78. Misery Index - "Complete Control"

And the death metal continues to roll out, this time courtesy of the Baltimoreion legends Misery Index. For 20 years Misery Index have rather effectively spliced traditional death with grind. For the uninitiated grind is death metal’s feral younger brother. It has no truck with any journey towards respectability and instead is quite happy to sit in the corner and play with his own faeces. “Complete Control” is another collection of nasty, gnarled semi-formed treaties on the state of the world. It’s vicious, jagged, and highly effectively concise. The whole thing is done and dusted in 33 minutes, leaving you battered and bruised but rather partial to go another round.
