Cursed formed amid a harsh Canadian winter somewhere 'twixt 2001/2002. With one half of the band (R.Moumneh and C.Colohan) living in Montreal and the other (C.McMaster and M.Maxymuik) in and around Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario. Moumneh, relocating briefly to Lebanon, temporarily left the band. In his absence, bassist Tom Piraino took his place, playing on all three official Cursed recordings. Returning to Canada, Moumneh returned to the band in late 2003 as a second guitarist, adding unspeakable new amount of volume and fullness to the already deafening mix. In late 2004, Cursed parted ways with bass player Tom Piraino. Into the fold stepped Dan Dunham, a veteran noise/thrash musician and friend to the band both personally and musically, and whose band (Shallow North Dakota) Cursed members had played with since their teenaged years.
