In February 2016, MIZERY – comprising guitarists Anthony Quiroz and Taylor Parker, vocalist Jose Gonzales, drummer Cayle Sain, and bassist Mike Salazar — took over The Pit Studios in Van Nuys with Taylor Young (NAILS, TWITCHING TONGUES, ROTTING OUT) to record Absolute Light, the album delivering ten bruising and infectious tunes, where the hard edge of the band’s music contrasts tastefully with the poetic lyrics, influenced by spiritual topics and philosophical questions. Featuring guest vocals by David Wood (DOWN TO NOTHING, TERROR), Dan Weinraub (DOWNPRESSER), and Anthony Herrera (TAKE OFFENSE), Absolute Light was mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk (POWER TRIP, WAR HUNGRY) at Solomon’s Gate’s in Philadelphia, and features cover artwork by Sam Octigan (IRON MIND, WARBRAIN, OUTSIDERS CODE).
