About
From Nursery to Misery is an obscure experimental and industrial project that emerged during the late 1980s underground music scene. Based on available documentation, the project released a limited catalog of cassette-based works between 1989 and 1990, including The Oak Tree (1989) and two versions of Equilibrium (1990). The group's output reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the era's darker experimental music communities, with a focus on self-released, DIY distribution through cassette formats—a common practice among noise and industrial artists of that period. Little mainstream documentation exists regarding the project's lineup, specific influences, or long-term trajectory, suggesting they remained firmly within underground and independent music circles. The project's sparse discography and cassette-only releases position them within the broader landscape of 1980s-90s industrial and experimental music, though their limited visibility indicates minimal direct influence on wider musical movements. The decision to release primarily through self-released channels underscores the independent ethos characteristic of the era's experimental music underground.
