Artist History Misercordia's roots reach back to a time before 'goth' was goth. To the days of dark melancholy Modish Punks that grew fascinated with the likes of Leonard Cohen and the Doors, thrilling to the Vampyre in all of us, drinking deep of the strange and electric feelings of freedom brought about by staring into the Abyss.

Group Members Shade, lead singer and motivating force is rounded out by an ever-changing compliment of players known and the Fates and Furies. Bringing a mix of melancholy the absurd and romanticism, Shade brings a depth of music and lyrics ironic in that they are identifiable.

Instruments You name it, we'll do it. If we want it and don't have the player we can always summon.
