MISERY INDEX have just released a first track from their upcoming album "Rituals Of Power". You can check out ‘New Salem’ right here. The album will be released on March 08, 2019 via Season of Mist. The band issued the following comments on the track: "’New Salem’ sums up perfectly the lyrical vitriol and musical dynamics featured across "Rituals Of Power". We wanted to introduce the album, not just with a straight-ahead ripping tune, but with a smack to the face; it’s a wake up call for any concerned citizen and a code red for civilization. Ugly times call for stark and uncomfortable statements, and ‘New Salem’ castigates the faults and ineptitude’s of our broken media system and the Crucible-esque, witch-hunt culture it fuels." In March / April 2019 MISERY INDEX will be touring Europe in support of the new album together with WORMROT and TRUTH CORRODED.
