Fear, Emptiness, Decibel: Listen to Misery Index Cover Sepultura!
Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel. Here’s managing editor Andrew Bonazelli…
If you’re an old bastard—like the vast majority of the Decibel masthead—celebrating real-life birthdays or anniversaries isn’t so appealing after a while (except for the alcohol part). But special events pertaining to the magazine itself? Shit, we’re only 11! That’s still more or less prepubescent, which is totally appropriate for the music we cover. That’s why we put on increasingly ambitious shows to commemorate milestones like our 50th issue, our 100th issue and our 10-year anniversary. And it’s why, since the Flexi Series turns five with the January 2016 issue (featuring our annual Top 40 Albums of the Year breakdown), we had to do something cool: hence, we bring you Baltimore deathgrind maniacs Misery Index covering Sepultura classic “Primitive Future.”
It’s safe to say these dudes know death metal: MI’s Jason Netherton released his own bound, printed history of the genre last year, which should totally be on your bookshelf alongside our editor-in-chief’s. And come on: they took on the final track on Decibel Hall of Fame cornerstone Beneath the Remains. “Primitive Future” was recorded by Misery Index specifically for the Flexi Series, appearing on seasonally appropriate black-on-orange plastic to honor BTM‘s iconic cover. You can hear this monster below, and acquire the real deal by heading over to our webstore pronto to grab a copy before they sell out.
The January 2016 issue of Decibel can be purchased here, and also features Lamb of God, Baroness, and The Top 40 Albums of 2015. But why not just get a full subscription to ensure you never miss one of these awesome flexis?
