Musically there is an abundance of similarities, and even though production quality differs quite a bit, there is a good deal of passages on the "new Infernum" that might be mistaken for the "old Infernum". Both projects feature the rasping vocals of Anextiomarus, swearing devotion to the horned one with a mighty East European accent, as well as a potent mixture of old school guitar buzz, pounding drums and a healthy doze of keyboards -- all leading to a raw black metal sound with a distinct melodic edge and enough interesting moments to save it from entering the sphere of boredom.

The album has the obligatory utterly spooky intro and outro, plus five fast and mid-tempo tracks featuring the occasional quiet moment of acoustic guitars and not-so-great female vocals -- included in order to create dynamics and underline the murky atmosphere. The quality of the recording is actually quite good, even though lack of production values never scared the "trve" servants of Baphomet; but in this case even they would only benefit from actually being able to hear the separate instruments clearly, thus adding to the overall powerful and even somewhat epic sound of _The Curse_.

Overall this is not a bad album by any standards, and it might even prove to be quite an entertaining listen for all those in love with the Polish underground scene.

In loosely related news, main man Anextiomarus committed suicide some two years ago, adding to the cult status of the band, if not the music itself. Obviously trve as Hell.
