Misery The Early Years LP gathers essential early recordings from the legendary Minneapolis crust punk band Misery, capturing the band in their earliest era of foundational US crust creation. This Misery LP delivers dark, heavy, brooding anarcho-crust with a metallic edge from the band that helped define the entire Profane Existence Collective scene alongside Destroy!, Disrupt, and the wider American crust underground. Misery formed in Minneapolis in 1987 by guitarist/vocalist Al Lethal and Pat (R.I.P.), heavily influenced by Discharge, Antisect, and Amebix. Essential listening for fans of US crust punk, anarcho-punk, d-beat, stenchcore, Profane Existence Records era, and the foundational 80s/90s American crust underground alongside Destroy!, Disrupt, Doom, Amebix, and Antisect.
