Curse the Son have endured the tests of time. Lineup shifts, traumatic personal losses and a global pandemic have found the band in a vastly different world. A dark world. A world that doesn't feel very stable. Lyrically and conceptually, "Delirium" finds Curse the Son exploring and re-experiencing the fear, isolation, confusion and death from a time not so long ago.
Drenched in these drowning vibes, "Delirium" was created.

https://ripplemusic.bandcamp.com/album/delirium"Delirium" has the fuzzed-out gloomy electricity of 2013's "Psychache", with a knowing glance towards the advanced songwriting structures found on 2017's "Isolator". Following 2020's more experimental "Excruciation" album, Curse The Son decided to make "Delirium" a return to more familiar territories. Crushing doomed out numbers like "Liste Of The Dead" and "This Suffering Is Ours" state their case with mind-numbing heaviness. In contrast, the more uptempo and challenging "Deliberate Cruelty" and "Delirium" offer more dynamic and complex themes. As long-time fans of Witchfinder General, the band also paid homage to these underrated stoner/doom originators with a groovy cover of "R.I.P.".
For "Delirium", Curse The Son returned to the studio with a sense of rejuvenation, rebirth, and a deeper connection to the material being performed. Dan Weeden joined the band on bass in 2022. Dan has been a friend and writing partner of guitarist and vocalist Ron Vanacore since the early 1990s. Shortly after the recording of "Delirium", drummer Brian Harris amicably parted ways with the band, who integrated Vacanore's 14-year-old son and drumming phenomenon Logan Vanacore.
Once again the band teamed up with Eric Lichter and Dirt Floor Recording to record "Delirium".
Curse the Son is extremely proud to once again be working with Ripple Music for the worldwide release of "Delirium" this Friday!
The record is available on CD and both black and graphite marbled vinyl.
