Misery Index Sign to Season of Mist

Season of Mist is proud to welcome back Misery Index.

For 25 years, Misery Index have stood out for their high-intensity combo of death metal, grindcore and cutting social commentary. Featuring current and former members of Pig Destroyer and Dying Fetus, the Baltimore band have released seven critically-acclaimed albums, visited 46 countries and performed more than 1,500 concerts, including dates with Morbid Angel, Amon Amarth, Fear Factory, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Deicide and other fellow stalwarts.

Now, as they prepare to release new music from their upcoming eighth full-length album, today, Misery Index are excited to announce that they are returning to Season of Mist ahead of their upcoming European and United Kingdom headline summer tour, which includes appearances at Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze and other major festivals.

“We in Misery Index are mega-chuffed to be back in the cozy, dark embrace of the Season of Mist family!”, the band’s bassist and vocalist Jason Netherton says. “The delicious smell of a classic independent label is both welcoming and intoxicating. Like the minstrels of yore, we wandered into the wilderness for a few years until we found our way back to where we belong. Cheers to great days ahead together!”
