Sulphur arose from the ashes of the nineties black metal act Taakeriket. The band
was originally formed as a four piece, and with this line-up recorded their first
demo; "A Relic for the Damned" in October 2000. This recording earned the band some
initial interest, amongst others a support gig for Aeternus and an appearance at
Hole in the sky 2001. After this, the band fell on some hard times and little
happened for some years.
In 2005 Sulphur re-emerged with new material and a fresh and dedicated
line-up. At this point the band recorded the demo "Outburst of
Desecration". This earned them a deal with Osmose Productions, great
reviews as well as new live appearances, amongst others on Hole in the
Sky 2005. Eager to continue down the road of success and eternal
damnation the band headed back into the studio in March 2006. Again
under the supervision of producer Bj..rnar E. Nilsen which also produced
the Outburst demo. After some intensive weeks the album was finished and
is now ready to be unleashed upon the world, 22nd january 2007.
Div Quotes from different webzines:
. After having listened to the album, once calms returned, concern settles, the shades become animated. The invocation of the beginning ("The Summoning") was probably not only one simple title..

From "The Summoning" to "Master Of Storms" it is a travel through the sick mind of this Norwegian quartet.

. One could state when unique pure hearing that the sound could be differentiate, clearer somewhat more pressureful, which relates itself however after repeated hearing completely the sound fits perfectly

Cursed Madness is Sulphur's official debut full length and it's one of the most impressive releases to come from the Norwegian black metal scene and Osmose Productions in some time.
