The Curse, the Life, the Blood is a best of anthology of the first third studio albums released by Reykjavík-based indie rock band Singapore Sling. The compilation was released in Germany in May 15 2007 by local label 8mm Musik as an effort to increase the band's European exposure and "to prepare Europe for the upcoming live invasion" as "Singapore Sling are currently working on a new album to be released end of 2007"^[1].

In support to the compilation the band -now a quintet including a female bassist- toured continental Europe: Germany, France, Benelux, Denmark, Austria, Italy and Czech Republic in May 2007.

8mm Musik producers have selected 10 tracks, four tracks from The Curse of (2002), four other tracks from Life Is Killing My Rock 'N' Roll (2004) and two last tracks from Taste the Blood of (2005). Some tracks like Heart of Chrome are slightly remixed to fit the compilation track list order as fading was used to merge the opening and ending of each track with each other.

The compilation is available as a CD (8mm002CD) or as downloadable MP3 on various legal platform services in Europe such as Finetunes, Fnac Music or Emusic, it is even available as a vinyl LP (8mm002LP).
