One year later, their first release, the EP Unravelled by War (2014) firmly established the sound of the band. The release was soon to be followed by two more EPs; and the debut album “Into the Meat Grinder” in 2019.facebook.com/creepingfleshMisery OathThe embryo of what would become Misery Oath began in the early 1990s. Several members played in Gothenburg metal bands and shared stages with acts such as Dissection, At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity, and Grotesque. This would later put Gothenburg on the map with the "Gothenburg sound.” Many decades later in 2020 Misery Oath was launched. Their music has been described as dark melodic death metal, with a hint of “the Gothenburg sound” and a profound layer of Nordic melancholy. Just about a month after their debut album was released, they won the Wacken Metal Battle Sweden! Which has generated that they play Wacken Open Air and Gefle Metal 2023.facebook.com/miseryoathCHUGGERCHUGGER is an energetic powerhouse that blends Gothenburg's rich metal sound with the groove of the American South.

They most recently took the stage at both the Gefle Metal Festival and Wacken Open Air. The death machine has loaded up with new material in the tank, and if you haven't seen CHUGGER live, it's high time to catch them now.
