Now, I don't do this often, but I'm going to recommend a specific pressing of this debut album from Finnish doom-death legends Disgrace. You must get the 2004 version of this 1992 album, because it contains their 1990 demo tape Inside the Labyrinth of Depression and their 1991 EP Debts of Gods. But in all cases, we're talking about some of the most supremely heavy, dark and brutal death metal to ever escape from the nation's shores. Mostly rooted in doom, the band are equally able to lay down sick grind blasts and eerie melodies as well. To my ears, I rate the demo material as actually being the best on offer here, but the production on the actual Grey Misery album itself is titanic, a lesson to any other band hoping to sound as suffocatingly heavy as possible. "Unity's Interlude Dyes Blind Tomorrow" is just ungodly in it's rumbling bass frequencies and mega-guttural vocals. Since the band appear to use psudeonyms, naming them to highlight their efforts is pointless, but along with Lord of Putrefaction and Disembowelment, I have to say that this is among the most impressive doom-death ever recorded. No collection should be without it.
