シカゴの悪夢〜ゲイシーがやってくる！ヤァ！ヤァ！ヤァ！
（原題 :
MASTER OF BRUTALITY ）
Whilst Vinum Sabbathi slaves on the surface,Japanease berzerkers Church Of Misery elevated themselves far above the similar millennial hordes with,amongst other things,an un-cliched and groovy retro freak-out aesthetic,an unhealthy interest in serial murder,and a monstrously filthy sound that renders "Master Of brutality" a gloriously gonzo gift from the gods.

（原題 : EARLY WORKS COMPILATION ）
DOOM-METAL.COM says...
It seems that the spring of 1996 was a very creative
period for these doomsters hailing from Japan. Tatsu
Mikami formed Church of Misery in order to create a
special doom nightmare influenced by Black Sabbath and
70s heavy rock stuff in general and even from psychedelic
rock stuff (mostly the German scene with bands such
as Can ,Aon Duul etc). The main lyrical inspiration
of the band was some famous, bloody serial killers.
The band got down to work immediately to record their
debut album which was finally released as a... bootleg,
by accident. However the name Church of Misery was already
a strong topic in all doom metal conversations worldwide.
The legend had already born.
Many official releases have followed with the most important
being the killer album 'Masters Of Brutality' , their
first official full length released through Southern
Lord. This double compilation CD includes stuff released
before 'Masters Of Brutality' album stuff which owing
to the limited edition of the original releases is nowadays
hard to find.
If you haven't checked Church Of Misery out until now,
be prepared for a doom nightmare with heavy and psychedelic
touches, inspired by a distinct 70s feel; electrified
music which is sometimes groovy, sometimes creepy but
always heavy. The band's releases should also be checked
out by stoner rock freaks due to its influences from
psychedelic rock although I believe that the real power
of the band is their creeping doom moments. The lyrics
have mostly to do with famous serial killers and other
similarly bloodthirsty topics. Even the samplers used
during song intros are usually taken from police crimes
reports and similar targets, all of which help enforce
special atmosphere.
This compilation is a great chance for all those that
kept on searching out the limited stuff and for all
those that want to have a clear picture of their music
as they approach it for the first time. 'Retal (Howard
Unruh)', an unreleased song from 2000, is included in
here as well as some killer covers of ? Saint Vitus
('War Is our Destiny' ), Iron Butterfly ('In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida'
), Trouble ('Come Touch The Sky' ), Black Widow ('Accident'
), and Death SS ('Chains Of Death' ). Well worth checking
out! In general, look forward to a massive dose of heavy
/ psychedelic / doom rock, not bad at all!
