Changing vocalists is no easy task, but it’s one that Une Misère are managing with ease. The Icelandic band came onto our radar a few years ago with their pulverizing 2017 mixtape 010717 and even more punishing 2019 album, Sermon, but since then, the six-piece have traded frontmen, and new song “Misery Lives Forever” — premiering today (February 22nd) — is serving as their grand re-introduction.
Produced by powerhouse metalcore boardsmith Will Putney, the song showcases freshly-minted screamer Rúnar Geirmundsson’s utterly ferocious vocal attack, which blends perfectly with Une Misère’s heavy-as-ever breed of neck-snapping, breakdown-riddled metalcore.
Dark, cold and powerful, “Misery Lives Forever” is a helluva song, and you can hear it above via YouTube.
