Background information about 'Rituals Of Power'

Misery Index have never been a band to pull punches, and "Rituals Of Power" is yet another bruising chapter in their relentless assault on the senses. This 2019 offering sees the Baltimore death-grind veterans tightening every screw, sharpening every riff, and delivering nine tracks of pure, unfiltered aggression. From the moment the opening track kicks in, you're hit with that signature blend of razor-sharp death metal and hardcore-infused fury that only these guys can pull off with such surgical precision.

The production here is absolutely massive – every blast beat, every guttural roar from Jason Netherton, and every groove-laden riff hits with devastating clarity. Tracks like the title track "Rituals Of Power" and "Decline And Fall" showcase a band at the peak of their powers, seamlessly weaving together technical death metal complexity with the kind of pit-ready breakdowns that make you want to destroy your living room. There's a palpable sense of anger and disillusionment running through this record, but it's channeled into something cathartic and empowering rather than nihilistic. This is Misery Index doing what they do best: making intelligent, brutal music for people who think and mosh equally hard.
