Lift The Curse's latest single, "Violet Violence," the Texas-based rock/metal team throws a gauntlet and contests anyone within hearing not to feel something. And let's be honest: this one will hit you in the chest. Since emerging in a storm in 2022, Lift The Curse, guided by the Tarzanic team of Jon and Ryan, has constructed a sound that's brazenly raw, musical, and meant for the stage. Things are getting opened up with "Violet Violence," seeding the next chapter and their fourth full-length due late spring/early summer 2025.
"Violet Violence" is a grinding interpretation; a beat section is locked in as if it has something to prove. And yet, amid the thunder and heat, there's an unexpected amount of transparency. It is disarray under control outrage in a box. It is the sort of track that slaps hard while still allowing the vocals to come through like a scream on the winds of a hurricane.
"Violet Violence" does not discuss a personal, emotional, or spiritual fight but contains pain, of course, but it's not the kind of pain that puts you on the floor. It's the kind that's converted into fuel. Rage becomes resolved. Damage becomes defiance. And here, in this single and in everything Lift The Curse does, is the spirit Lift The Curse brings.
You'll know this energy goes beyond the studio if you've witnessed these guys in the flesh. It's who they are. Jon and Ryan don't write songs for background noise; they write anthems for people who need to blow off steam and want a little catharsis with their chords. And "Violet Violence" sounds like the perfect mission message, an eruption of all the flame they've been fanning since their last record. When the full record drops in 2025, you'll know exactly how this all began: with a violet storm and two dudes from Austin who were not afraid to burn bright.
