Church of Misery – Filth Bitch Boogie

Church of Misery’s style melds early-era Black Sabbath style doom with psychedelic rock. Like the American death metal group Macabre, most of their songs are about different serial killers. After several releases on small independent record labels, they released the EP Murder Company on Man’s Ruin Records, then moved on to Southern Lord Records to release their debut full length LP, Master of Brutality. In 2004 they released their second full length album, The Second Coming. That same year Japan’s Leaf Hound Records released a compilation of their early works. Most recently they have released three split EPs, two with Sourvein and one with Deer Creek. They have also released a live DVD of their 2005 European tour. Church of Misery have appeared on three compilation tribute CDs to Trouble, Black Widow and Death SS. Church of Misery was also the name of a United States-based band, featuring Impetigo bassist and vocalist, Stevo. www.myspace.com/churchofserialkiller
