On Lift the Curse, New York outfit Freya continue the hardcore-like aggression of their second album's younger sibling As the Last Light Drains, at the expense of sacrificing a majority of the clean vocals that were present; these do appear during the chorus of "Lilith" and "War Pigs", with singing from Karl himself instead of Erick Edwards. The results are nothing to envy about, but the musicianship remains as straightforward and brutal as ever.
