Cursebinder have put out Prayers For The Living, Flowers For The Dead, the second song to come out ahead of Psychohazard. Avantgarde Music release the album on 23 October and it is the Krakow band's second.

Eight tracks: Limits, Death Season, The Astronaut, Saturnine Rage, this one, Made to Be Sold, Naked City and Under the Skin. The Astronaut, at six minutes fifty one, was the first piece out and is the longest on the record. Metal Storm files the band as post black metal; Metal Archives has it as black metal with themes of nature, the cosmos and personal subjects, which between them describe the same thing from inside and outside.

They formed in 2019 and have moved quickly for a band with four members who go by initials. A self titled EP came in 2020, two singles and the first album Drifting in 2023, and this is the follow up. The line up is LS on bass and effects, MK on drums, HF on guitars and MP on vocals, who added synthesizers in 2023.

Avantgarde Music, the Italian label that has spent thirty years on the stranger end of black metal, took them on for this one.
