5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Production, April 12, 2006

This review is from: Of Malice & The Magnum Heart (Audio CD)

Misery Signals is one of those bands that will leave a mark in the pages of hardcore. Ryan Morgan [guitar] and Kyle Johnson [bass] from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Were members of renowned hardcore outfit 7 Angels 7 Plagues and are now current members in this outstanding modern hardcore act. Of Malice and the Magnum Heart is Misery Signals first major release and god damn its good. This group heavily tours all corners of the world, so you can probably look for them at Warped Tour this year. Devin Townsend, lead singer for Strapping Young Lad shows off his skills as a producer with this album, he also does backing vocals on the track "a Victim, a Target." If you are a fan of 7 Angels 7 Plagues, Poison the Well, or Skycamefalling you probably already know who these guys are, but if you don't, then you should really consider checking this out.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing debut album, March 17, 2005

After seeing the video for The Year Summer Ended in June, I was surprised at good it sounded. So anyway I decided to go pick up this cd but I didn't have the highest expectations for it, thinking that it was probably more of the same tired hardcore/metalcore stuff that most bands in those genres keep making today. Boy was I wrong, this is one of those cds where the band knows how to create the perfect balance between the heavy moments and the emotional breakdowns. Every song is great and I especially liked the quieter track Worlds & Dreams. Anyways, go do yourself a favor and get this cd if your into the metalcore/hardcore scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, March 4, 2005

This album is terrific. Every single aspect of it, from the guitar work to the drumming and vocals, is sheer perfection. This band is one of the few new hardcore bands that can cater to many different types of heavy music fans and maintain their musical integrity and musicianship at the same time. The polarity of this album is excellent and well executed; some moments of this album make you want to cry and some parts make you wanna break a few noses. I highly suggest picking up this album if you're a fan of emotional hardcore such as 7 Angels 7 Plagues, Poison the Well, SkyCameFalling etc. Standout tracks include: The Year Summer Ended in June, The Stinging Rain, Worlds and Dreams, and Five Years.
