Misery Index release new song ‘Rituals of Power’

MISERY INDEX have released a brand new song!

The song, titled Rituals of Power, is the title track from the death metal band’s upcoming album, which is scheduled for release in March.

Speaking about the track, the band says, Rituals of Power represents the album’s title track and most musically dynamic offering. We wanted to create something that captured the tension of this modern era; something that conjures visions of civilizational collapse and lost ideals gone astray and embeds them in riffs as monolithic as they are haunting. It is an anthem of hope as much as it is a cautionary tale about the use and abuse of power; an end-times farewell letter from the front lines of history. Turn it up and enjoy the ride…”

6. Rituals of Power
7. They Always Come Back
8. I Disavow
9. Naysayer

Speaking about the album, the band add,Rituals of Power is a disavowal and warning against the consequences of our so-called ‘post-truth’ age. Each of the 9 songs revolves loosely around this theme, yet each track also stands very much on its own. As an album however, they are all brought to life as one ‘reanimated’ monster; it’s roughly 35 minutes of unhinged, yet cohesive, riff-driven aural ballistics. We were pissed off and on fire during both the writing and recording, and we think it shows in spades. We set out to write the best album we could, based on what we would want to hear first as fans of this music, and we could not be happier.”

Rituals of Power is set for release on March 8th via Season of Mist.
