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. 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.
+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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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'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
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 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 …
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.
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'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 agree with this immeasurably eloquent gentleman. The album is good for anything. Literally anything. Be it driving, pumping iron, or killing squirrels. Also a fantastic pain suppressant. Just good stuff.
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
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 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.
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.
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.

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
@@dougmacneil6305I went to their show here in Edmonton mid last month and it was amazing 10/10!
@@dougmacneil6305no really?!
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. I wish I could talk about Mis Sigs with actual people in real life... but alas nobody knows they exist.
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 :(

Thank you for getting me through so much, MS.
Devin Townsend should produce more Metalcore albums. This is sublime.
listen to Mirrors then lol@@TheLowestLow
Awesome producer but he should stop making music lol
This album will always be one of my top 5 favorites. Never gets old.
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.
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
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!
Still one of my top 5 favorite albums ever.... Sooo good.
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.
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 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?
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.
Keep searching, many years later and these guys still hold a spot through my speakers. This, Nothing, and Five Years. True masterpieces.
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.
Met the lead singer at the Canberra show! Such a cool dude, and the voice...BRUTAL!!
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
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.
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.
Controller - by far one of the best metalcore albums ever made. Never gets old even after all these years.
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
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
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.

anyone else still listening to this in 2019Aug !most underrated metal core band🔥love MS!
I remember hearing this song for the first time.....then I heard the rest of the album. It is excellent sire!!!
Love this song now! I've loved them since the very beginning.
i literally just randomly clicked on this video, and i'm glad to say that Misery Signals has a new fan.
awesome stuff.
still holds up
I cannot stress enough how amazing this whole album is (Controller) Especially the last two songs.
2017 AND I STILL LISTEN TO THIS SONG
Under 1M views after 15 years is criminal, and shows just how underrated what I think is the best metalcore album ever made is.
This still a banger in 2020
Still a banger in 2023 🫡
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
Still the greatest metalcore album ever
Love the polyrhythm beat and guitar solo that goes together reallly well so much
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.
That chorus is timeless...instant chills
Yup. These guys got me through my war year.
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.
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!
I don't believe that I have only just began listening to this band. Where have I been!?
2020
Quarantined cheers from Brazil
Be safe bishes
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..

Gotta give him that! He writes very well too.
OMG!! My favorite band since controller.. The lead guitarist is simply the best.. Cant wait for the new album..
This kind of metalcore was new new metal.
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.
1:56 chills
Misery Signals are probably one of the best live bands I've seen, this song is amazing live :D
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
the best melodic band out there! by far one of my favorite songs...its time for a new CD
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.
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
controller was so sickk.
Joshua Szeker is**
One of the few bands (I know of) that effortlessly combines beautiful lyrics with music.
Best gym song ever. Actually the whole album is fucking incredible, I give some credit to the mixers/engineers for that :P
I agree with this immeasurably eloquent gentleman.
The album is good for anything. Literally anything. Be it driving, pumping iron, or killing squirrels.
Also a fantastic pain suppressant. Just good stuff.
1:53 is the only part i like in this song . . .still a good song though i appreciate this song
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
"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".
ohhh man....finally a brutal band with melodic vocals, crazy beats, and well put together music.....sweet
Produced by Devin Townsend :)
i love this song... mixing cleans in to a heavy song is great as long as its done right. this song proves that point
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.
that's awesome. i have all their albums and i didn't even know that. canadians rock hard.
FUCKING LOVE THIS MISERY SIGNALS. I wish more people would become familiar with them!!!!!!!
Listening in 2020. Wow. The nostalgia. Can really appreciate what these guys have done for metal.
this is some dank shit
Oliver Schier #TeamOliver
A really awesome song by a really awesome band! Love the combination of the sick screaming vocals and the soulful clean vocals.
they barely have any clean singing whatsoever, stop complaining
one of the greatest bands in the genre. this album is legendary.
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
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.
All there albums were masterpieces with different singers, but this album and malice are the BEST!!
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 love their guitar riffs.....such a great band and so unique
from the time your boy up there starts singin to the end it's brilliant
2018 and still rocking out. Wish these guys would come back
Thank you so much for your music
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 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

I literally seen this sign on wwe smackdown listen to misery signals ...so glad I did
Quite possibly my fav metalcore band, I never get tired of Controller. It's a great album through and through.
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.
An excellent and unique band.
Most metalcore bands bore the hell out of me, Misery signals and Twelve tribes are where it's at.
Потрясающая группа, невероятный чистый вокал, до сих пор слушаю и мурашки по коже.
❤️🔥
hes got a clear ass scream.. i understood every single word without lookin at lyrics
this guys Screams is like one of my fav screamers!
no words to describe this...
i just love misery signals.
I missed listening to this song!!!
they play this absolutely PERFECT live
that guitar solo at the end is just perfection
Controller is a thing of beauty. In my opinion the best metalcore album ever put out even 11 years later
Agreed. But Mirrors paved the way.
can't get enough of this band..
