Misery Loves Co is a duo from Sweden (Patrick Wiren and Orjan Ornkloo)
that plays danceable industrial music with heavy metal overtones.
Their mixture of gothic, aggro and techno is glorified on
Misery Loves Co (Earache, 1995) winks at
Pantera and Metallica
(My Mind, Need Another One)
while worshipping Nine Inch Nails
(Happy, Private Hell).
The intensity of Kiss Your Boots and The Only Way
is worthy of Godflesh.
Abandoned the excesses of that style, the duo settled for a more psychological
approach on Not Like Them (Earache, 1997), that belongs to gothic rock
more than it does to industrial music.
No surprise, then, that Your Vision Was Never To Share (Earache, 1999)
sounds like Bauhaus and
Killing Joke, a series of depressed
horror litanies (The Drowning Man, When Everything Dies).
On the other hand, the desperate tones of Your Vision and No Exit
ring with the devilish malice of
Type O Negative.

Misery Loves Co è un duo svedese
(Patrick Wiren e Orjan Ornkloo) che suona musica industriale ballabile dai toni
heavy metal. Il loro mix di gotico, nu metal e techno
è glorificato da Misery Loves Co (Earache, 1995), che strizza l'occhio a
Pantera e Metallica (My Mind, Need Another One) mentre venera i Nine Inch Nails
(Happy, Private Hell). L'intensità di Kiss Your Boots e The
Only Way è degna dei Godflesh.
Abbandonati gli eccessi di quello stile, il
duo decise di adottare un approccio più psicologico in Not Like Them (Earache,
1997), che appartiene al rock gotico più che alla musica industriale.
Non sorprende, quindi, che Your Vision Was Never Mine To Share (Earache, 1999) suoni come i Bauhaus e i Killing
Joke, una serie di litanie depresse dell'orrore (The Drowning Man, When
Everything Dies). D'altra parte, i toni disperati di
Your Vision e No Exit squillano con la diabolica malizia dei Type O Negative.
