The Curse is Here!
PDX Melodic Deathcore
Rising from the post-pandemic miasma of the Pacific Northwest, These Cursed Hands summons forth their particular brand of auditory ferocity. Combining black, death, and progressive metal elements with hardcore brutality they have created a sound that is both crushing and melodic, devastating yet epic. Their siren song can be heard as the mist rises between the pines, heralding the coming of fell omens and evil deeds.
Come and bear witness, for the curse is upon us!
“Forced to Suffer” Video and Single Released 4/17/26
These Cursed Hands is excited to bring you their newest single, “Forced to Suffer”, a particularly brutal track that showcases their heavier side.
