Lift The Curse is back, and they’ve got something powerful to say. “Dark Angel”, the second single from their upcoming fifth album, dives headfirst into that space where love, chaos, and self-destruction collide and the result is absolutely electric.
From the first beat, “Dark Angel” grabs you by the chest. It’s heavy but melodic, emotional but sharp. Jon and Ryan deliver a sound that’s equal parts grit and vulnerability, that signature Lift The Curse balance that hits both your head and your heart. The production feels big and cinematic, like it was meant to echo through a stadium, all while keeping the emotion right up close in your face.

It’s a plea wrapped in darkness: “Dark Angel with your broken wings, come down and rescue me.” You can feel the desperation of two people clinging to each other, knowing they can’t fix one another, but still choosing the fire. “I can’t fix you, you can’t fix me, but I can use you while you use me” might be one of the most brutally honest lines of the year. It’s love without illusions, just raw human connection, messy and magnetic.
The song’s intensity is balanced with soaring guitar work and tight percussion, creating that perfect lift between aggression and melody. It’s a sonic punch, but with layers that reveal more the longer you sit with it. Cody and Marie Brodell star in the music video, adding a visual narrative that amplifies the emotional grit, while Clayton King’s direction brings it all to life with haunting beauty.
