Label: AFM Records
Release Date: 2nd August 2024
Mister Misery—a name that resonates with both the darkness of heavy metal and the allure of poetic melancholy. Let’s dive into the depths of their self-titled album and explore the sonic tapestry they’ve woven.
From the very first track, “Root of All Evil,” it’s clear that Mister Misery means business. The growls from Harley Vendetta emerge from the abyss, accompanied by Alex Nine’s blistering guitar riffs. And let’s not forget the powerhouse rhythm section—Rizzy on drums and Alex Lister on bass—laying down the foundation for an unrelenting musical journey. It’s like stepping into a storm of sound, where lightning strikes and thunder roars.
“Erzsébet (The Countess)” follows, weaving its gothic majesty. Picture dark castles, velvet curtains, and whispered secrets. You find yourself singing along, caught in its spell. But hold on—the tempest intensifies with “Eye of The Storm.” Banged heads and raised fists—this track is a rallying cry for the legions of Mister Misery fans.
Now, let’s talk about my personal favorite: “Hand of Death.” The vocals inspire, the rhythm drives, and it’s addictive—like a forbidden elixir you can’t get enough of. If they make a video for this, sign me up—I want to see the visual feast that accompanies this ear candy.
“The Doomsday Clock” ticks divinely, its floaty feeling juxtaposed with growls that crawl under your skin. And “Crooked Man” dances with delicious moves and anthemic choruses.
By now, you’re fully immersed in Mister Misery’s world—a place where defiance meets melody.
“Survival of The Sickest” is a tasty morsel of lyrics, sing it loud! And as we approach “Until The End,” the singalong metalathon continues. “Haters” follow suit—blast it through your open windows; let the neighbors wonder.
“Sinner Or Saint” arrives like a manic storm, and “Ripper” slashes through your soul. Old London town echoes in its riffs. Finally, “Dark Legacy” brings us home—a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, dimensions unfolding.
Mister Misery astounds and beguiles. Their place in heavy metal history? Secure.
