True that the title of the next Church of Misery full-length is And Then There were None, but the reality of the situation is there is one left, and that one is Tatsu Mikami, the mastermind and lone-remaining founder of the long-running Japanese doom outfit. Tatsu is the principal driving force in the band and has been all along, and as he’s been through one lineup after another, his latest has brought him to the East Coast of US, to Maryland — where else? — where he’s recorded with drummer Eric Little (Earthride) and guitarist David Szulkin (Blood Farmers) for the first time, with Chris Kozlowski at the helm at his Polar Bear Lair studio.

The only question left to answer was who would be singing on And Then There were None, and today the band has provided the answer in the form of Scott Carlson, the vocalist of grind pioneers Repulsion and former bassist of Cathedral (if that’s not enough cred for you — and it should be — he also played in an early incarnation of Death). Carlson has finished laying down vocals in Los Angeles for Church of Misery‘s And Then There were None, and the album is due for release through Rise Above Records in 2016.

I don’t know what the hell to expect from this record, but it’s going to be doomed. Announcement from the band follows:

Scott Carlson (Repulsion, Death Breath, and ex-Cathedral) finished recording the vocals for the 5th album titled “And Then There Were None…” which is expected next year on Rise Above Records.

The vocals were recorded and engineered by Bruce Duff at Kitten Robot Studios in Los Angeles, CA.
Lineup for Church of Misery “And Then There Were None…” is:

Tatsu Mikami : bass
Scott Carlson : vocals (Repulsion, Death Breath, and ex-Cathedral)
David Szulkin : guitar (Blood Farmers, The Disease Concept)
Eric Little : drums (Earthride, ex-Internal Void)
