Church Of Misery – Born Under A Mad Sign – VINYL 2LP

Description

I first came across Church of Misery when Houses of the Unholy had just released back in 2009. It was perhaps the most American-sounding record I’d ever heard; riffs like roaring Buicks, barking sludge vocals dirty as desert sands dumped in Mississippi waters, not to mention its obsession with serial killers. So imagine my surprise when the formation turned out to be Japanese and were in fact among the country’s first doom purveyors. Though I much loved Houses, the band dropped off my radar since, until I went digging among the recently passed promos and found out we’d collectively missed the opportunity to review Born Under a Mad Sign. Time to rekindle an old flame.
