Following previously-released album appetizers, “Candy Cain Murder”, “Starry Eyes”, “Feel the Pain”, the epic album title track and just recently, “Tik Tok (Darkness)”, today, the extraordinary metal collective is premiering a music video for their exceptional, haunting cover version of THE HOOTERS’ classic “All You Zombies”!
“We built our world on noise and forgot to listen,” Curse Of Cain drummer The Mechanic says. “Now, through Rainbow’s voice, the silence speaks — more clear and piercing than ever. And in that quiet, the reckoning breathes.”
The Timekeeper (guitar) adds: “The clocks are quiet now, but their silence screams. This song is not about the past — it’s a warning written in dusk and shadow. We do not sing for comfort. We sing because time demands it.” Vocalist The Soulkeeper amends: “Some souls drift, weightless in denial. This cover holds a mirror to them all. Wrapped in Rainbow’s voice, it’s a lullaby for the blind — and a requiem for what could have been.”
“For once, the voice is mine alone,” Rainbow reveals. “I sing not just to be heard — but to remember. ‘All You Zombies’ is a hymn for the forgotten, a soft cry beneath a crumbling sky. There’s beauty in the sorrow… if you dare to listen.”

Emerging from the enigmatic depths of their unique dimension, Curse Of Cain redefines what it means to be a band. Shrouded in mystery and driven by an unrelenting force they call Movie Metal, Curse of Cain is more than music, it’s an immersive saga. Their narrative weaves together struggles, victories, and the haunting beauty of a dystopian universe, brought to life by a cast of compelling characters.With their forthcoming sonic masterpiece, “Achtung!”, Curse Of Cain elevate their storytelling to a new level of intensity. Each track is a chapter, plunging listeners deep into the trials, transformations, and unity of the band’s personas. This album isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a declaration of resilience and individuality. Themes of defiance, survival, and self-discovery resonate through every riff, breakdown, and melody.
Curse Of Cain doesn’t just perform music; they transport audiences to another world. Their live shows blur the line between concert and theater, with elaborate costumes, immersive lighting, and gripping storytelling. Fans become part of the narrative, stepping into the Curse Of Cain dimension as the band’s characters invite them to join the journey. It’s not just a show, it’s a portal into a rich, otherworldly experience. The band’s inspiration draws from a dystopian, futuristic world scarred by the Red War of 2076. Here, Cain, a shadowy figure, navigates a shattered society teetering on collapse. His story is told through The Band, a group of misfit antiheroes who serve as both musicians and storytellers. By day, they’re a traveling cover band; by night, they’re operatives fighting against parasitic beings known as the “wrecks,” which infest and manipulate human hosts.
Curse Of Cain’s debut album delves into Cain’s past, revealing the events that shaped him and his enduring fight for survival. With “Achtung!”, the narrative unfolds further, showcasing a turning point in their universe, a battle against chaos, a rise against the darkness.
“We are the ones who walk the line between light and shadow, chaos and order,” Curse Of Cain declares. “Through “Achtung!”, we offer a glimpse into our battles and triumphs. This album is not just our story, it’s yours. Together, we defy the darkness.”
With their forthcoming studio album as the next chapter in their epic tale, Curse Of Cain invite you to step into their world, feel the power of their music, and embrace the story of struggle and unity. Welcome to the dimension of Curse Of Cain, and prepare to be transformed!
