MISERABLE CREATURE - 3 (2023) Cassette

Australian death metal doesn't get the global attention it deserves, and Miserable Creature are exactly the kind of band that should be on your radar if you've been sleeping on the local scene.

3 is the third release from this Australian act, and the title's bluntness suits the music, no frills, no apologies, just methodical, crushing death metal doing what it does. There's something deeply satisfying about a band that knows exactly what they are and commits completely. This one was stocked and sold through ALT CVLT, so you're supporting the local underground directly when you grab it. Australian death metal on cassette is a niche within a niche, and that's exactly the point.

Format: Cassette. Track: Dead End Crawl (and others). Released 2023. Australian release, vendor: ALT CVLT.
