Misery Index

Misery Index is an American death metal band known for their blistering riffs, pounding rhythms, and sociopolitically charged lyrics. Formed in 2001 in Baltimore, Maryland, the group was established by bassist and vocalist Jason Netherton after departing from the influential band Dying Fetus. Joined by guitarist and vocalist Mark Kloeppel, drummer Adam Jarvis, and guitarist Darin Morris, Misery Index quickly built a reputation for their aggressive sound that merged elements of death metal with an intense grindcore aesthetic.

Over the years, Misery Index has released several full-length albums and EPs, gaining them a devoted following among fans of extreme metal. Their confrontational, thought-provoking music speaks to the disaffection and strife of contemporary society, tackling themes of power, corruption, and resistance. With releases like "Rituals of Power" and "The Killing Gods," the band has maintained a consistent presence in the metal scene, known for their technical proficiency and relentless live performances. The titles such as "Complete Control" and "Strategies of Manipulation" continue to showcase Misery Index's dedication to crafting music that is as intellectually stimulating as it is sonically punishing.
