Synopsis

Product Description

If you are into fast and aggressive metal with an authentic and pure vibe The Mirroring Shadow will blow you away. MISERATION take no prisoners by combining the best elements of brutal, technical death metal ala SUFFOCATION, HATE ETERNAL and PSYCROPTIC while paying homage to Scandinavian death metal in the vein of BLOODBATH and old ENTOMBED. Former SCAR SYMMETRY vocalist Christian Älvestam and guitarist Jani Stefanovic (ESSENCE OF SORROW / THE WEAKENING), who started the band together, have the experience and abilities to create a harsh, uncompromising style of metal people will undoubtedly notice.

Following their critically acclaimed 2008 debut album Your Demons, Their Angels , MISERATION are more focused on the brutal side of death metal. There are still strong hook-lines and a lot of melodic riffs, but The Mirroring Shadow is driven by a vicious and extreme attitude and untamed aggression. This is the sound Sweden became known for in the early 90 s and MISERATION fully know about their responsibilities in upholding the true nature of that sound. MISERATION s second album proves that they have the foresight for creating new and brutal metal while being aware of metal s fine traditions at the same time. This is not only what contemporary death metal should sound like but the future of death metal in total.

Amazing!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is my first Miseration album (though since buying it a few days ago, I went back and bought their 1st album, Your Demons-Thier Angels). The members of Miseration have been around the music scene in various bands over the years, and it shows. Chugging along like a well-oiled machine from the second the first track begins, you could believe that Miseration has been playing melodic death metal since its inception. 'Dreamdecipher' is the opening track and, from the blast-beat laden opening through the blast-beat laden end, Miseration pummels the listener with speed and technicality while not losing the melody that gives the genre its name. 'Voyaging the Seas of Thought' is another standout track, though that is not to say that the other tracks aren't remarkable. There isn't a bad second on this album. If you want comparisons, I would say that The Mirroring Shadow fits quite nicely in between Bloodbath and This Ending. My only complaint is that since the album was just released, Miseration won't be putting out a third album for at least a year. Get it! You won't be disappointed."
