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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 …
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".
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.
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 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!
@metalskater9 Dude, they created the brand of metalcore that we listen to, today. That band was seriously one of the most, original, foundational metalcore bands to ever exist, and in fact, the very band that got me into heavy stuff.
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.
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.
I saw them live with Dead and Divine and Architects (uk). Was a wicked show. I would recommend it. Overall it was a great fun show. These guys no how to hold the crowd.
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
@misterman93 What makes it better is we got to share the stage with them for that show in Orlando FL. These guys are so nice, it was awesome. Something to never forget. \m/
@XxGunFacexX I'll have to go with what you just said. It's not the outer look, or just general wardrobe. It's about going to concerts, meeting the people there, being able to share the whole music feel, go with friends or go as a stranger and make friends while enjoying the music.

i dont hear the whole album but a lot of the songs.... ebb and flow and a certain death for example... this is their masterpiece
Stole the words right out of my mouth
Oh yeah
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 wish I had friends with the same music taste as me :(
anyone else here because they heard they’re breaking up?
thank you guys for 22 years of great music 🖤
Ah shucks... No way!!! I'm bummed that I missed out on their tour a few years ago. I would have loved to have gotten my CD signed by them.
My boss is going to the last show tonight
I associate this album with one of the best times of my life.

Devin Townsend should produce more Metalcore albums. This is sublime.
This was produced by devin townsend? Weird considering the lack of reverb
listen to Mirrors then lol@@TheLowest
Awesome producer but he should stop making music lol
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.

By far, this is the best metalcore band I've ever heard
they are the best, my friend
Cesar Diaz Espinoza Agreed. :)
Cesar Diaz Espinoza listen breakdown of sanity,and you know the best metalcore band in the world
Nicolas Romero *Best metalcore band for insane breakdowns. Not the best metalcore band in the world.
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.
controller the greatest progressive metalcore EVER.
EVER. A masterpiece ages ahead of its time.
@@soysauce9296 Ahead I wouldn't say so, it's just others that are late! There are plenty of sick metal bands out there. Shame it was short though.
@@DoomNerd67200 "others that are late", yeah that makes them AHEAD.
this album is a classic
This album will always be their best work. Never let this album be forgotten. A true masterpiece.
I think that's open to interpretation, but it's hard to argue lol
it's A BOMB
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.
2016 and im still listening to this album regularly!
Fuckin MASTERPIECE
2018 checking in, still one of the greatest metalcore albums ever created!
Still here in 2019 :)
2019 and I'm still listening regularly!
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
That's dope.
This album will always be one of my top 5 favorites. Never gets old.
Still listen to this album every week
Jacob Maciejowski I just recently bought the CD. I love listening to this band since I was turned onto it. I'm just missing Absent Light now.
Thank you for getting me through so much, MS.
Still one of my top 5 favorite albums ever.... Sooo good.
Is all of their stuff this fucking awesome? I just stumbled on to them, and I am blown the fuck away.
yes, all of their stuff is this fucking awesome. welcome to the club!
I know right same here Trey
fuck man i only just found them aswel and farout i already love them!
I have discovered much of this band since my comment. Mother of God, still blown the fuck away.
Misery signals > all other metalcore
Still the greatest metalcore album ever
still holds up
This bend and Avgust Burns Red are the best metalcore bands in my opinion. I don't listen to this style of metal much, but this is kickass!
Til' this day I will always hold Misery Signals #1 in my heart. Powerful music, and amazing people.
100% agree first 2 albums are timeless to me. epic album
+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.
This song is weight with memories of my college year.. Still remember my roommate Shaggy would play this song everyday... i miss those moment...
Your roommate was shaggy from scooby doo?
This still a banger in 2020
Still a banger in 2023 🫡
This song gives me chills EVERY time I listen to it. Such great musicianship, wish this band got more credit.
The whole album tho, damn.
Keep searching, many years later and these guys still hold a spot through my speakers. This, Nothing, and Five Years. True masterpieces.
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
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
1:20 you can hear the meshuggah influence lol sounds like something off Choasphere
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.
Roberto Reyes 100% true. I just recently heard Misery Signals.
the guys sure love meshuggah
Karl has a side project called Solace which is heavily influenced by them
Djent at the finest...
If protest the hero was a djent band
2017 AND I STILL LISTEN TO THIS SONG
anyone else still listening to this in 2019Aug !most underrated metal core band🔥love MS!
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.

Met the lead singer at the Canberra show! Such a cool dude, and the voice...BRUTAL!!
Yup. These guys got me through my war year.
Love this song now! I've loved them since the very beginning.
controller was so sickk.
Joshua Szeker is**
I remember hearing this song for the first time.....then I heard the rest of the album. It is excellent sire!!!
This kind of metalcore was new new metal.
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.
not sure how I got here, but damn...I'm impressed. And what's the story with this extremely awesome drumming?
branden morgan is a big jazz fan..... and a god among men.
Its metalcore drumming bro. There's literally too many good drummers out there. Keep listening and you'll find more each day.
Love the polyrhythm beat and guitar solo that goes together reallly well so much
2017 and still listening to it.
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 …
"Keep searching, the answers will never come."
What does that mean?
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 cannot stress enough how amazing this whole album is (Controller) Especially the last two songs.
1:56 chills
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.
2020
Quarantined cheers from Brazil
Be safe bishes
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
Best gym song ever. Actually the whole album is fucking incredible, I give some credit to the mixers/engineers for that :P
Controller - by far one of the best metalcore albums ever made. Never gets old even after all these years.
1:53 is the only part i like in this song . . .still a good song though i appreciate this song
i literally just randomly clicked on this video, and i'm glad to say that Misery Signals has a new fan.
awesome stuff.
they barely have any clean singing whatsoever, stop complaining
the best melodic band out there! by far one of my favorite songs...its time for a new CD
1:54 makes me want to cry. Haha.
+Dante LAN-I-ER Dude! I remember seeing you on the Mr. Bungle song Stub-A-Dubb! Hot damn seeing you here mate!
ARegularPanda That's awesome. Haha. I'm all over the place. Good to see you again.
caus it's freakin beautiful lol ;')
these guys deserve major credit, they are the ones who popularised the transition from punk to hardcore... lots of bands owe respect to these guys
Produced by Devin Townsend :)
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!
this is some dank shit

@metalskater9
Dude, they created the brand of metalcore that we listen to, today. That band was seriously one of the most, original, foundational metalcore bands to ever exist, and in fact, the very band that got me into heavy stuff.
FUCKING LOVE THIS MISERY SIGNALS. I wish more people would become familiar with them!!!!!!!
That chorus is timeless...instant chills
MATH
6 × 9 = 69
+Evan Sales no the square roots don't add up
This isn't really "math core" though. At least as a whole
This isn't mathcore at all haha
+RECTmetal haha haha haha haha
This is what metalcore should be (imo),
Combination of scream & clean vocal, and guitar solo. Respect for band
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.
i love this song... mixing cleans in to a heavy song is great as long as its done right. this song proves that point
I don't believe that I have only just began listening to this band. Where have I been!?
Misery Signals are probably one of the best live bands I've seen, this song is amazing live :D
A really awesome song by a really awesome band! Love the combination of the sick screaming vocals and the soulful clean vocals.
OMG!! My favorite band since controller.. The lead guitarist is simply the best.. Cant wait for the new album..
i love their guitar riffs.....such a great band and so unique
i just love the melodic guitaring, it really makes misery signals stand out
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.
i know. hes one of the cleanestt screamers out there. i love it and his voice is so deep. no one can scream like him.
One of the few bands (I know of) that effortlessly combines beautiful lyrics with music.
You guys have managed to be melodic and core without borrowing from sweden's melodic death...u re awesome!love the progressive riffs and drumming!
this is the first song by them i heard, and i really like, it the drumming and guitar are amazing, he is good at his screaming and growling
one of the greatest bands in the genre. this album is legendary.
no words to describe this...
i just love misery signals.
Thank you so much for your music
this guys Screams is like one of my fav screamers!
that's awesome. i have all their albums and i didn't even know that. canadians rock hard.
I saw them live with Dead and Divine and Architects (uk). Was a wicked show. I would recommend it. Overall it was a great fun show. These guys no how to hold the crowd.
ohhh man....finally a brutal band with melodic vocals, crazy beats, and well put together music.....sweet
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
2018 and still rocking out. Wish these guys would come back
@misterman93
What makes it better is we got to share the stage with them for that show in Orlando FL. These guys are so nice, it was awesome. Something to never forget. \m/
the whole album is damn good.....i know all the songs by heart and the album has alot of energy.....Keep searching
from the time your boy up there starts singin to the end it's brilliant
they play this absolutely PERFECT live
@RoAdHaVoC You can really hear the Misery Signals in their guitars and breakdown time signatures. The abstract yet on time-ness of it. Love it.
these guys are playing live in burlington ontario this weekend, if you want more details feel free to ask
Under 1M views after 15 years is criminal, and shows just how underrated what I think is the best metalcore album ever made is.
hes got a clear ass scream.. i understood every single word without lookin at lyrics
Quite possibly my fav metalcore band, I never get tired of Controller. It's a great album through and through.
Listening in 2020. Wow. The nostalgia. Can really appreciate what these guys have done for metal.
awesome performance! Controller is really a piece of art.
@XxGunFacexX I'll have to go with what you just said. It's not the outer look, or just general wardrobe. It's about going to concerts, meeting the people there, being able to share the whole music feel, go with friends or go as a stranger and make friends while enjoying the music.
awesome drummer
Wow. This is awesome. Seriously awesome.
Misery signals is very awesome , controller is a master piece metalcore album
