MISERY INDEX have released a lyric video for “Your Pain Is Nothing”, taken from the upcoming vinyl reissue of their landmark 2001 debut EP, “Overthrow”, due on December 15, 2026, via Time To Kill Records. Originally self-released on CD through the band’s own Anarchos Records, the EP stands as an early statement of their distinctive fusion of death metal, grindcore and hardcore, driven by relentless intensity and sharp social commentary.
Frontman Jason Netherton comments:
“‘Your Pain is Nothing’ is a deep cut classic we decided to push forward for this timely 25th anniversary rerelease of our debut EP ‘Overthrow’. It’s a longer track that weaves through blasting verses and an even more epic chorus, standing out as a favourite track among many old school fans. We are stoked to present it now on this restored and specially mastered for vinyl version, out soon on Time to Kill Records!”.
A defining release in the early evolution of modern death-grind, “Overthrow” captured the raw energy and uncompromising vision of a newly formed band destined to become one of the genre’s most influential names. Across five relentless tracks including a blistering cover of Terrorizer‘s “Dead Shall Rise”, MISERY INDEX forged a sound that fused death metal, grindcore and hardcore with sharp social commentary and unrelenting intensity.
Originally self-released on CD through the band’s own Anarchos Records, the EP has remained a cornerstone of extreme music history for more than two decades. Now, Time To Kill Records proudly brings this essential release back to vinyl, faithfully preserving the ferocity and impact of these historic recordings. The vinyl edition also features 3 bonus tracks recorded by the band a year after the “Overthrow” release (which appeared on the 2002 split with Commit Suicide).
For the first time the recording is also mastered for vinyl by Virtalähde Mastering.
Tracklist:
Side A 1. Manufacturing Greed 2. Your Pain Is Nothing 3. Blood On Their Hands 4. Pulling Out The Nails 5. Dead Shall Rise (Terrorizer cover)
Side B (Bonus Tracks) 1. My Untold Apocalypse 2. Alive? 3. Reality Distortion
Jason Netherton adds:
“It’s been a long time since we released this back in 2001 yet it’s awesome to see how much of an impact it’s had, and its staying power has been inspiring – we often get requests for these songs to this day and we are stoked that it’s finally getting the proper treatment with a fresh vinyl master from Time to Kill”.
After 25 years, Misery Index continue to stand tall at the forefront of extreme music. The band, which features current and former members of Dying Fetus and Pig Destroyer, started 2026 off strong by re-signing to Season of Mist. Now, as they prepare to embark on a headline tour of Europe and the United Kingdom, the firebrands are unleashing their first new single in four years. While still the product of their high-intensity combination of death metal and grindcore, “Feral Future” answers the call of the wild.
“‘Feral Future’ is about changing the way we think about our relationship with nature”, Misery Index bassist and vocalist Jason Netherton says. “Nature isn’t something we rule over or exist outside of. It’s something we are immersed in everywhere all the time. This song champions the rewilding of damaged and corrupted human spaces and reclaims a more feral connection that respects the sublime wonder of nature”.
On “Feral Future”, Misery Index keep their social commentary razor-sharp. The band’s new single was one of the very first songs written for their upcoming eighth full-length and its untamed energy helped shape the album’s thematic core. Adam Jarvis pounds his drums until they’re one with the dirt while Mark Kloeppel and Darin Morris sharpen their axes into a filthy headbanging groove.
“This is our future”, Netherton growls during its final blood-pumping sprint. “Feral Future” might be a grim warning for the fate of our planet, but for Misery Index, it’s a sign of more greatness to come.

Misery Index previously released Live in Munich (2013), The Killing Gods (2014) and Rituals of Power (2019) with Season of Mist. The Killing Gods and Rituals of Power are available now through the label’s web shop.
Misery Index started as a studio project in 2001. Vocalist and bassist Jason Netherton (ex-Dying Fetus) joined guitarist Mike Harrison and drummer Kevin Talley (ex-Dying Fetus) to record their debut EP Overthrow. The considerable praise heaped upon this five-song death/grind attack led Misery Index to become a full-time band with the addition of guitarist Sparky Voyles (ex-Dying Fetus).
In 2003, Misery Index released Retaliate, their debut full-length, on Nuclear Blast Records. “I can’t see how anyone who likes death metal and grindcore wouldn’t like this record” Lambgoat wrote. The band followed the success of their debut with numerous tours of North America and Europe while supporting Dying Fetus, Amon Amarth, Deicide and Nile. Between 2004 and 2005, current guitarist and ex-Cast The Stone Mark Kloeppel came aboard while Pig Destroyer’s Adam Jarvis took over on drums, which solidified their lineup for years to come.
Discordia, Misery Index’s second full-length, was released on Relapse Records in 2006. “Discordia is an enjoyable listen primarily because Misery Index have learned how to write great riffs” Last Rites wrote. A seven-week tour of Europe with Fear Factory followed, along with the band’s first appearance at Hellfest and Tuska Open Air.
For their third full-length and second with Relapse, in 2008, Misery Index recorded with Kurt Ballou (Converge) at God City Studios. “These polarized times call for constructive discourse. But if Misery Index can destroy the opposition six ways ‘til Sunday, so be it”, Pitchfork wrote in a review of Traitors. For the next two years, the band toured extensively. They supported Cannibal Corpse and The Black Dahlia Murder and performed for the first time in Mexico, Russia and Iceland, while also making their debut at Japan’s Extreme the Dojo festival and Germany’s Summer Breeze.
2010’s Heirs to Thievery, which was also released on Relapse, dropped like a bomb on the death metal scene, shattering expectations. “As Netherton and his band insist, now is not the time for complacency, even in the metal community”, PopMatters wrote. The album’s critical and commercial success elevated the band to headliners in the United States and Europe. Following the departure of Voyles that same year, guitarist Darin Morris joined Misery Index and solidified the 4-member lineup that still stands today. Over the next two years, they made their live debut in Colombia, Thailand, Indonesia and Malayasia and supported the US and European legs of Cannibal Corpse’s Torture tour.
While performing in Munich in 2012, Misery Index recorded their first live album. The band released Live in Munich with Season of Mist, whom they originally signed with in 2013. They went on to release two critically-acclaimed and top-selling albums for the French label. “Impressively heavy, expansive and loud”, Metal Injection wrote about The Killing Gods (2014). Rituals of Power generated an equally reverential response. “[…] an exemplary execution of death in 2019”, New Noise wrote.
Two European headline tours, including one with Wormrot, and support runs with Nails and The Black Dahlia Murder kept them on the road until February 2020. On the final day of their month-long Campaign for Musical Destruction European Tour with Napalm Death, Misery Index announced that they had signing to Century Media Records. The label released their seventh studio album in 2022 to widespread acclaim.
“Misery Index is a band for the hellish news cycle we are all trapped in”, Invisible Oranges wrote in a review of Complete Control.
Now, having toured their previous album extensively since 2022, Misery Index are back with Season of Mist ahead of their upcoming eighth full-length album. The band released their first new single in four years, “Feral Future”, ahead of their An Epitaph for Endtimes European and United Kingdom summer tour.

Season of Mist is proud to welcome back Misery Index.
For 25 years, Misery Index have stood out for their high-intensity combo of death metal, grindcore and cutting social commentary. Featuring current and former members of Pig Destroyer and Dying Fetus, the Baltimore band have released seven critically-acclaimed albums, visited 46 countries and performed more than 1,500 concerts, including dates with Morbid Angel, Amon Amarth, Fear Factory, Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Deicide and other fellow stalwarts.
Now, as they prepare to release new music from their upcoming eighth full-length album, today, Misery Index are excited to announce that they are returning to Season of Mist ahead of their upcoming European and United Kingdom headline summer tour, which includes appearances at Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze and other major festivals.
“We in Misery Index are mega-chuffed to be back in the cozy, dark embrace of the Season of Mist family!”, the band’s bassist and vocalist Jason Netherton says. “The delicious smell of a classic independent label is both welcoming and intoxicating. Like the minstrels of yore, we wandered into the wilderness for a few years until we found our way back to where we belong. Cheers to great days ahead together!”

Don’t miss Baltimore Death Metal savants MISERY INDEX as they continue to promote their latest album Complete Control on their next run of European dates this Summer…
Baltimore Death Metal savants MISERY INDEX have recently released their newest album “Complete Control” worldwide via Century Media Records, which managed to enter the official album sales charts upon release in Germany on # 23, in Switzerland on # 35 as well as in the USA as follows: Current Hard Music Albums: # 7, Heatseekers Albums: # 119, Top New Artist Albums: # 12 and Current Album Sales: # 100.
MISERY INDEX continue to promote the new release with a series of recently launched playthrough videos:
“Complete Control”, the 7th studio album and Century Media debut for MISERY INDEX, was mixed by Will Putney, mastered by Jens Bogren / Fascination Street studios and features artwork by Matt Lombard. “Complete Control” is a riff-driven assault that captures the tension of the modern condition and channels it into 9 songs of ripping end-times Death Metal. Spewing with Orwellian invective and razor-sharp songwriting, “Complete Control” is a much-needed hammer to the face; a wake-up call for the disaffected and dispossessed.
