UMO's EP *CURSE* perfectly captures the troubled spirit of our times. Inspired by 1970s and 80s Italian horror films, the six tracks on this record offer a listening experience that is as cathartic as it is impactful. The band alternates between abrasive Black Sabbath-inspired riffs on "BOYS WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WOLVES" and more subtle and complex guitar work on "DEATH COMES FROM THE SKY," a track that perfectly illustrates the style UMO has mastered since its beginnings. With *CURSE*, UMO offers an ideal soundtrack for confronting the void, blending intensity and instrumental virtuosity in a short yet memorable format.
