Miscreance Perform Deadly Tech-Thrash Ritual on New Single “The Moaning Hill

When they officially arrived on the scene in 2022, after crawling through Italy’s underground, Miscreance were likened to Death, Sadus, Voivod and other immortal beings who have shaped the alternate timeline that is the history of extreme metal. The band’s thrashing riffs and blistering tempo shifts recall death metal’s golden age, but their upcoming second album, Reminiscence, is far from just another blast from the past.

“Miscreance has proved they’re not a copy of legendary bands, but they’re a beast of their own”, Infernal TV wrote upon interviewing Miscreance guitarists Andrea Granauro and Tommaso Cappelletti about Reminiscence.

Today, Miscreance are releasing the third and final advanced single from Reminiscence. On “The Moaning Hill”, the band perform a deadly tech-thrash ritual that shreds through the folds of our reality.

“Through a collective hallucination, a voyage through time led us to discover a moment in human history that was lost”, the band says about the far-out path they took to Reminiscence. “‘The Moaning Hill’ is the site of a murky and feverish dream, where the intertwining of bodies merges with the ravaged sound of percussion. A horrible ritual of deformity and bloodshed await you under the moonlight!”

While recorded in Italy, Miscreance discovered the concept for Reminiscence by sifting through the sands of time. The album recalls time-warping virtuosos Atheist as much as technical surgeons Coroner, but it envisions a prehistoric future, where hunting and cave paintings are just as commonplace as the didgeridoo beckoning across “The Moaning Hill”. Anyone who’s faint of heart might not live to see the end of the song’s opening sprint. Its heart-pounding pace is so hellish that drummer Andrea Feltrin is left growling his lyrics in strange, unknown tongues.

“We are all very happy with how our first album turned out but we wanted to go bigger by tying Reminiscence to a specific concept”, Cappelletti says.

Bassist Jean-Claude Rossignol explains further. “What we’ve created is a ‘lost album’, sent from an unknown civilization that’s both futuristic and extremely primitive. Through psychic powers and capabilities that transcend earthly comprehension, these primordial extraterrestrials have achieved total neural unity. Yet innate wickedness still lures inside of them, harboring the need for preys, scalps and lust”.

Old-school heshers will feast upon the orgy of riffs and carnal grooves that Miscreance stack atop “The Moaning Hill”. “We still play old-school tech-thrash”, assures Granauro. But while faithful to their influences, Reminiscence isn’t an attempt to recall death metal’s glory days. As the band push their new single to a climax behind a surge of bloodlust, they unlock a new dimension that leads to tech-trash nirvana.
