I still listen to Controller in my car every single day. Truly a timeless classic in the genre, and the internet’s greatest little secret. Seriously, I wish I could talk about Mis Sigs with actual people in real life... but alas nobody knows they exist.
Greatest band of all-time simply for Controller; that's how incredible that album is. The atmosphere, the lyrics, the versatility, the song structures, the haunting leads, etc.
I associate this album with one of the best times of my life. Was in a metalcore band, was playing a lot of local shows and even some bigger venues that I had dreamed of playing at, was in an awesome relationship, and I was writing what I thought was kickass music that was heavily inspired by this band and others like them. Good times. I still listen to this album as often as I can, one of the greatest metalcore albums ever written. I think the mid to late 00's was like the golden era for this style of music. This album came out, then the following year August Burns Red released Constellations. Just two awesome examples.
My favorite thing about his voice is he enunciates so well. You really notice it on Controller, you can basically understand every word that he's singing. He'll also finish words, instead of just trailing off.
This! Back in 2008 i was still a classic metal guy except for the metalcore scene and lamb of god. I liked when screamers enunciated their words and still do. This album and the vocals are exactly what i mean. Ive since grown to listen to deathcore and other metal genres, but back then i could jam this album all the time
To be honest, I'm not into metalcore for breakdowns. I think the best thing about this band, for me, it's the song pattern. They're not very common place for a metalcore band, and they're guitars are pretty original. Althought I labelled them as metalcore, it seems like an unfair name to use in this kind of band.
I bought the ESP eclipse in this vid, it was Seb's from Dead and Divine, and he got it from Mis when they toured together. It could be in my imagination, but I swear when I play misery signals songs with it, it's like it plays itself. Ghostly
+jonathan casino I think all their albums have been pretty good but I would definitely put Controller over Mirrors. So more like their first and third albums are the best.
Uh just because Karl uses clean vocals too doesnt make this poppy at all. If anything it enhances certain sections of the music. This is misery signals we're talking about, not A day to remember.
wow... its been all these years but I still like this song very much. One of the best songs ever I just love how the song goes hard in the beginning and ends soft and chill
I’d roll into my high school parking lot most mornings of junior year in ‘09 blairinggg this masterpiece out of my ‘98 Sentra’s sound system that I severely overpaid for at Best Buy.. And my gosh was it worth it… I wanted every decibel and sound wave of this track to decimate everything outside of the vehicle, but then repair it with heartfelt angelic bliss from the chorus …
just saw misery last night at MOD club in toronto. best live band ive seen in a while. sights and sounds / architects (uk) / dead and divine / haste the day all opened for misery signals. you watch those bands, and thery are all great live and have good songs, and then you watch misery signals, and its such a huge step up from everything else. their songs have so much substance and sound so full and layered. my fav band, hands down
So, basically most metalcore bands if not all? Misery Signals doesn't even have clean vocals on every of their song but one thing for sure is quality. It's not easy to find a quality metalcore band that's on par with MS.
WHY THE HELL HAVEN'T I BEEN LISTENING TO THIS FOR 5 YEARS?! I just heard it for the first time and I'm seriously pissed at myself for not having looked them up the first time I heard of them years ago.
This song has so much meaning to me. They portrayed the image that the lyrics convey very well in the video. Religion being a prison/cage and freeing your mind from it. No one does it like Misery Signals.
powerful. the only way to describe the entire album. Controller is one of my top five favorites. Even the more vulnerable songs like Ebb and Flow and Homecoming are powerful. I was never a fan of Karl, I liked Jesse a whole lot more, but this album made me appreciate just how good a vocalist Karl is. His personality might suck..but he's good at what he does. Gotta give him that! He writes very well too.
I've seen you on other videos. Great taste in music. Misery Signals is one of the most influential metalcore/melodic hardcore bands of all time yet they're still underlooked. They were doing a lot of stuff that is popular now.
I love this song and band!!!!!! The screaming reminds me a little of August Burns Red and As I Lay Dying, and the singing does too. Absolutely amazing.
In a nutshell: Religion does not give you any answers. The song is about s.o. who has freed himself from religion. Instead of asking questions about life he is accepting his existence as is ("Embrace this sickness with open arms"). He does not want to follow all the other sheep "raising their eyes from sleep ... searching" for meaning in everything. So he leaves all his "burdens at the door" (of a church I think) and promises he will "never walk (t)here again".
I'm never getting tired of this band. Last singer was good, new singer is good. all CDs so far have smashed my face in with awesomeness. Take to the skies guys. You're staying my metal veins forever. Keep up the great work
this is what i have been looking for in so many bands today. the combination of brutality and melody of this is pure bliss. i have found the perfect song for me. i will listen to this until the day i die... or maybe until they release their next album.
A staple in the metalcore scene. If you're a metal head probably haven't heard of this band, if your in a metal band, YOU BETTER HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK AND PAID YOUR RESPECTS. Misery Signals baby
This is my first listening to this band and i'm pretty surprised of their great ammount of talent. I don't care what genre is this, i only know this guys sound really good and deserve a lot of support. This will be definitely one of my new favorite bands, along with Septic Flesh and Meshuggah. This guys rock!
Estás canciones las ponía cuando salía de la secu y agarraba la bmx y al parque a rifar que tiempos extraño esos tiempo hoy todo es computadora y está canción es dodne digo las guitarras lloran
