MISERABLE CREATURE - 2 (2021) Cassette

Before 3, there was 2. Miserable Creature's second cassette release is where this Australian death metal project started to really find its footing, dark, deliberate, and uncompromising.

If you've come backwards from the 2023 release, this is the essential dig. It opens with a short intro before unravelling into the kind of dense, suffocating death metal that the Australian underground quietly does better than most. The local scene has long had a thing for the cavernous and the oppressive, and Miserable Creature sit comfortably in that tradition. Stocked through ALT CVLT because this is exactly the kind of Australian release that deserves shelf space somewhere real.

Format: Cassette. Begins with Intro (0:27). Released 2021. Australian release, vendor: ALT CVLT.
