Enduring, unflinching, and profoundly oppressive, ‘Miserably Ever After’ stood as one of Grief’s most defining statements and a cornerstone of American sludge doom. Originally released in 1996, the album followed the genre-defining ‘Come to Grief’ and pushed the band’s vision even further into emotional paralysis and sonic suffocation. Across its 57-minute runtime, the record rejected momentum or release, instead embracing repetition, exhaustion, and psychological weight as its core language. Slow, grinding riffs and desolate vocals unfolded with punishing inevitability, capturing despair not as spectacle, but as lived condition.

Over the decades, ‘Miserably Ever After’ has grown in stature, frequently cited as one of the most honest and uncompromising depictions of depression and nihilism in heavy music. Its influence stretched far beyond sludge and doom, informing countless artists drawn to extremity as emotional truth rather than genre exercise. This long-awaited 2LP reissue via Throne Records marked the first vinyl pressing since the original release, featuring revamped artwork sourced from the originals and presented in a deluxe gatefold edition. More than a historical artefact, the album remained as harrowing and relevant as ever — a bleak monument to endurance, negation, and absolute heaviness.
