Under appreciated death/grind extremists MISERY INDEX have announced The Killing Gods as the title of their forthcoming new full-length. The band’s fifth studio album will hit the stores on May 23rd (May 27th in North America).

Frontman Jason Netherton issued the following update: “After an extended writing and recording process we have finally completed ‘The Killing Gods’. It is the longest, most diverse and most complete album we have ever created, and it represents the blood, sweat and beers of four dudes trying to make the best songs they can. We think we have succeeded and we hope you do as well. Look for this metal beast to drop in May!”

The Killing Gods was recorded at Wright Way Studios in Baltimore, MD and engineered by Steve Carr (DYING FETUS, SLIPKNOT, SOILWORK). The drum parts were tracked with Scott Hull (PIG DESTROYER, AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED) at Visceral Sound in Bethesda, MD.

The band recently announced a special live date as part of this year’s Maryland Death Fest pre-show, on May 21.
