True to their signature energy and rich tones, drenched in tension and melancholy, “Payback from God” dives to the heart of the moment, questioning and reflective of turbulent times.
It’s the first glimpse of the band’s new album, coming January 23 via Pelagic Records. Pre-orders will be available November 19.
New Miserable Experience are a Philadelphia-rooted collective that reshapes heavy-music rigor into expansive, melody-forward songs through alternative synth-rock. What started as a file-trading collaboration between vocalist/bassist David Grossman (ex-Rosetta) and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Mahesh Kost (Model Prisoner) expanded into a full band that now includes Rosetta drummer Bruce “B.J.” McMurtrie Jr., technical metal bassist Brett Bamberger (Revocation), and guitarist Brody Uttley (Rivers of Nihil).
Each member of New Miserable Experience contributes a distinctive sonic fingerprint. The vocals act as the emotional center, delivering lines that feel confessional and immediate; synths and guitars are constructed with shimmering arpeggios and decisive motifs; percussion and production choices blend groove and tension within electronic nuance; and bass work often functions as a countermelody, lifting refrains and anchoring transitions. Together, the five players emphasize careful craft over spectacle, shaping a song that rewards patient listening.
