Formed by Woundz, Astynax, VX, Monolith and Theutus in late 2000/early 2001 with the goal of creating nihilistic and progressive black metal. The 2 track demo tape 'Funeral Eclipse' was released in late 2001 and was quickly followed by the 'Hated by Matter' itself demo in 2002. During this period the band played a number of live shows within the UK underground scene and began to garner a reputation for putting on cold, hateful performances.
In late 2003, Skaldic Curse entered Astynax's very own Shockwave Studios to record the 'Contagious Psychic Misery' EP which was released in 2004 on Forgotten Wisdom Productions. Soon after this recording, original guitarist VX left the fold and the band continued as a four-piece. Support slots with Enslaved and Lugubrum followed and in mid-2005, the band once again entered Shockwave studios to record their debut album 'Pathogen', which was subsequently released by Forgotten Wisdom Productions.
Early 2006 saw a number of changes within the band line-up - original drummer Theutus left at the start of the year to be replaced by Vermin. In addition, the band returned to a two-guitar line-up with the recruitment of Scapula during this same period. The remainder of 2006 was spent working on newer material culminating in the recording of the follow-up to Pathogen in 2007. Entitled 'World Suicide Machine', this material sees Skaldic Curse build on the twisted, progressive approach to black metal evident on the debut yet taken to even more extreme depths, down darker and ever more warped sonic paths. This recording attracted the attention of Norway's Dark Essence Records (Taake, Helheim, Aeturnus) who subsequently offered the band a deal. 'World Suicide Machine' will now finally be unleashed by Dark Essence in early 2009

Since worldwide crisis with wars and famine are a true human pain, the drunk poor pest-brewing trolls got their good times. Since their pact with the crows their succes became giant.

Expect a mindblowing fast black metal masterpiece with a confronting sound of medieval infecting grief. The whole world is dying.
