Misery Index

Many bands use society and cultural events as inspirational material for their songs, but few bands have chosen an entire economic theory as the inspiration behind their name and the content of their songs. Misery Index isn’t like most bands though. This deathmetal band from Baltimore, Maryland is a group not afraid to criticise the status quo or structure of our modern society, and do it with flair within their music.

Misery Index’s sound and style contains elements of grindcore and hardcore punk, which lends a real badass tone to their music. Watch Mike Harrison as he thrashes his guitar and you’ll see some damned impressive instrumental mastery. This band is as musically sharp as they are politically astute.

At a Misery Index gig, expect to see throngs of head-banging, fist pumping fans totally getting into the music and loving what this band is doing. “Thrown Into the Sun”, “Conjuring the Cull” and “Traitors” are all face-meltingly epic songs that provide just a small snapshot of what this band is capable of. To discover the extent of their epicness, you really just have to go and see them live.

Several years ago I had the opportunity to attend a concert Mysery index in Lviv, Ukraine. It was very cool. And now I have a new opportunity to attend the gig Misery Index. Yes, even with Hate Eternal pile up. Look at the link as it was at that time in Lviv.

Amazing! These guys ripped the place apart! Loved every second of it. Will definitely go see them again. However, Crepitation's blend of slam/pigsqueal metal did not impress me at all. Warpath (Irl) were pretty good though.
