“this is fucking pissed off hateful stuff, Misanthropic existence,

aaaaaaaaaaarghhhh, now this is some fucked up shit. They sound like

black metal should, it sounds like getting run over by a tank over and

over again. I can’t compare this to anyone, its really just fast and

hateful extreme black/grind metal. I want these guys to release a full

length, we need more bands like this, this is in my view what black

metal is about. give these guys a record deal somewhere and let them

record a full length. 9/10"” — Blackmetal Sammath, AbsoluteHell webzine



Misanthropic Existence formed in the dying end of 2011 with one goal in mind:

To create the most sinister, aggressive, extreme and blasphemous music that they, as a traditional drums and guitar led metal band could.

   In those early days of the bands inception the founding members Lord Hypocrisy and CymbalRapist found it very apparent that between them and their many influences through extreme music, Black Metal, Death Metal, Thrash, Grind, Doom and everything else in between, it was to be a very interesting fusion and blend, a cauldron of sorts, with all influences being thrown in to make a unique sound, one which belongs to no one set genre, so the band turned to describe their sound merely as 'Hellnoise.'

   2 short and very productive months in, they were ready to record a demo, it was for the tracks 'Verisimilitude' and 'Monetary Mausoleum,' turning their sights towards this they worked alongside a friend of theirs, a sound engineer going by the name of 'Simon Vaka' who would produce and record the demo tracks at his then abode. The tracks were venemous and fast, bitter and hateful, dealing with lyrical content themed around misanthropy, humanity, spirituality, nihilism, death and self empowerment.

   The band was pleased with the results, and Lord Hypocrisy began work on a themed music video for the track 'Monetary Mausoleum' for visual and audible propaganda sake. Various press interviews began, airtime was granted for the band over local and international online radio, and the band set out to once again record with further material. Two more original tracks were recorded with Simon Vaka, 'Humanicide' and 'Illusory Manifest Reality' and upon hearing of the passing of Urgehal and Beastcraft guitarist 'Alastair Trondr Nefas' passing in the year 2012, the band recorded a cover of one of his tracks 'Satanist' by Beastcraft. The original tracks were released as part of a seperate small Ep featuring re-recordings of the bands first demo plus 'Humanicide' and 'Illusory Manifest Reality' saw life as a one off studio track and single release for free download, The cover track 'Satanist' was submitted towards the international Alastair Trondr Nefas tribute compilation CD entitled 'THE BEAST AWAKENS' and was picked to feature on it, and subsequently released.

   The band began to perform live, with what they called their 'rituals' and it was from the strength of their first performance sharing the stage with Infanticide of Sweden, they were asked to play a show for Halloween for Terroriser magazine in London. The band performed this show, and it was a very succesful event and appearence for the band. After performing live locally between periods of personal hell, absence, financial struggles, health declines, line-up changes (bassists had came and gone) and various other struggles within personal life, the band began to withdraw from the public arena, and began to work in secret at the new location, 'Misanthropic Manor.' two years of hard work pass with much new material created in hiding, and the band are at this current time looking towards fixing a date to record a debut LP, and also an accompanying EP.
