Release Notes:

From the Land Of The Rising Sun come these not so jolly
murder-obsessed Sabbath freaks, Church Of Misery. Here with
their third full-length studio album Houses Of The Unholy,
they join forces with cult British label Rise Above Records.
Born back in 1995 out of a love of early 70s Hard Rock and
traditional Doom Metal, Church Of Misery set about assaulting
ears and minds the world over with their notorious dedications
to some of the sickest known serial killers in modern history;
Denis Nilsen, Jeffrey Dahmer and Richard Ramirez to name but a
few.

This combination of disturbing lyrical imagery infused with
their frantic brand of Wah Wah driven Acid Metal conjures up
images of a latter-day Manson Family sitting around in
blood-spattered tie-dye contemplating their next sinister
move. Whereas other left field Japanese rock bands such as
Boris, Melt Banana, Galhammer, Boredoms and have managed to
achieve a reasonable amount of media coverage and live status
on European shores over the past couple of decades, the
activities Church Of Misery seem to have remained encased in a
morgue of confusion and mystery.

With the exception of Master Of Brutality (the debut
full-length album originally released in 2001 on Southern Lord
Recordings) most of the band's previous releases are extremely
scarce, available only in obscure outlets on equally obscure
labels. Now, with worldwide distribution, solid touring and
the right marketing, a newfound status is pretty much
guaranteed.

Highlights from the album have to be the epic closer Badlands
and the utterly infectious Blood Sucking Freak. We are also
treated to a throat-wrenching rendition of Sir Lord
Baltimore's 1970 classic Master Heartache.

Big players in the Japanese underground, Church Of Misery
members operate on various sidelines. Both Mikami and Negishi
are members of Hardcore Rock n' Roll act G.A.T.E.S. in
collusion with Masahiro Futatsugi, guitarist with Crustcore
band LIFE and ex-Slogg drummer Fukawa. Another project of
Mikami's is Sonic Flower, a 70s influenced Hard Rock band
featuring Bucket -T drummer Katarao. The bassist has also
teamed up with Industrial band Long Dream Dead. Negishi is
also busy with Coffins, a side band featuring members of
Sludge band DOT(.).

For their collective main band however, Houses Of The Unholy
is finally here, at last giving you the first real chance to
discover the glorious delights of this blood curdling eastern
enigma.
