Zwei Jahrzehnte nach ihrer ehrwürdigen Karriere melden sich die Baltimore-Death-Metaller Misery Index mit ihrem neuen Album „Complete Control“ zurück, das am 13. Mai 2022 weltweit über Century Media Records veröffentlicht wird.


 

„Complete Control“ wurde von Will Putney gemischt, von Jens Bogren / Fascination Street Studios gemastert und mit einem Artwork von Matt Lombard versehen, das oben zu sehen ist.

MISERY INDEX Bassist/Sänger Jason Netherton erzählt:
„We are super stoked to present our new album ‘Complete Control’ – a pandemic-spawned 9-track opus of vitriolic death metal which draws heavily on our enduring brutal hardcore and grindcore influences. We tracked the album in September and October of 2021, and it was subsequently mixed by Will Putney prior to being mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street studios. The cover features the visceral, uncanny work of visual artist Matt Lombard, which to us hammers home the contradictory forces of control and chaos which define our modern age. The album’s central lyrical themes focus on these competing forces of control and chaos; they interrogate ‘power’ as something that is not always wielded with brute force in the modern age (through violence), but moreso as a control-society where it manifests on a self-governing, individual level. ALSO, we are looking very much forward to hitting the road again this year! Starting with a run of dates with our old friends Origin and Wolf King in North America, leading into festival appearances, a West Coast US tour and an EU headliner coming later this year. Until then, see you all soon and keep hammering the nails!“.

„Complete Control“, das siebte Studioalbum und Century Media-Debüt von MISERY INDEX, ist ein riffgetriebener Angriff, der die Spannungen der modernen Zustände einfängt und in 9 Songs mitreißenden Endzeit-Death Metal kanalisiert. Voller Orwellscher Invektiven und messerscharfem Songwriting ist „Complete Control“ ein dringend benötigter Hammer ins Gesicht; ein Weckruf für die Unzufriedenen und Besitzlosen.
