Church of Misery are a Japanese doom band formed in Tokyo in 1995 around constant member and bassist Tatsu Mikami. They wed Black Sabbath-style doom to psychedelic rock, with nearly every song themed around real serial killers and mass murderers, complete with spoken-word samples. Prolific tourers and split-release partners, they issued Houses of the Unholy (2009) on Rise Above/Metal Blade and toured Europe alongside Sourvein in 2006.
