Dutch black/death metal powerhouse Misanthropia has inked a deal with WormHoleDeath Records to unleash its earth-shattering fifth album, Envy The Dead, on 6 September. This monstrous offering promises to be a return to form, drawing inspiration from the darkest corners of history and channelling pure sonic savagery.
Misanthropia is no stranger to sonic devastation. For over 20 years, it has carved a path through the metal scene with its unique blend of blackened fury and death metal aggression. Its longstanding partnership with legendary producer/engineer Mike Wead (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond) continues on Envy The Dead, ensuring a potent and punishing listening experience.
"Life back in the day was harsh and ugly, and they bring forth this immense atmosphere that was roaming the streets back then: Jack The Ripper, Lizzie Borden, organ trafficking, necromancy", says the band. "It's a concept album, but each song stands on its own. Drastically reducing the symphonic and orchestral violence on earlier releases, and going for a more progressive death/thrash vibe, influences from Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth can still be heard alongside Necrophobic, Mayhem, and Death."
