Master of Brutality is the debut album by the Japanese stoner rock/doom metal band Church of Misery. Five of the six tracks are based on and titled after infamous serial killers, Edmund Kemper, Peter Sutcliffe, Herbert Mullin, and John Wayne Gacy (this last one, portrayed on the cover). The instrumental track "Green River" is inspired by serial killer Gary Ridgway. The first track "Killifornia" contains audio of spoken words by Ed Kemper.[2] The artwork and booklet contains pictures and sketches of John Wayne Gacy; the back art has John Gacy dressed as "Pogo the Clown".[2] The name of the album is a parody of Black Sabbath's album, Master of Reality.
