Church of Misery bring dark clouds to North America
Church of Misery, Japan’s finest doom export, has once again confirmed new dates for their North American tour. After the government shutdown, countless consulate delays, and some behind-the-scenes gymnastics at Tone Deaf Touring worthy of Olympic gold, Church of Misery is now slated to begin their tour next Friday in Toronto, ON. The tour will feature support on select dates from Wizard Rifle, Saviours, Bloody Hammers, and Against the Grain.
“Thy Kingdom Scum”was written and recorded by Tatsu Mikami, Junji Narita, Ikume Kawabe, and Hideki Fukasawa and features the return of the band’s original vocalist, Hideki Fukasawa. The album has been praised as one of the best doom releases of 2013, with Decibel Magazine declaring it has “some of the wickedest doom grooves since Black Sabbath 40 years ago…it’s resounding proof that no one right now-not even the reunited Sabbath with a newly wound-up Ozzy-can come close to the gargantuan swing of the mighty Church of Misery.” Terrorizer Magazine adds that “Thy Kingdom Scum” is a “very welcome return of Hideki Fukasawa on vocals (and synth too)…reaching Anselmo-like drawling lows…”
