Nico Brander from Marto and drummer Arttu Leppänen from Atlases and Marto.
