@@joelh870 jazmines lullaby which became misery signals was around then im pretty sure. The guitarist kinda defined an era. He's also in End now if im not mistaken
A Certain Death and The Failsafe are must listen songs. You know what? The entirety of Of Malice and the Magnum Heart, too. God I love this band. RIP MISERYSIGNALS.
Hell yeah, Geebz. This band were pioneers of metalcore. I'll echo a lot of the other comments and recommend their album Controller if you're looking for more. It's an incredible blend of melodic hardcore and post-metal with flourishes of prog.
Check out “ebb and flow” by misery signals. It has 6-8 layers right in the beginning. Very great writing. All of Controller is great writing. Highly recommend
@@joelh870 truth! I’d have to agree with you but it’s also a tough choice. I really enjoy the transitions of coma to a certain death and reset to homecoming. Truly great writing
I could talk about this album at length, but to sum up, this is basically what melodic death metal is supposed to look like. There is never a sacrifice in physical ability or song writing or melodic incorporation throughout the length of the album on all fronts. Every pause of extended riff has a purpose, every walk on the bass has a destination, and every melody of the guitar has a sense of timining and accessibility. As the vocals go, what might seem standard to even some metal heads, has more unique qualities than not. Thanks geebz. I hope you do more misery signals songs going forward.
Seeing the on their farewell tour this Sunday! Check out the song Something Was Always Missing but it was Never You. The guitar melodies are GORGEOUS and will give you the feels.
Saw them for the first time many years ago. They are on a farewell tour with both vocalists right now and I'm so happy having seen them one more time two weeks ago!!!
Their drummer Branden Morgan is absolutely amazing, im glad you picked up on that. Hes seriously talented, and very creative .. imo he is what the band so special
I remember hearing that this album was recorded and produced by a friend of theirs, so it’s a little bit different mix. Controller was their next in 2008 and is the most polished. I love that album so much. Also like that surfing analogy at the end. 👍
Saw these guys in London a couple weeks ago on their farewell tour. Absolutely unreal. I first saw them back in 05 supporting Eighteen Visions. Highly recommend checking out Five Years from Of Malice & the Magnum Heart. Unreal song.
Oh man, I've completely forgotten about the band. I saw them at the Groezrock Festival in Belgium in 2008. Greetings to everyone who was there back then.
Misery signals is going on their farewell tour right now and its kind of a sucky feeling cause they were formed before I was even born and I only discovered them a year or two ago, so theres not much to look forward to anymore. The entire controller album is some of the best most soulful metalcore ever made, id love to see your take on it or atleast some of the songs. Controller is also produced by Devin Townsend so it holds up REALLY well even by today’s standards IMO
Ah, always loved this song, but to nitpick man as a composer you really should do something off of the album Absent Light! This song might even be their deepest cut. Love it but doesn't scratch the surface!
Bro Karl is way better than Jesse , controller is easily their best album. Even live Karl had way better stage presence than Jesse, just saw their farewell tour in NYC
One of the most influential bands in all of metalcore. We wouldn't have bands like Erra and Counterparts if not for them.
I mean really you could trace this sound back a bit further with Shai Hulud, maybe Hopesfall

@@jamesgphillips91*7 Angels 7 Plagues. Jhazmyne's Lullaby was an album title.
@@M4570DON your totally correct thanks 🙏
As a composer, I think you might like Circa Survive's Juturna album. They had such a unique way of composing & arranging songs!

Controller is so incredible, there isn't a single skip on it. Labyrinthian would probably be my pick though

Man! I've been waiting for you to do Misery Signals for years! lol
Misery signals. one of my favorite bands

I love this band with all my heart
This band and Hopesfall are my cornerstone bands. Ive listened to them more than anyone else since 2004.
you are not alone (i'll add in the mix Poison The Well)
Us three should hang out then 😂

Also like that surfing analogy at the end. 👍
I’m still here!
I have this album. I rarely see anyone talk about them, so this was a cool one for me.
I saw Misery Signals at Toads Place in the early 2000's. Great show
Hell Yah. Great drummer
Finally, soneone ebo recognizes good bass playing/parts.

finally listening to some top tier music
What a great band. That sadly in the Metalcore/Deathcore scene no one talk about
Never saw them but i got too see 7 angels 7 plagues before they broke up. Super fun seeing them and i wish i was able to see misery signals.
Good choice
Thank you Geebz
I still remain steadfast in that I'd love to hear your take on "This Life is Mine" by Jeff Williams & Casey Lee Williams

This band is so underrated. This probably wasn't the best first song to listen to

Hey!
Maybe you can react to "The Dali Thundering Concept"
They really have great musics, "Savages" album is really nice
I felt a mini heart attack when reading the title, I thought it said "Misery Index", dammit
Misery Signals > Misery Index
Can you check out Danny Don't You Know by NSP?
This whole album rips.
Huge fan of this band. But it makes no sense to me to ask for a song with this singer. Just not as good as of malice or ultraviolet.
Mid at best
Bro Karl is way better than Jesse , controller is easily their best album. Even live Karl had way better stage presence than Jesse, just saw their farewell tour in NYC
Old Jesse was god tier, but Karl blew new Jesse out of the water. Sorry but Ultraviolet was my least favorite record.
