Eldur formed the band Thule along with a drummer named Sveinn Snorri Magnússon.
Thule recorded material through the years
but only seven songs can be found officially
on the split demo tape with Asmodeus (sold out). Also two amongst them ended
on a
Icelandic compilation
CD called "Fire and Ice".

That year, after Thule spliting up, Eldur changed the name into Curse and
kept it going
as a solo project. Few months later the first Curse demo was recorded including
6 songs
but one of them got damaged and could not be released. A year before,
Eldur had
formed another band with the creature called Forn, which got the name Potentiam.
1999
This demo however wasn´t released until in ´99 when Eldur had recorded 5 new
songs.
The overall 10 track demo CD-r got the name “Dimensions Of Scattered
Sound And Silence”.
This demo is sold out today in overall 150 copies.

In December ´00, No Colours and Eldur made a deal for 2 Fullength albums and 1
Mini CD.

After the NC promo "Battlefield of the gods", the Mini CD was released entitled
“Cursed be thy name”, including 3
songs.

In the year of '02 No Colours released Curse's debut CD "Dead Sun Rise".
One song from
that album also ended up on a No Colours compilation CD.

The year of '03, Eldur started writing material for
another Curse album but found himself
going far from the Cursed style. The
material ended up as a new solo project called Fortid.
The same year No
Colours rec. released Fortid's debut "Völuspá part I - Thor's Anger".
2004
Eldur recorded a new song called "In life & In death", which
is 19:30 minute long in playing
time. It is was unclear at this point what would be done with this
recording. In september,
two new members, Faun & Mistur came to assist
Eldur and the Curse, and in december
the final member Maddi joined in
making it a full lined up band. Curse ended the year with a
live show
and laying down drum recordings for the next full lenght album
"Slaughter of the stars".
2005
In january, the guitars were recorded for the album. After that, the studio work was
layed to rest for many months for various reasons. I march, Curse recorded two new
songs in studio Hel called "Red is the deepest black" and "Painting the Devil on the wall".
No release plans were set on those songs. It wasn't until very late this year that Eldur
decided to continue the "Slaughter of the stars" album and record the bass himself.
The year ended with the album half-finished.
2006
"Slaughter of the stars" was finally ready early this year and shortly after that
a new
record deal was signed with the
American BLACMETAL.COM records. The album however
was not released until november and by that time, Curse had recruited a
new drummer
named Kristján Einarsson. This new deal also included the release of the 19:30 long
"In life & In death" as a split CD with the Norwegian band Sykdom.
