In this episode, we discuss Misery Index's punk and grindcore-infused death metal, with their vocalist, Jason Netherton. Drawing on his working class background, Jason's lyrics pose questions about the capitalist system - in particular, who benefits from it and who is exploited by it. Singing from the collective 'we' perspective, Jason's lyrics draw a stark contrast with Western hyper-individualist society, instead emphasising the shared experience of exploitation under capitalism. However Jason's lyrics are not all despondent, his frequent references to history and mythology place his discussion of postmodern issues in a broader context, that not only offers greater insight into these problems, but invites hope for a better way of life.
