\u201cOnly on rare occasion do the stars align to deliver a ripping assault of such extraordinary magnitude.\u00a0Get your tickets, come out with your friends, and get blasted to bits,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0states MISERY INDEX about the forthcoming North American tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MISERY INDEX recently announced their signing to Century Media Records and are thrilled to add to their legacy at their new label home. The band have established themselves as a stronghold for outspoken, politically charged lyrics and savage yet surgically precise metal. They have released six studio albums, several EPs and have performed well over 1.000 concerts in 44 countries to date. Stay tuned for more news on MISERY INDEX in the next few weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When their debut EP,\u00a0Overthrow<\/em><\/strong>, was recorded in 2001 by vocalist and bassist\u00a0Jason Netherton<\/strong>\u00a0(ex-DYING FETUS<\/strong>) together with (then) guitarist and vocalist\u00a0Mike Harrison<\/strong>\u00a0and drummer\u00a0Kevin Talley<\/strong>\u00a0(ex-DYING FETUS<\/strong>), MISERY INDEX immediately charted a course to explore and push the limits of Death Metal and Grindcore, drawing influence from bands like\u00a0MORBID ANGEL, NAPALM DEATH, TERRORIZER, BOLT THROWER<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0ENTOMBED<\/strong>. The erstwhile project shifted to a full-time band when guitarist\u00a0Sparky Voyles<\/strong>\u00a0(ex-DYING FETUS<\/strong>) joined. In 2003, MISERY INDEX unleashed their first full-length\u00a0Retaliate<\/em><\/strong>, to exceptional reviews and followed by numerous support tours and festivals in Europe and North America. After several line-up changes, the second album\u00a0Discordia<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0was released in 2006, the first to feature current drummer\u00a0Adam Jarvis<\/strong>\u00a0and guitarist\/vocalist\u00a0Mark Kloeppel<\/strong>, with even more touring in its wake. Their third full-length,\u00a0Traitors<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(2008) reaped raving reactions from both critics and fans and saw the band on the road again until 2009. Then MISERY INDEX dropped\u00a0Heirs to Thievery<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(2010) like a bomb on the death metal masses, shattering all expectations. The album was both a commercial and critical success, elevating the band to headlining slots. During that year, long time guitarist Sparky Voyles was replaced by\u00a0Darin Morris<\/strong>. In 2013, the band released its first live album,\u00a0Live in Munich<\/em><\/strong>, which perfectly epitomized the rawness and ferocity that MISERY INDEX elevated onto a new level with their fifth full length\u00a0The Killing Gods<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, MISERY INDEX released\u00a0Rituals of Power<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and proved once again that the group is as furious as ever. Featuring the singles \u201cNew Salem<\/strong>\u201d, \u201cNaysayer<\/strong>, \u201cThe Choir Invisible<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cHammering the Nails<\/strong>\u201d the album was the band\u2019s highest charting and best-selling release to date. Last year, the band did an EU headlining tour with support from\u00a0Wormrot<\/strong>\u00a0and then a US tour with\u00a0Nails<\/strong>\u00a0in the summer. At this time, they also released the single \u201cZombie Prescription<\/strong>\u201d (Snapcase cover) via New Noise magazine\u2019s flexi series. In February 2020, the band hit the EU again on the month long \u201cCampaign for Musical Destruction<\/strong>\u201d in support of\u00a0NapalmDeath<\/strong>, along with\u00a0Eyehategod<\/strong>,\u00a0Rotten Sound<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Bat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
