Controller is the third studio album from Milwaukee based Misery Signals. The band have been together for 5 years and have consistently pushed themselves to spread the word of their great music and technical ability. The music is heavy and very solid. This album has a rich style and is very dynamic, with different levels of power and melody flowing throughout. There are heavy drilling riffs that are all about the power and then there are lots of more interesting, technical and melodic riffs.

The other great attribute this album is the production work of Devin Townsend. Having produced bands like Soilwork, Lamb of God and Darkest Hour, Devin is no stranger to the art of getting the best from an artist. Devin thrives to work very intimately with an artist and drive them all individually to be better than they thought they could be. This is really shown through out, right across the board.

The vocals are steaming though out with the screams sounding like Randy from Lamb of God mixed with a bit of Anselmo and a touch of Becoming the Archetype. They are low brutal and full of raw aggression. This is then set against the slightly softer singing that pops up to heighten the mood of the track. The singing is absolutely spot on and is thickened by some great harmony vocals.

This album is an absolute corker and deserves to be affiliated with every positive word under the sun. Pure metal bliss!
