When they officially arrived on the scene in 2022, after crawling through Italy’s underground, Miscreance were likened to Death, Sadus, Voivod and other immortal beings who have shaped the alternate timeline that is the history of extreme metal. The band’s thrashing riffs and blistering tempo shifts recall death metal’s golden age, but their upcoming second album, Reminiscence, is far from just another blast from the past.
Today, Miscreance are releasing the third and final advanced single from Reminiscence. On “The Moaning Hill”, the band perform a deadly tech-thrash ritual that shreds through the folds of our reality.
“Through a collective hallucination, a voyage through time led us to discover a moment in human history that was lost”, the band says about the far-out path they took to Reminiscence. “‘The Moaning Hill’ is the site of a murky and feverish dream, where the intertwining of bodies merges with the ravaged sound of percussion. A horrible ritual of deformity and bloodshed await you under the moonlight!”

While recorded in Italy, Miscreance discovered the concept for Reminiscence by sifting through the sands of time. Along with splintering riffs and trippy tempo shifts, the band uncovered a hidden world where jungle-dwelling hunters and digeridoo coexist with strange tongues, telepathic surgeries and a burning celestial corpse. As imagined by Iranian artist Mona Shiraz, the album’s cover art is a modern interpretation of the kind of painting that was all the rage during the Stone Age. “What we’ve created is a ‘lost album’”, Rossignol says. “It comes from an unknown civilization that’s both futuristic and extremely primitive. Through psychic powers and capabilities that transcend earthly comprehension, these primordial extraterrestrials have achieved total neural unity. Yet innate wickedness still lures inside of them, harboring the need for preys, scalps and lust”. Climbing “The Moaning Hill” is not for the faint of heart, but the intricate twists along its perverse path lead to truly sacred pleasures.
“You’ve never known the face of death / But now it becomes yours”, Feltrin growls amidst the many peaks hidden within “Oracle’s Rift”. As the band tear through a torturous passage with ruthless precision, the last thing you see – or hear – is death metal’s future mutating right before our eyes.
With Reminiscence, Miscreance unlock a mind-altering experience of old-school technical death metal.
