Iceland's Heaviest Export Une Misère Close Out 2023 With New EP Damned

While their more well-known countrymen Björk and Sigur Rós may be aural equivalent of the ethereal, otherworldly beauty of their Icelandic homeland, skin-peeling six-piece Une Misère sit at the complete opposite of the musical spectrum.Kicking off their year with the release of the cracking standalone single 'Misery Lives Forever' - which served as the debut track with new frontman Rúnar Geirmundsson - Une Misère have bookended their 2023 with the dropping of the fresh EP Damned.Housing some of the most suffocating and bleakest metalcore/metallic hardcore possible, the new four track effort from Une Misère shows absolutely no quarter to the prospective listener. Crunching guitars and jackhammer drums fight amongst the waves of shrieking feedback rings and throat-tearing roars - while the Reykjavík natives aren't afraid to add the slightest melodic touches amongst the carnage to keep the listener guessing.Despite the tiny nation of Iceland not having quite the same prolific musical output as their Nordic neighbours, modern titans Une Misère are making serious waves in both home and abroad. Fusing together everything intense in heavy music into a modern, real-sounding package, Damned effortlessly shows Iceland's Une Misère have the legitimate power and passion to pull in metal and -core fans across the globe.Words by Andrew Kapper
