"Thy Kingdom Scum" was written and recorded by Tatsu Mikami, Junji Narita, Ikume Kawabe, and Hideki Fukasawa and features the return of the band's original vocalist, Hideki Fukasawa. The album has been praised as one of the best doom releases of 2013, with Decibel Magazine declaring it has "some of the wickedest doom grooves since Black Sabbath 40 years ago…it's resounding proof that no one right now-not even the reunited Sabbath with a newly wound-up Ozzy-can come close to the gargantuan swing of the mighty Church of Misery." Terrorizer Magazine adds that "Thy Kingdom Scum" is a "very welcome return of Hideki Fukasawa on vocals (and synth too)…reaching Anselmo-like drawling lows…" CHURCH OF MISERY Wizard Rifle (11/24-12/6), Saviours (11/27-12/6) Bloody Hammers (11/1-11/23), Against the Grain (11/1-11/23) 11/01 Chicago, IL Ultra Lounge 11/02 Rock Island, IL Rock Island Brewing Co. 11/03 Grand Rapids, MI Pyramid Scheme 11/04 Indianapolis, IN Beale Street Live 11/06 Pittsburgh, PA 31st St Pub 11/07 Syracuse, NY Lost Horizon 11/08 Toronto, ON Hard Luck 11/09 Ottawa, QC Mavericks 11/10 Montreal, QC IL Motore 11/11 Providence, RI AS220 11/12 Brooklyn, NY Saint Vitus 11/13 Richmond, VA Kingdom 11/14 Baltimore, MD Otto Bar 11/16 Atlanta, GA EARL 11/17 New Orleans, LA One Eyed Jacks 11/18 Austin, TX Mohawk 11/19 Dallas, TX Club Dada 11/22 Tempe, AZ Yucca Tap Room 11/23 Los Angeles, CA The Satellite 11/24 San Diego, CA Soda Bar 11/25 Fresno, CA Audie's Olympic 11/26 Santa Cruz, CA The Catalyst 11/27 Oakland, CA The Opera House 11/29 San Jose The Blank Club 11/30 San Francisco, CA Thee Parkside 12/01 Sacramento, CA Harlow's 12/03 Seattle, WA The Crocodile 12/04 Portland, OR Rotture 12/05 Bellingham, WA The Shakedown 12/06 Vancouver, BC The Rickshaw Theater 12/08 Calgary, AB The Palomino 12/09 Edmonton, AB The Pawn Shop 12/10 Saskatoon, SK Amigos 12/11 Regina, SK The Exchange 12/12 Winnipeg, MB The Zoo 12/13 Fargo, ND The Aquarium 12/14 Minneapolis, MN The Triple Rock 12/15 Milwaukee, WI Cactus Club http://www.metalblade.com/churchofmisery http://www.churchofmisery.net
