SickDrummerMagazine.com reports:

(Drummer) Adam Jarvis and MISERY INDEX entered Wrightway studios in Baltimore, MD on January 2nd, to start recording their fourth coming album entitled Heirs To Thievery with producer/engineer Steve Wright. The album is scheduled for release in May 2010 via Relapse Records.

Some insight on the recording process from Adam:

"As always we started with drums first. This time around recording at home allowed me to use some different drums and make to sure I had the best drums for the sound we were going for... HUGE!!! I had help from a good friend of mine; drum tech, JonJohn Michaud from the band "Swarm of The Lotus", and having him involved helped getting the process of finding the right drum sounds fly by, and I tracked 3 songs the first day.

Now for the breakdown of the drums used on Heirs To Thievery: The toms I used on the record are from another buddy of mine, Keith Larson at The Baltimore Drum Company. Sizes used 10",12" and 16" solid Maple shells, with clear Emperor Heads. I used my Ddrum Dominion maple kicks 20"x20" and a hand-hammered brass Worldmax snare 6.5"x14", which is the best sounding snare I have ever used in the studio. We tried out a couple different snare drums and the Worldmax with an Emperor X head had the crack we were looking for! The cymbals I used on the recording were mostly Meinl cymbals, which I have an endorsement with. A lot of times when you get in the studio everything sounds totally different once you hear it recorded... Especially the cymbals. Since I'm a pretty heavy cymbal hitter, they are the most important part of the record(next to the snare of course)."
