May 9, 2012, 12 years ago
MISERATION have revealed the first new song entitled 'Stepping Stone Agenda' taken from their upcoming third album Tragedy Has Spoken, which can be found under the link below:
According to a press release, the theme of the third album of these Scandinavians can be described as sum of the major tragedies of mankind’s history. Lyrics for Tragedy Has Spoken have been written by Pär Johansson (SATARIEL, TORCHBEARER, THE FEW AGAINST MANY) and band’s lead singer Christian Älvestam (also in SOLUTION .45, TORCHBEARER, ex-SCAR SYMMETRY), and address the diversity of tragedies. Some of which have taken the guise of accidents or natural disasters, while others were carried out with human hands and intent. Behind all this there is to find an imaginary architect, a fictive entity – something powerful, aware, far above the manmade concepts of good or evil: the nature of tragedy itself.
Tragedy Has Spoken was recorded using eight-string guitars, which gives the wall of distortion a certain distinctive flair. In addition, Miseration are incorporating folk instruments such as the Indian harp Esraj, the Persian hammered dulcimer Santur, sawblade, organ, mandolin and piano, as well as Mongolian throatsinging. Music and lyrics are globally and far beyond standard practice, so there is a lot to discover.
The cover artwork for Tragedy Has Spoken has been created by well-reputed artist Pär Olofsson (IMMORTAL, ABYSMAL DAWN, IMMOLATION, THE FACELESS).
