“Miséricordes” is a long, exhausting walk through barren darkness. With disturbing rawness and stunning mastery, frenchman Thomas Bel, acting under the pseudonym MISERY, floods the shadowy regions of the ambient sound space. Between dark ambient soundscapes, field recordings and relics of black metal the sound artist unfolds his diffuse-abstract dystopias, creating a 40-minute trip slightly reminiscent of LOCRIAN. In its sophisticated rawness and gloom, this album could well be a dubbing of E. Elias Merhiges classic “Begotten”.
“Miséricordes” has been released by French label Blwbck as BLWBCK019 on C40 tape in June 2012 and can be streamed in its entirety on Bandcamp.
