Century Media Records è orgogliosa di annunciare la firma a livello mondiale dei veterani del grindcore made in USA
MISERY INDEX. Formati nei primi anni 2000 i MISERY INDEX sono diventati un punto di riferimento del metal estremo, col loro sound granitico, chirurgico e feroce, sei album, numerosi EP e oltre 1000 concerti all’attivo in più di 44 paesi. Da oggi la band è ufficialmente parte del roster della label tedesca.
“Siamo molto entusiasti di poter pubblicare il prossimo album coi nostri amici di Century Media. È un’accoppiata eccellente per questo nuovo capitolo!” – MISERY INDEX
“Quando cominciai a lavorare in Century Media i MISERY INDEX furono una delle prime band che suggerii, subito dopo la release di “Overthrow” su Anarchos Records, l’etichetta di proprietà della band stessa. Ora, molti anni dopo, posso ritenermi soddisfatto. Benvenuti in Century Media Records!” – Philipp Schulte, Director Century Media
I MISERY INDEX sono attualmente al lavoro su quello che sarà il settimo album, previsto in arrivo nel 2021 nell’anno del ventesimo anniversario della band. Inoltre la band presenterà il 4 settembre 2020 uno streaming show in partnership con Revolver Mag. Lo show è quello registrato il 6 marzo scorso durante il tour “The Campaign For Musical Destruction” con Napalm Death, Eyehategod, Rotten Sound e BAT:

About MISERY INDEX:
When their debut EP “Overthrow” was recorded in 2001 by vocalist and bassist Jason Netherton (ex-DYING FETUS) together with (then) guitarist and vocalist Mike Harrison and drummer Kevin Talley (ex-DYING FETUS), MISERY INDEX immediately charted a course to explore and push the limits of Death Metal and Grindcore, drawing influence from bands like MORBID ANGEL, NAPALM DEATH, TERRORIZER, BOLT THROWER and ENTOMBED. The erstwhile project shifted to a full-time band when guitarist Sparky Voyles (ex-DYING FETUS) joined. In 2003, MISERY INDEX unleashed their first full-length ‘Retaliate’, to exceptional reviews and followed by numerous support tours and festivals in Europe and North America. After several line-up changes, the second album “Discordia” was released in 2006, the first to feature current drummer Adam Jarvis and guitarist/vocalist Mark Kloeppel, with even more touring in its wake. Their third full-length, ‘Traitors’ (2008) reaped raving reactions from both critics and fans and saw the band on the road again until 2009. Then MISERY INDEX dropped ‘Heirs to Thievery’ (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 Darin Morris. In 2013, the band released its first live album, “Live in Munich”, which perfectly epitomized the rawness and ferocity that MISERY INDEX elevated onto a new level with their fifth full length “The Killing Gods” in 2014.
In 2019, MISERY INDEX released “Rituals of Power” and proved once again that the group is as furious as ever. Featuring the singles “New Salem”, “Naysayer, “The Choir Invisible” and “Hammering the Nails” the album was the band’s highest charting and best-selling release to date. Last year, the band did an EU headlining tour with support from Wormrot and then a US tour with Nails in the summer. At this time, they also released the single “Zombie Prescription” (Snapcase cover) via New Noise magazine’s flexi series. In February 2020, the band hit the EU again on the month long “Campaign for Musical Destruction” in support of Napalm Death, along with Eyehategod, Rotten Sound and Bat.
