Misery Loves Co's debut album crashed like a bomb in the hard rock world when it was released in 1994 and the group quickly became one of the world's most talked about new acts. In Sweden, the Grammys nominated record was acclaimed by a unanimous critic and the group made a bunch of celebrated gigs.
But it was above all the borders of the country that Misery Loves Co. became a hot name with its intrinsic industrial metal. In connection with the band's first visit to London, for example, Expressen was in place and noted on the flyer that the duo, which then consisted of Patrik Wirén and Örjan Örnkloo, was "England's hottest rock stars." And still the record is considered a classic within the genre. When Kerrang! several years later, listed the 100 best metal records of all time, Misery Loves Co. was one of the few Swedish names that found a space in the list.
The record was released on vinyl in the UK in 1995, but has long been impossible to get hold of - until now... On September 27, in conjunction with the record celebrating 25 years and the legendary record label MNW turning 50, Universal is releasing the record on vinyl again in a limited edition of 500 copies.
Another great news is... there will be more Misery Loves Co. music coming at the end of November when a brand new album will be released (the first in 19 years!) And in 2020 both more gigs and more releases are expected. In other words, this is a great opportunity to rediscover a real metal classic.
We, at Beatbuzz Records are honoured to have 150 copies out of the 500 limited pressing available exclusively for the UK via our website and a handful of selected partners and stores. After releasing the band’s two comeback singles “Would You?” and “Suburban Breakdown” on a limited 7” double A side edition in March is such a pleasure to partner up again with this iconic band and with Universal and MNW for this release.
