Misery Signals documentary will be out this fall

A documentary about Milwaukee, Wisconsin metal/hardcore outfit Misery Signals titled "Controller: The Misery Signals Story" will surface in September. The feature was filmed by director Marcus De Leon in 13 countries from 2009 until 2011, and "tells the story of five young men who gave up the normal things in life to live their dream... and become one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time." The documentary will apparently be distributed for theaters, broadcast, and DVD in early-2013. For now, you can check out the trailer below: Honestly, this looks pretty cool.

TheLoudestGuyInTheRoom 2/28/2012 9:32:54 AM

"...become one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time..." So this is more of a comedy, huh...I like Misery Signals, but that is a funny statement

StoneColdSteveAustin 2/28/2012 9:34:39 AM

effective trailer. I really want to see this now.

xmusicislifex 2/28/2012 9:39:29 AM

anonymous 2/28/2012 9:46:24 AM

way into this.. but i did cringe at "and become one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time".

slut 2/28/2012 9:46:27 AM

Is it a documentary about not recording an album?

Snoopy2 2/28/2012 9:47:52 AM

The video "looks pretty cool" when we say it looks pretty cool you stupid dumbass webmaster gay, no need to put your commentary or two shits in there like this is some opinionated editorial or tabloid site

xfordirelifesakex 2/28/2012 9:54:11 AM

No footage of Compromise or explanations behind all of the songs about the dudes from that band that died, will mean this is not a comprehensive documentary about the band.

LoydChristmas 2/28/2012 9:54:33 AM

".. and become one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time." hah.

anonymous 2/28/2012 9:58:40 AM

Only gays are stoked.

anonymous 2/28/2012 10:36:10 AM

No footage from "that night in Detroit with The Pressure Point." No care.

duckduckfootloose 2/28/2012 10:36:41 AM

I'd always heard rumors that they had put out albums after Of Magnum..., but I never believed it.

anonymous 2/28/2012 10:39:40 AM

The Risk Taken is not stoked.

anonymous 2/28/2012 10:40:26 AM

Plaid shorts stage dive.

HBDad 2/28/2012 11:35:57 AM

This instead of a new overdue album?

ImAlwaysNice 2/28/2012 11:46:06 AM

BUCHTA!

Jordo 2/28/2012 12:38:41 PM

*Gets star on Hollywood walk of fame*

anonymous 2/28/2012 12:43:37 PM

over-fcking-rated

siqbrah 2/28/2012 12:50:24 PM

I'm a huge mis-sigs fan but in now way consider them "one of the greatest hardcore bands"

anonymous 2/28/2012 1:10:30 PM

Jordo, PM me re: "those pictures"

thelovesausage 2/28/2012 1:20:37 PM

fck yes. Mis Sigs owns.

xdarylstrawberryx 2/28/2012 1:52:58 PM

stop making jordo jokes you fcking c-cksuckers. have some fcking respect.

hardware 2/28/2012 2:03:44 PM

Unfortunately the monotone vocals kill this band in the long run. Of malice is still awesome, mirrors and controller have become stale because of the vocals. It's a bummer. Wah!

forumdrama 2/28/2012 3:08:10 PM

Not to be "that guy" but Misery Signals isn't a hardcore band.

anonymous 2/28/2012 3:39:35 PM

fck, this makes me miss being on tour more than anything else has since my band broke up. Wish I could hit the road with these guys again too. Good dudes. Favorite thing about this doc is that it feels like it should be from about 1999 - but it's not.

anonymous 2/28/2012 4:09:34 PM

fck all ya'll haters. Go jack off to some Sum41 and stop posting dumb shit, MISERY SIGNALS IS WAZZUP PENDEJOS!!!!!!

anonymous 2/28/2012 7:17:49 PM

"no footage from that night in detroit with a pressure point no care" i lol'd but yeah they kinda slacked on that one line... i mean i'd consider them to be more hardcore than metal. but they're not very hardcore. i WOULD consider them to be one of the best bands in the hardcore SCENE tho. fck genres... props to bands like MS who cant be categorized

anonymous 2/28/2012 11:29:17 PM

what the fck are you talking about

anonymous 2/29/2012 8:25:13 AM

"TheLoudestGuyInTheRoom22 hours ago "...become one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time..." So this is more of a comedy, huh...I like Misery Signals, but that is a funny statement" not funny at all in my opinion. musically and technically speaking they are one of the best bands out there.

anonymous 2/29/2012 8:29:23 AM

buyin it

anonymous 2/29/2012 8:58:29 AM

props to bands like MS who cant be categorized agreed

marching_band_rules 2/29/2012 1:34:18 PM

forumdrama 22 hours ago Not to be "that guy" but Misery Signals isn't a hardcore band. fcking idiot. was waiting for this.

XBaconXEdgeX 2/29/2012 2:17:02 PM

If the movie itself is edited as poorly as this trailer was, then this is going to fcking blow. Not to mention, this trailer included "Papyrus" as a title font.

marching_band_rules 2/29/2012 5:50:34 PM

lol papyrus is the worst font

JustySoms 3/1/2012 1:21:32 AM

Will watch this. Dont agree with the 'best hardcore band" statement though. Mirrors was good.

anonymous 3/1/2012 5:38:50 AM

more stoked about a Protomen documentary than this horseshit.

anonymous 3/1/2012 2:38:44 PM

You fcking idiots, what shit do you have in your heads??? MS are incredible musicians.period.

anonymous 3/1/2012 11:13:24 PM

incredible musicians don't always make incredible music.

Snoopy2 3/2/2012 10:08:23 AM

Disband and resurrect 7A7P

anonymous 3/4/2012 8:04:05 AM

haha all anyone does on this site is talk shit. You know none of you are doing anything so just shut up. If you like the band buy the damn dvd if not go do something else, like get a life where you have better shit to do than watch trailers and talk shit about bands you don't like.
