Misery Signals - Absent Light

Let’s make a bold statement – Misery Signals are to last decade’s metalcore explosion what Deftones are to the ’90s nu metal uprising; born of but always detached from it, yet adored by critics and fans alike. While ‘Absent Light’ has taken an awfully long five years to succeed the staggering ‘Controller’, it finds Misery Signals in a similar place, if a little more reserved. Bombastic, tightly constructed heavy music that pushes the status quo, it won’t blow your socks off like ‘Of Malice And The Magnum Heart’ but this long-awaited return should bring some joy into your miserable life.
