Baltimore, Maryland's MISERY INDEX has issued the following update:

"We are happy to say the hibernation has paid off, and we have roughly nine songs in preparation for the January recording of our fourth full-length, to be recorded at Wrightway Studios in Baltimore, Maryland beginning January 2, 2010. These are the guys that mixed and mastered 'Traitors', so we are excited to do the entire project there this time around. We will have more details on that in the coming weeks.

"In the meantime, we are pleased to announce, at long last, our discography collection of splits and EPs, entitled 'Pulling Out The Nails' (after the first song the band wrote). It will feature 30 tracks, and include all non-album material from 2001-2008, including the 'Overthrow' and 'Dissent' EPs, as well as the splits with STRUCTURE OF LIES, COMMIT SUICIDE, MUMAKIL, and BATHTUB SHITTER, the 'Hang 'Em High' 7", live tracks, bonus covers etc. The compilation was remastered by Scott Hull this year, and will be available in January on CD through our own Anarchos Records imprint, and on double vinyl through Power It Up (Germany) soon after. This CD will also include an extensive 24-page booklet of details, notes, pictures, and an all-time list of all the shows we have performed. We hope its the final representation of the various incarnations of the band in the past eight years."

MISERY INDEX has been touring almost non-stop since the release of "Traitors" in September 2008. The follow-up to "Discordia" was recorded in May 2008 at Godcity Studios in Salem, Massachusetts.

The band's video for the album's title track, which can be viewed below, was shot in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with director David Brodsky of My Good Eye.
