Comunicato stampa:
I MISERY INDEX continuano a promuovere il loro nuovo album “Complete Control”, pubblicato in tutto il mondo tramite Century Media Records all’inizio di quest’anno, lanciando un nuovo video per il brano “Rites of Cruelty”. Guarda il video creato da Chris Joao / Iron Elephant Studio:
Il commento del bassista e cantante Jason Netherton:
“Questo video è un grido sincero a tutti i fan di MISERY INDEX che hanno fatto lo sforzo di venire a far casino con noi quest’estate durante il tour del nostro ultimo album. Questo video è un omaggio ai bei tempi dell’estate passata mentre entriamo nei mesi più bui dell’autunno. Abbiamo scelto la traccia ‘Rites of Cruelty’ in quanto riteniamo che incarni tutta l’energia e l’incazzatura del nostro nuovo album. È diventata un punto fermo del nostro live set e spero che anche voi la apprezziate.”

“Complete Control”, the 7th studio album and Century Media debut for MISERY INDEX, was mixed by Will Putney, mastered by Jens Bogren / Fascination Street studios and features artwork by Matt Lombard. “Complete Control” is a riff-driven assault that captures the tension of the modern condition and channels it into 9 songs of ripping end-times Death Metal. Spewing with Orwellian invective and razor-sharp songwriting, “Complete Control” is a much-needed hammer to the face; a wake-up call for the disaffected and dispossessed.
