Dutch Black/Death Metal powerhouse MISANTHROPIA has inked a deal with WormHoleDeath Records to unleash their earth-shattering fifth album, ‘ENVY THE DEAD’, on 6th September 2024. This monstrous offering promises to be a return to form, drawing inspiration from the darkest corners of history and channeling pure sonic savagery.
MISANTHROPIA is no stranger to sonic devastation. For over 20 years, they’ve carved a path through the metal scene with their unique blend of Blackened fury and Death Metal aggression. Their longstanding partnership with legendary producer/engineer MIKE WEAD (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond) continues on ‘ENVY THE DEAD’, ensuring a potent and punishing listening experience.
“Life back in the day was harsh and ugly, and they bring forth this immense atmosphere that was roaming the streets back then: Jack The Ripper, Lizzie Borden, organ trafficking, necromancy.” says the band “It’s a concept album, but each song stands on its own. Drastically reducing the symphonic and orchestral violence on earlier releases, and going for a more progressive Death / Thrash vibe, influences from Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth can still be heard alongside Necrophobic, Mayhem, and Death.”
MISANTHROPIA toured and played the last years intensively, domestically and abroad, under the banner of Eternal Rock Music Agency, and still plans to continue doing so.
