Биография

Equal parts raw punk-rock spirit and skillfully adept heavy metal precision, Misery Signals continues to stand apart from the pack on their first full-length album in over five years, the jarringly dynamic Absent Light. Their combination of progressive, technical and atmospheric riffage with melodic prowess, impassioned frenzy and unhinged rock n’ roll edge helped define part of the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal, a subgenre that includes the commercially successful likes of All That Remains, Killswitch Engage and Lamb Of God. The transcendent experimentalism of Deftones, the mind-bending pulse of Meshuggah, the power of seminal Metalcore masters Shai Hulud and the adventurously dynamic engagement of “thinking man’s metal” band Cave In all exist within the unique blueprint Misery Signals have pioneered for themselves. The fact that Misery Signals has thrived on tours with peers ranging from Between The Buried And Me and The Dillinger Escape Plan to Norma Jean and Emmure speaks volumes as to the band’s singularly broad appeal. Leaders and not followers, innovators and not imitators, Misery Signals have built a catalog of stunningly complete sounding albums, including Controller (2008), Mirrors (2006) and Of Malice and the Magnum Heart (2004).
