The Sharp Reminder Distant city sounds wailing sirens screaming out Echoes of our madness around every turn The guide posts of life collapse in on themselves Outlines in the trembling fire shake This sunburnt town Going towards a future that does not exist Undoing of the suture You’ll want to be awake for this Counting backwards from seven cold trembling and shaking Conjuring our heaven from the hell of your own making the scars rise to the surface A feeling that your worthless the scars rise to the surface We could all use a little purpose The feeding and care Of your nightmare is their highest priority* Self-inflicted pain keeps them entertained The last aspect takes place When the house is in its final phase So hard to remember for a shadow of doubt… to cold for regret turns this nightmare Inside out. A sharp reminder…. the scars rise to the surface This feeling that your worthless the scars rise to the surface We could all use a little purpose Sharp reminders reemerge… resist your urge the scars rise to the surface We could all use a little purpose Whisper a verse Now Say it in reverse return to form As The word inverts Back on itself Safe and warm return to form Never to harm The scars rise to the surface This feeling that your worthless the scars rise to the surface We could all use a little purpose Sharp reminders reemerge… resist your urge the scars rise to the surface We could all use a little purpose

DEAD FINGERS TALK 118bpm Written by Curse Mackey 12/12/21 Be careful how you move at night in these fabulous cities of light Put your heart in a little black box bury it deep in the darkest sea A quiet casualty hidden from society the backward march from ecstasy Electric heresy Dead Fingers Talk A live of vice and everything nice An apparition of something called heaven for everything you’ll pay the price Dead Fingers Talk All these flowers crushed underneath The night strips us with hands like thieves Night wounds wind toward the sea A last moment, a lost memory Dead Fingers Talk A live of vice and everything nice An apparition of something called heaven for everything They’ll pay the price Dead Fingers Talk Beyond the hurting and the tears falling silently on deaf ears quiet terror. reappears in the mirror reflecting fears Dead Fingers Talk A live of vice and everything nice An apparition of something called heaven for everything We’ll pay the price Dead Fingers Talk Be Careful where you walk Dead Fingers Talk

LACERATIONS Written by Curse Mackey I watched you walk into the fire and yet you did not burn For those who forgot how to dream this is your return Somewhere in this madness We’ve got to carve out some bliss This is an Initiation into the abyss Lets fuck our way through the apocalypse Lacerations Slash across the universe Revelations in reverse We’re all sacrificial! I dreamed you healed the worlds’ grief A graveyard cry of our infinity For those who forgot how to dream This is your divinity Somewhere in this madness We’ve got to carve out some bliss This is an Initiation into the abyss Lets fuck our way through the apocalypse Naked deepening spectacle of pure flesh The consequences of the senses Conscious of the subconscious subconscious of the unconscious …Unconscious…. Lacerations Slash across the universe Revelations in reverse ===========

about

Truth and reality continue to blur. Everyone wears a different mask underneath. All these dreams fracturing.

Curse Mackey’s new full-length album, Immoral Emporium, due out on 09/09/22 is the highly-anticipated follow-up to his 2019 darkwave masterpiece Instant Exorcism.

Immoral Emporium is an intense, dark electronic music experience. Curse emphasizes, “This is a NEW album for modern times, in the here and now.”

True to his word, Immoral Emporium pushes the boundaries of genre with a vast dynamic range, from a tortured whisper to a triumphant howl. The first single, “Lacerations” is a dancefloor stomper with hypnotic vocals, a hard-hitting chorus with wailing synths and bin-shaking beats.

The album moves into poppy, upbeat club territory with the earworm “Dead Fingers Talk,” guaranteed to get everyone moving at your city’s goth/industrial club night.

The buildups are big, such as in “Omens and Monuments”, with monstrous synths that bring Immoral Emporium to a goosebump-inducing, cathartic end leaving the listener looking forward to the future.

The opening track and forthcoming video for “Smoking Tongues” finds Mackey in an immediately engaging, surrealist landscape befitting an Anton Corbjin film setting the stage for a most surprising and forward thinking work.

The album was produced by Curse Mackey and long-time collaborator Chase Dobson (Neon Cities, Tycho, Rufus Du Sol), who also co-produced Instant Exorcism. Contributors include synth wizard Justin McGrath (Nine Inch Nails, Kanga, The Black Queen), and a collab with MVTANT, an exciting new industrial act from Curse’s birthplace San Antonio, Texas.

The album was mastered by Ken Marshall at HiWatt Labs, (Skinny Puppy, Riki, Front Line Assembly).

Immoral Emporium is slated for a September 09, 2022 release and will be supported by a Fall 22’ US tour with darkwave legends Clan of Xymox. Curse was on tour with Xymox in March 2020 when their tour was cut short by the pandemic.

Curse says, “Immoral Emporium was created under very remote, unusual, stressful conditions. This record is a dangerous listen; by the time it reaches the last song, I, as the protagonist, am essentially already dead. As dark as that premise might be, my last words are meant to give hope to the listener, my friends around the world…that you can live to fight another day, knowing you don't have to give in to the fear, pain, and worry. These things will pass and you are not alone."

Curse Mackey’s Immoral Emporium is sure to be a highly welcome entry into the world of dark synth, post-punk, ebm, heavy electronic music.
