Upon their successful sophomore full length “Absence”, Mist of Misery is offering a series of two mini albums this year. First EP “Shackles of Life” was released a few months ago, and now the Swedish melancholic symphonic black metal group is on the way to unshackle the 2nd offering from the series — The EP “Fields of Isolation”.

With two consecutive critically acclaimed releases – first the sophomore full length “Absence”, followed by a mini album “Shackled of Life” –within two years, Mist of Misery is moving towards bestowing another mini album upon their listeners at the end of this year.
“Fields of Isolation”, the upcoming mini album, is the second chapter of a series of two mini Eps (first one is Shackled of Life) created between the beginning of 2016 and the mid 2017 as a way to bridge the gap between “Absence” and the upcoming new album (scheduled to be released in 2018). The EP is the very last release of the band to feature guitarist Erik (Phlegathon). Erik took this decision because of being busy with recording and writing for the new Hyperion album.
Mist of Misery continues walking along the route of crafty musicianship with the inclusion of mournful keyboard passages, propped up with stunningly prepossessing guitar melodies and smooth-running blast beats. The existence of different layers of desolated and aggressive vocal deliveries at the same time has magnified the epicenes of the overall atmosphere. Serene, ethereal instrumental parts of the EP are likely to take the listeners to a transcendental realm.
