#corpseweed

According to the Kübler-Ross model, there exist five Stages of Grief: Denial, Bartering, Depression, Anger and Acceptance. Every person experiences some variation of this after coping with a signifcant loss. GRIEFSCAPES is a concept record loosely based around each stage of Grief, intertwined with themes from a recurring nightmare of Mark Curtis, the one-man artist behind CORPSEWEED. The result is a grim collection of sonic textures and soundscapes that sound and feel like depression, anxiety; like a lucid nightmare.

Corpseweed hails from Boston MA, and characterizes the music as Experimental Metal, although it pulls elements from other genres as well, most notably electronic, jazz and noise.

CORPSEWEED: linktr.ee/corpseweed VIDEO ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=732HJ0xTmA8 "Consider this song an introduction to "GRIEFSCAPES." This song was originally intended to be on the album, but I removed it to better help the "flow" of the record. The melodies are largely improvised, to try and capture a vibe, rather than a more structured song. It's kind of inspired by 90's David Bowie, The Caretaker, and Mick Gordon's Killer Instinct stuff (the throat singing, namely). I will release it as a single on streaming services ASAP ahead of the LP. Thanks to everyone who helped with this project." https://corpseweed.bandcamp.com/album/lucid

CORPSEWEED 

Corpseweed grows in the haunted lands of Duskwood where it has been a mixed blessing. Despite its use in serums that combat the feral symptoms of the Worgen curse, Corpseweed has a negative effect on crops and is capable of killing small children and animals. Many consider it a greater annoyance than is worth.

Like the Bloodpetal of Un’goro Crater, Corpseweed has limited intelligence and can be very hostile. Frustrated individuals trying to cleanse the weed-like creatures from their farms have likened the plants recurrences to unwelcome house guests. Sending pieces of Corpseweed is essentially telling someone that they have long outstayed their welcome.

Furthermore, sending live specimens of Corpseweed is a grave threat that someone has outlived their welcome or usefulness, and that they can expect to be dealt with shortly.
