Misfire

Last updated: 1 day ago

When drummer James Nicademus co-founded thrash metal quartet Misfire back in 2019, he wanted to bash the skins and unleash full-bore tracks that could serve as musical therapy for his band and the fans. As with any new group, there were exciting opportunities to evolve and difficult circumstances that threatened to derail them. But under James’ watchful eye and vision, Misfire survived the brutal times and arose stronger than ever.

Misfire’s renewed and reinvigorated line-up – which also includes vocalist Tim Jensen, guitarist Kostadin Kostadinov, and bassist/vocalist Sean Coogan – is now roaring full steam ahead with their sophomore album Product of the Environment on MNRK Heavy.

James may pound away behind his kit, but his musical influence reverberates along the group’s front line. Like one of his idols, Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, he also plays guitar and conjures most of the riffs that drive the band’s music. While James is Misfire’s principal wordsmith, Tim added his thoughts to some new tracks.

Of utmost importance to the band will always be playing raw and loud, no Auto-Tune needed, and staying authentic to who they are.
