HAR (Isr) – ‘Cursed Creation’ LP

To be utterly stunned by the ferocity of a record is an all too rare occasion in this day and age. Yet from its very first note, HAR’s debut album Cursed Creation strikes like a bolt from the blue, mauling its listener and showing no mercy. With Cursed Creation, the Berlin-based five-piece of Israeli descent have reached a new peak, injecting a lethal dose of technical mastery and unadulterated hatred into their already established formula. After two promising EPs, and 2019’s devastating Anti-Shechinah demo, Cursed Creation marks the “culmination of the band’s constant search and redefinition of its own vision of intense and evil black/death metal”.
