On April 28th 2008, Misery Signals posted their first single for Controller called "Weight of the World". Bassist, Kyle Johnson said "It was the first song we recorded for the new album and it's a different song for us, it's little angrier, faster and actually the shortest song clocking in at a little over two minutes."

Vocalist Karl Schubach goes onto say "It was the first song we tracked and Devin Townsend (Producer) had me run through the entire song once just to get down the idea of where I wanted to go. He told me that I nailed it right off the bat and we ended up keeping most of it as the finished version. The song itself is about deciding whether you should tell someone what you really think and get it off of your chest or take the high road and let them think that they are right. That situation can really blow up."

Recently they have filmed a video for their track "A Certain Death" which will serve as the first single off Controller. The video was directed by renowned music video director David Brodsky and starred B-movie actor Brandon Slagle in the narrative portions of the video.

Some 2,900 copies were sold in the first week of release. According to several sources, the album could have exceeded the limit of 20,000 copies sold.
