Misery Signals
Of Malice and the Magnum Heart

This album, for those who are passionate about certain sounds and haven't been living on Mars for the last 7/8 years, represents more than a masterpiece, it is truly a classic. A perfect production but not for that reason "polished" (Devin Townsend), a group of musicians in a state of grace and a handful of thrilling songs usually suffice to produce something truly valuable, but here there is something more, something intangible, immanent.

This record indeed stems from a tragedy, an experience of loss and true pain. Jordan Wodehouse and Daniel Langlois were great friends of the (now former) voice of the band, Jesse Zarkasa, and one evening, while heading to a concert of his previous band, the Compromise, a drunk driver hit them and the party was over. Jordan and Daniel were killed.
This is how "Of Malice and The Magnum Heart" came to be, this is how the Misery Signals were born.
Just reading the titles is enough to understand the nature of the album's lyrics, "Of account of an absence," "The Year Summer Ended in June," "Murder," while listening to this album dozens of times is not enough to be satisfied. On Sputnikmusic.com it says "if you have the cd on repeat it will fade into the first track. Proving that this cd will never end." and it's exactly like that. This CD never ends, it gets inside you.
Not listening to it is as big a crime as the one that made it possible.
