Combining equal parts calculated aggression, harmony-laden structures and unique song writing, Gross Misconduct has forged an undeniable mark on the metal landscape with the release of the band’s first independent album “The Process of Indoctrination” in 2008.
Influenced by many of metal’s sub-genres but aligned with none, the band combines classic, melodic song structures with the brutal aggression of today’s death, thrash and grind scenes to create a unique hybrid of unparalleled modern metal.
Consisting of David London (vocals, guitars), Jesse Brint (guitars/backing vocals), John Kurucz (drums) and Ryan Shepard (bass), the band's sound has been compared to Death, Morbid Angel, the Crown, and Dimension Zero by fans and media alike.
Since setting up shop in Vancouver, British Columbia in 2003, the band has shared the stage with renowned international acts including Amon Amarth, Martyr, Neuraxis, Fuck the Facts, Augury, Unexpect, Infernal Majesty, Thine Eyes Bleed, and Anonymus, on top of playing the Vancouver date of the 2007 Vans Warped Tour.
Gross Misconduct's debut has garnered considerable attention from metal fans, magazines, labels, distributors and media alike, and with the follow-up album already written the band is now looking forward to head back to the studio to record their new songs.
"If there's an appropriate place to start, it's that Gross Misconduct are huge Schuldiner fans. They lift from his genre-defining repertoire not only those huge trademark melodious leads, but also some of the thrashing circa 'The Sound of Perseverance' in an approach that's not unlike Arsis. They add a modern flair with some of Martyr's progressive technicalities and nearly every song is a certifiable hit."
Terrorizer, Issue 174 -- August/September 2008
