A lot of bands in Grindcore Genre keep the songs short, and Misery Index does several two minute tracks. They are also able to stretch things out, and their four and five minute songs have enough diversity and are sufficiently compelling to hold the listener's interest. This "Traitors" Cd was the last know full length studio album by these Baltimore's Grindcore master - Misery Index - released under well known label - Relapse Records in November 2008.
Contains 11 tracks, this album shows the band evolving into the full-formed killing machine that their earlier material only hinted at. This album also a thought-provoking package. In the liner notes, Netherton accompanies each song with a famous quote. For example, there's Albert Einstein's "Never do anything against conscience" line, and Nietzsche's oft-cited saw about gazing into an abyss. Such invocations could come cheaply, but they match the songs. Backed by some of the most scathing anti-government, anti-religion and anti political lyrics I’ve read, Traitors amounts to an insurgent, musical coup d’etat against the current state of affair in the US. Urgent and violent but with a calculated sense of purpose, Traitors delivers 11 anthems of rebellion and tangible disgust with the current state of things.
From the opening intro/instrumental We Never Come in Peace you can tell this one will tear you to shreds. It's a slow and heavy opening before Theocracy comes crashing out the gates. Once the guitar slide and blast kick into mack 3 you know this is gonna be good. Severe brutality awaits you. Guitars grind, drums detonate and the band's furious vocal onslaught rail against a world aflame. What more you expect? Just grind your head then..
