MISERY INDEX + MAGRUDERGRIND = LOTS AND LOTS OF DEAD CONCERTGOERS

deadalive face ripped off

I wouldn’t exactly expect Misery Index and Magrudergrind to tour together – MI is a straight-up, no bullshit death metal band, and Magrudergrind, well, isn’t. I don’t see the two bands as having much in common besides that facts that both their monikers start with a letter “m,” and they both rip off faces, eat those faces, shit out those faces, reattach those faces, and repeat.

But, hey, that’s good enough for me! Lambgoat says the two bands will be hitting the road together starting in February. A simple, two-band bill, where the bands don’t sound at all alike and are both awesome? What’s not to love?

    Holy shit. This is awesome.

  • sunpuke

    Who is the idiot who came up with this tour? Not a single Virginia/DC/Maryland date, what’s up with that?

    • yetzer hara

      my thoughts exactly. how the fuck are they gonna have two of the best dc/va/md grind bands on tour and not have a single date close to home? i mean, i know we get to see misery index and magrudergrind more often than other people do, but still… you ‘d think that since both bands are presumably starting this trip from home, that they’d have a hometown show.

      • msv81

        Wilmington isn’t THAT far from Baltimore.

        • sunpuke

          I live in Virginia Beach, that’s quite a drive!

        • yetzer hara

          wilmington isn’t that far from baltimore, but it’s a hike and a half from DC.

          • old skool metal head

            There is hope! While Hampton Roads fans won’t see Magrudergrind, they can see Misery Index at The Half Shell!!

    • B-dizzle

      For fucking real

      I’m sorry but… there’s not one European date on that tour, what am I supposed to say?

  • myke

    nice!! i’ll catch that tour

  • Billy Chapman

    How are they not playing MD/DC?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Byron-Ward/797615124 Byron Ward

    7 Texas dates?? Shit I know Texas is big but fuck me…

  • Future Ruins

    What is that picture from?

    • xCOOCOOKALX

      YOU! go watch “Dead Alive” (braindead outside of US) immediately.

  • msv81

    Fucking sweet! Wilmington here I come.

    Misery Index=Deathgrind, not death metal.

    • http://raiseyerfists.wordpress.com raiseyerfists

      Yeah get it right Axl.

  • WowWee!

    I guess they’re skipping the west with this tour. sucks.

  • d00shc00gr

    SWEET! Gotta catch this at Mac’s Bar. One of Michigan’s best metal venues for sure!

    • http://www.last.fm/user/opeth027/ Kyle

      Indeed!!

  • heebman169

    UGH no california love?

  • 6infinite6hatred6

    I’d go if the show wasn’t FUCKING 17+!!!

    • MetalFingers

      This is bullshit no stop over in Philadelphia.

      • msv81

        Dude, Wilmington is a 15-20 minute train ride from 30th Street Station. Alternatively, it takes 30 mins tops to drive there. I agree it’s not the most convenient thing, but it’s still close enough.

  • http://www.thepathlesstraveledrecords.com Sean

    Aren’t they both on Relapse? Probably has something to do with it.

  • http://www.brooklynvegan.com BBG

    Magrudergrind is on Willowtip

    • http://www.thepathlesstraveledrecords.com Sean

      I thought Relapse just released Unforgivable? My bad.

      • Hassman

        That’s Weekend Nachos

        • http://www.thepathlesstraveledrecords.com Sean

          I get these bands mixed up quite a bit.

    FUCK NO NORTHWEST DATES SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  • DecrystallizingReason

    No MN or WI dates… Not exactly shocking but no less disappointing.

  • Paulina

    Great, no Cali dates but not like I’d expect legit grind acts to come here anyway.

    To the person who wrote the article, these bands have more in common than just names that start with M. Their music tends to deal with socio political issues, pay attention sometime?

    • yetzer hara

      that and the fact that they’re both from the same neck of the woods, share common roots and mutual friends…

  • SonOF

    Awesome tour, and coming to Brooklyn. Sweet.

  • askandyoushallconceive

    dc metal plays together. i have seen them twice together. only big deal is how many 40s to drink.

  • Arti D

    FYI: Cherry Street Station is in WALLINGFORD, CT, not Waterford, which is in a totally different part of the state.

  • ITTOA666

    Did people forget that there are states under new york on the east coast? Come on.
