Misery Signals

About

Misery Signals is a band that redefined the boundaries of melodic metalcore, blending technical precision with raw emotional intensity. Emerging from the ashes of 7 Angels 7 Plagues in the early 2000s, the Wisconsin-based quintet quickly became a cornerstone of the post-hardcore and metalcore scenes. Their sound is a masterful fusion of intricate guitar work, punishing breakdowns, and soaring melodies, drawing influences from bands like Shai Hulud and Poison the Well while carving out a distinct identity. Their debut album, *Of Malice and the Magnum Heart* (2004), is widely regarded as a genre-defining masterpiece, showcasing their ability to balance aggression with introspection. Over the years, Misery Signals has continued to evolve, with albums like *Controller* (2008) and *Absent Light* (2013) solidifying their reputation as innovators. Their music often explores themes of loss, resilience, and self-discovery, resonating deeply with fans worldwide. Misery Signals’ cultural impact lies in their ability to bridge the gap between technical musicianship and emotional storytelling. They’ve shared stages with giants like Killswitch Engage and August Burns Red, and their influence can be heard in countless bands that followed. In 2020, they released *Ultraviolet*, their first album in seven years, proving their enduring relevance. Currently, the band remains active, touring and engaging with their dedicated fanbase, while hinting at new material on the horizon.
