Misery Signals released their latest album Controller this week, which The Dreaded Press reviewed a few days back. Produced by living legend and all-round genius of metal Devin Townsend, it’s metalcore for people who are bored of tuneless bludgeon, and well worth a listen.
As part of the slightly more enviable side of life as a signed band, Misery Signals got to film a video for “A Certain Death”, the first single from Controller. Directed by David Brodsky (who apparently did some work with one of my favourite bands ever, Helmet), it was filmed in a less than salubrious location, according to vocalist Karl Schubach:
“We filmed our scenes in a burnt down hotel in a abandoned town in upstate NY. It was definitely condemned, I don’t know how they got us in there but it was dark, dirty with gutted wood beams, blackened walls and if you weren’t careful you could fall into the basement that was flooded with some kind of liquid.”
Sounds like some of my former residences, to be honest. But enough chatter - check out the video for “A Certain Death”:
Not bad at all, and mercifully low on metal video clichés. You can hear more tunes from Misery Signals on the MySpazz, and there’s a website for grown-ups, too.
