During the summer they got hold of former Candyflip 666 drummer Günter Back, guiratist Jesper Friis from Flipside and AAO guitar player Mululu.
In spring 2001 they recorded a promo, which gave them jobs and good PR. In early 2003 they recorded their first full lenght album, “Reggae da Nation”
During 2004, they entered the “Emergenza festival”-contest, and made it to the finals. They also entered the “Livecontest.dk” where they made it to the semis.
In June 2004 they appeared on the compilation cd “stem svin”. Later that month their favorite negro HP Mululu left the band, and was replaced by hard-rocker Mads Schaarup.
In 2008 Blunt released their second album, Ten Ton Reggae Machine
A new EP, Pass the Budd, was released in 2009.

The video clip of their first Single release is what brought Blunt to national fame in 2006. Their style, by them defined as the Alternative beach Sound is a mix of alternative rock, melodic punk, reggae and jazz. The lyrics are oriented to cause social consciousness through a very poetic and deep way.

Curse
Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
mix it with some alligator blood
and some mistletoe
I take a bottle of rum
and some rays from the sun
and some voices that come from beyond
And I put a curse on everybody here
I put a curse on everybody here
that you be a slave to the reggae
Can you feel the heat sizzling in your blood
when I'm casting spells with my black magic rod
just like a snake you try to change your hide
when you hear the sound of my voodoo jive
and you feel your feet move without control
and you feel the devils taking over your soul
so let the madness begin
your bones dance out through your skin
and give in to the reggae sin
And I put a curse on everybody here
that you be a slave to the reggae
I put a curse on everybody here
that you be a slave to the reggae
And you know that you're in it
when you can't distinguish between night and day
And you feel the music come to life
and see the spirits come out to play
The dead rise from their graves
and start to dance in the moonlight
even after death you're still a slave
everybody feel alright
You can feel the weight of the mountain high
You can feel the wind when the eagles fly
You can feel the pain when the children cry
but only in the music will you feel alive
And I put a curse on everybody here
that you be a slave to the reggae
And I put a curse on everybody here
that you be a slave to the reggae
Slave to the music
Slave to the reggae
Slave to the rhythm that flows in your blood
Blunt's song "Curse" is a unique and intriguing composition that incorporates elements such as mysticism, voodooism, and reggae music. The lyrics describe a ritualistic process of creating a curse using unusual ingredients such as the left foot of a dead crow, alligator blood, mistletoe, and rum, along with chanting voices from beyond. The singer casts an enchantment "with his black magic rod" that controls the listener's body, making them dance uncontrollably to the reggae rhythm, as if in the grip of a sinister spell. The song appeals to the idea of music as a powerful force that can exert control over the listener's actions and emotions, offering an escape to a magical world dominated by reggae music. The lyrics describe the music as a curse, which is simultaneously liberating and enslaving, and an escape from the harshness of mundane existence.
The lyrics of "Curse" provide a window into the complex and enigmatic world of mystical traditions and beliefs. They invoke the concept of folk magic and the use of spells and curses as a way of influencing reality. The song suggests that reggae music possesses the power to create a hypnotic trance-like state in listeners, where the rhythm can take hold of the body and soul of the listener, making them a slave to the music. It is interesting to note that "Curse" is not a typical reggae song, as it incorporates a range of elements and sounds from a variety of musical genres such as blues, rock, and folk, along with Jamaican rhythms. This makes the song a unique and singular artistic expression of the power of music in a mystical and magical sense.

I take the left foot of a dead crow
I use an unusual ingredient in my spell-making
mix it with some alligator blood
I mix it with another rare ingredient
and some mistletoe
And add another ingredient for good measure
I take a bottle of rum
I add some alcohol to the mix
and some rays from the sun
I add the element of fire
and some voices that come from beyond
And I add some supernatural element to it
And I put a curse on everybody here
And with this recipe, I cast a curse upon everyone present
that you be a slave to the reggae
That they will be under the influence of the reggae music
Can you feel the heat sizzling in your blood
Do you feel the excitement and energy building up?
when I'm casting spells with my black magic rod
As I cast my spell using supernatural powers
just like a snake you try to change your hide
You try to resist the spell and change your behavior
when you hear the sound of my voodoo jive
But the sound of my music is too strong to resist
and you feel your feet move without control
Your body starts moving involuntarily
and you feel the devils taking over your soul
You feel possessed by evil spirits
so let the madness begin
Embrace the craziness and enjoy the spell
your bones dance out through your skin
Your body starts moving uncontrollably
and give in to the reggae sin
And completely surrender to the reggae music's influence
And you know that you're in it
You realize that you are under the spell's influence
when you can't distinguish between night and day
When you lose track of time
And you feel the music come to life
As the music becomes more vibrant and energized
and see the spirits come out to play
As you start to see supernatural beings
The dead rise from their graves
As the supernatural beings include the undead
and start to dance in the moonlight
As they start to move and dance to the reggae music
even after death you're still a slave
Even the dead cannot escape the curse's influence
everybody feel alright
And everyone present feels thrilled and euphoric
You can feel the weight of the mountain high
You can feel the power of Mother Nature
You can feel the wind when the eagles fly
You can feel the freedom and excitement of flying
You can feel the pain when the children cry
You can feel the suffering and pain of others
but only in the music will you feel alive
But only through music can you truly feel alive and energized
Slave to the music
Under the spell of the reggae music
Slave to the reggae
Under the influence of the reggae music
Slave to the rhythm that flows in your blood
Completely controlled by the rhythm of the music

There is a lot of interesting takes and opinion on the post I'm not being able to share, even if I link or I type the title.
In the end my Striker is sitting at 1472.50 with:
Grudge3
Ambush3
MassInc3
RaidCpt3
Adrenaline2
Flurry1
Stats (counting passive bonuses)
Crit 550
Spec 350
Swift 1340
I'm having quite the fun and the success!
MassIncrease is a very underrated engraving imho, and kinda mandatory on this class (Flurry only obviously).
The negative atkspeed debuff is quite removed from the equation from your high swift and your self buffs with LightWhisper and SkyShatteringBlow. Not even counting the Yearning support set buff that remove it kinda by itself.
Don't forget also that Mass is +18% dmg increase instead of the common +16 from most other dmg engravings.
I dropped CursedDoll for Raid captain because Doll doesn't scale perfectly with Mass.
And Raid as well is +18% instead of 16.
Not counting the negative healing thing, but whatever about that.
You could argue that RaidCpt is not always maxed out (remember it's 140% bonus mvn speed).
With the Swiftness I mentioned, i have around 23ish% mvn speed. +3% with Vernese Vine food from Peyto bartender you should always consume.
So you are at 26ish%, far away from the 140.
Yearning set comes in once again, bringing you 34ish%. With 3.50% from feast buff, you are basically at 140%.
Anyway all of this is basically not important because you always throw SkyShatteringBlow before your rotation, and the self mvn speed buff from this is already enough to go over 140% (lvl5 tripod needed tho, also handy for the duration).
People could argue that having your counter always on cooldown (cause you want to spam this for the buff) could be a thing, but I don't agree.
Hope this gives you a different point of view!
For me was a very fun theorycrafting moment.
Only thing i can complaing about is a little low Crirate, sitting around 74ish% while in Back and under LightWhisper.
This is without LostWindCliff, I always put this out from my builds calculation cause sooner or later he's going aways. I'm at 15 LoS for example, and I'm not lucky).

I have pretty similair stuff, I done multiple tests with:
3x grudge/Ambush/Deathblow/Adrenaline/Cursed doll
vs
3x Grudge/Ambush/Deathblow/Adrenaline/KBW
and in trixion I come out with 6.1mil on the first and 6.4mil on the second and its not like I done couple of runs, but more like 50 each.
And in every run KBW outperforms cursed doll. + you dont have the healing negative which helps out a bit as well if you are not experience with new mechs.
While ye this can be a different story when you drop the card set, but when will this happen? in 6months at best if you are lucky and farming cards.
By the time you drop the card set, you will need to change your gear anyway. So, In my honest opinion KBW is still superior in our stage of the game.
Later on in the future this might change, but for now I am sticking with KBW
Questionable Name
4:53 This is a very good point. It is not always good to trade a big chunk of survivability for a small % of damage.
Ideeem
It's not complicated, if you go from 255 to 305 dmg it's less of a jump than going from 200 to 250. That being said, I didn't choose my 7/7 stone, the stone chose me : it dropped and it got cut 7/7. If that saves me 200 pheons, I'll gladly turn a blind eye.
dang
it call work on what you have man. stone cutting is crazy expensive, it a pheon burner if you keep have to buy your stones and fail too many time.
Kanima
And that's totally fine.. Its not like using this is a negative, just not the best damage gain option but could still be 2nd best.

i did like running keen blunt instead of barricade as Red gunlancer because i found it easier and cheaper to build. But after looking at your video i wonder if i should change 3/4 of my item to remove keen blunt for barricade in my 5 by 3
atm i got: grudge lone knight (legendary) , super charge master brawl keenblunt
Semper Lucere
hey, for cursed doll, can u talk more about it and the side buffs ? Like did the pally buff boost other party members cursed doll ? Or only self buff/boss buff can buff our cursed doll ?
Max Raafat
Always love when you explain stuff that I already now, since you also explain intricacies of it that I didn't know. :)
Inori
In NA/EU, for my Surge blade, I opted for Keen Blunt instead of Cursed Doll.
Reason being that, although Im getting 1%-ish less damage, I also run adrenaline, so cursed doll would never be the 16% promised.
Not to mention that KBW scales better, because if I have a 10%/18% crit synergy in my party, my dps potential is higher than it'd be with Cursed Doll.
Also avoiding the penalty is nice, but I dont mind it either. I chose it just for the potential dps increase, and since I run in a static with a Wardancer, it's optimal for my case and its the best dps engraving after Grudge.

@Inori Okay, that makes more sense after all... I have never heard if Surge is in fact additive, as it works via the buff bar, but Ether Predator does work the same I guess. Surge is already a weird engraving with its exponential dmg per stack - as someone tested it to be. I'd argue atk power that's additive would be reverse exponential in dmg output but it doesnt work out like that..
Inori
@Vic W again surge gives 1%atk power per stack, so cursed doll paired with surge and Adrenaline wont give that much either (Will give around 14%)
