Taking all of the best elements of their two previous albums and distilling them to an even more potent grade, Misery Index have come out with a modern death metal masterpiece that those who live on the extreme fringes of the sub-genre are sure to eat up and ask for seconds. Naturally it doesn’t quite reach the level of sheer brilliance that was achieved by this outfit on 2006’s Discordia and its immediately follow up Traitors, but it more than does justice to this band’s impressive 21 year legacy. It may not seem it given the gargantuan levels of sheer brutality that adorn each track, but it ranks as one of the more well-rounded albums to come out of the style and listens best as one continually flowing, 34 minute long song. The subjects covered by Netherton’s Chris Mullen-like low tone barks might prove polarizing to some, but wherein the auditory contents of this raging storm of sound is concerned, it’s the kind of climactic brutality that any self-respecting fan of death metal will want to get behind.
