Fagersta, Sweden’s long-standing crossover thrash pioneers KAZJUROL have officially released their new career-spanning collection, Forty Years Of Misery, out today, March 2, 2026, via GMR Music.

Described as "more than a title—a reckoning, a triumph, and a defiant gesture," the release serves as a definitive summary of the band's four-decade journey through the Swedish underground. Formed in the mid-1980s, Kazjurol has remained a stubborn fixture in the scene, evolving through various eras while maintaining their signature aggression.

The current lineup—featuring Thomas "Bäs" Bergström, Pontus "Kongen" Ekwall, Lars "Bodde" Eliasson, and Tommie "T-Ban" Pettersson—continues the momentum from their well-received comeback efforts, 2019's Multi Dead World and 2023's Rage 87. Forty Years Of Misery distills decades of frustration into a potent mix of mosh-driven grooves and razor-wire thrash riffs.
