Synopsis: I really enjoyed the two previous Miseration releases, both of which were decent examples of melodic death metal, so I thought it a pretty safe bet that their latest, "Tragedy Has Spoken", would be along similar lines. Unfortunately this isn't the case and I find this a difficult album to take to, despite quite a few listens. It is certainly far more aggressive and technical than its predecessors, not a bad thing in itself, however the songs just don't stick in the memory and, as a result, it is difficult to fully enagage with the music. Miseration are still very good at what they do, and there are certainly some tracks that work better than others, but overall I found "Tragedy Has Spoken" somewhat disappointing.
