UMUR
"Die Miserable" is the 8th full-length studio album by Canadian death/grindcore act Fuck the Facts. The album was released through Relapse Records in October 2011.

The band play a rather extreme death/grindcore style with a mix of high pitched screaming vocals and deeper growling vocals. The band are very well playing and the tracks are rhythmically varied going from blast beats, to groovy mid-paced sections, to heavier breakdowns. The album features an extremely harsh atmosphere and the cold and clinical sounding production further enhances that mood. Each note played are delivered with relentless aggression and a caustic attitude. These guys are angry and it´s heard in the music. The band make use of a lot of dissonance too, and I´m sure this is the kind of album that´ll sound like chaotic noise to the untrained ear, but if the word chaos is to be used, it should me used along side the word structured, because this is very well composed and structured extreme metal. I´m very impressed by the technical level of playing on "Die Miserable".

The band are successful at incorporating atmospheric details to their music, which prevents the album from being too one-dimensionally aggressive and extreme. It´s only short sections of atmospheric playing (I guess even semi-melodic is too far a stretch), but they really give the album room to breathe. At 35:19 minutes "Die Miserable" is a "to the point" type of album, and that suits the band´s extreme music well. Overall the album is very well produced, the playing is excellent, and the songwriting intriguing and relatively varied, so a 3.5 - 4 star (75%) rating isn´t all wrong.
