[Metal News] Swazönd - Cursed Inheritance (April 6, 2022)

[billm99uk]

Since we're on the topic of umlauts (not something I've thought about much since my one year of German at school!), here is Tokyo's Swazönd. Not sure if that's a real word, or which language it is if it is! Let alone how to pronounce it. Anyway here's the blurb from Zero Dimensional (Japan's go-to label for obscure, but not quite kvlt Black Metal)

Hailing from the concrete black hole of Tokyo, SWAZÖND offers up rage fuelled Crusted Black Metal that pulls no punches in their delivery. The quartet consists of veterans Shohei on guitar (Lifeblood, Sungoddess, Miasma Death), Thom on drums (Retch, Worship Pain), Kanako on bass (FLAGITIOUS IDIOSYNCRASY IN THE DILAPIDATION), and Jharrod on vocals (GxFxFx). SWAZÖND's debut full length "Cursed Inheritance" blends their influences and experiences into a cohesive yet potent offering that is bound to catch the ear of fans of extreme metal and punk.
