Biografie van Misery
Two men behind their synthesizers and one stunning woman behind her mic, enjoying every second on stage. Thatâs what you see when you see Misery live. What you hear? Dark beats, emotive melodies and a beautiful voice telling you about love, life and the misery that comes with it.
Alain is the one who started it all. He founded Misery, with his brother Bert singing and his friend Edwin on guitars. A lot has changed since. Bert was joined by female vocalist Lis. The group made some promoâs. As Misery grew into a band with a very distinctive sound, started to land more gigs, Bert wasnât able to keep up and left.
Lis, Alain and Edwin recorded Miseryâs first album: Nexus. The songs on Nexus consisted of Alainâs electronic symphonies combined with Lisâ voice, that had room to expand to itâs potential now that it was standing alone. All of this was framed by Edwinâs power chords and old school soloâs.
After Nexus was released, Misery played at festivals like Summer Darkness and Terra Gotha and did shows with bands like XP8, Angels & Agony and Welle:Erdball. Alainâs wanting to let electronics get the upper hand in his music coincides with Edwinâs decision to move to Germany. He gets replaced by Maarten.
Still performing regularly, Alain starts to write new material for a new album. Maarten joins in. Together they write eleven songs that are more sophisticated than before, explore greater depths, incredible highs and overwhelming lows. Both literally as figuratively, that is. âObscurus and Luxâ is born.
