Porl King used to record under the Rosetta Stone moniker but for a few years now he has used the Miserylab name.
Being the work of one man it's a very singular sound but worth exploring.



The first Miserylab vinyl was made available in January featuring two of his best tracks from the recent Void Of Life album. Whilst we wait for the vinyl to be pressed, Porl included an exclusive 5 track download with every order called the Somewhere Between EP. The first track Say What We Mean has a great melody and Porl's vocals improve on each release. The use of a drum machine can be restrictive and it does mean tracks can begin to sound similar. Lyrically as with all miserylab releases, there is a lot of anger and despair at the modern world and the song Too Big To Fail is a diatribe against the banking system.

The bonus track on the EP is an 8 minute version of People which was a highlight of the Void Of Life album. With a really strong chorus and a great low slung bass driving it along it's one of the best Miserylab songs out there.

On the website, Miserylab offer a whole host of free track to download if you are intrigued to know what it all sounds like -  http://www.miserylab.com/
