Church of Misery (チャーチ・オブ・ミザリー, Chāchi obu Mizarī) is a Japanese doom metal band from Tokyo, formed in 1995.[1] Church of Misery's musical style melds early Black Sabbath-style doom with psychedelic rock;[2] most of the band's songs are about serial killers and mass murderers.[3]
The band has gone through many line-up changes, with bassist Tatsu Mikami being the sole constant member throughout the years.
