Perth Metal Act Cursed Earth Sign With UNFD Ahead Of New EP

Ascendant West Australian metal outfit Cursed Earth will have extra cause to celebrate when they continue their War March national tour this week following the announcement that they're the latest act to sign with respected Aussie label UNFD.

One of the country's most respected homes for heavy and alternative music, UNFD's existing label roster includes the likes of In Hearts Wake, Northlane, Ocean Grove, Columbus, Tonight Alive, Storm The Sky and many more.

With a few years of experience under their belt, Cursed Earth are a natural addition to those ranks as they prepare to release their next EP, Cycles Of Grief Volume 1: Growth, which is set to land on Friday 4 August through the label.

"The story of Cycles Of Grief documents the collision of nature and nurture," guitarist Kieran Molloy said in a statement. "It's an unprejudiced look into the intergenerational nature of coldness, addiction and violence."

Pre-orders for the EP are available now.

Before it arrives, though, the band will be on the road for the next week and a bit, restarting their tour at Brissy's Crowbar and rolling through Newcastle, Sydney (licensed all ages), Wollongong (AA), Melbourne (two shows — one 18+, one AA) and Adelaide, which closes the tour at Crown & Anchor with a final all-ages outing on Sunday 9 July.

Cursed Earth have freshly released the video for the thunderous tune that gives the tour its name — check out War March below, and head to theGuide for a full rundown of tour details.
