Ancient Curse biography (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=8502)
ANCIENT CURSE come from Bremen Germany and were formed by guitarist/vocalist Peter PIETRZINSKI (SONS OF SEASONS, ex-POVERTY'S NO CRIME) in 1987. A number of demos were produced and several line-up changes had taken place before the band released its first mini-CD ''Thirsty Fields'' in 1995 through Rave Music. By that time the line-up was stable and along with Gunnar ERXLEBEN (guitars) who was the only remaining member from 1987, Matthias SCHROEDER (drums) and Thorsten PENZ (bass) completed the line-up. The first full album ''The Landing'' was released two years later by Music Is Intelligence (WMMS) and in 1998 ''Thirsty Fields'' was re-released by the same company containing the mini-CD and new material. Another promo CD followed in 1999 entitled ''My Own Universe'' and the band went into hiatus before re-appearing with the same line-up in 2013, composing new material and playing live.
The sound of ANCIENT CURSE will appeal to fans of power/progressive metal from the 90's, reminiscent of bands from the same region and time such as SANVOISEN or VANDEN PLAS but with more focus on heavy guitar riffing.
