Read The Metal Observer's Review of Misery Remains

Misery Remains is a melodically influenced, unique, one-man brutal death metal band. Influences of death, melodic death, thrash, and black metal are incorporated into the original material of Misery Remains. The songs are predominantly fast, but the riffs and vocals do contain many different textures and feels.  The guitars, bass, and vocals are performed and recorded onto PC, while the drums and other non-guitar instruments (such as orchestral) are created through software.

Misery Remains is Matt Arndt. Matt has played guitar in hardcore/punk, thrash, death metal, and melodic death metal bands, in that order, since 1989. Simplex 12(1989) was a short-lived, hardcore/punk band playing originals and covers from The Misfits, Suicidal Tendencies, Murphy's Law, and Rush. Bewilder(1991-1993) was a thrash band playing originals and covers from pre-90's-Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Sepultura, Pantera, and Iron Maiden. Remains(1994-1998) was a powerful, three-piece, thrash/death/groove brutal metal band playing primarily originals with a cover or two from Cannibal Corpse. Divine Misery (formed 1995, but joined in 1999 and disbanded 1999) was a melodic death metal band playing originals only. Misery Remains(2000-present) is Matt Arndt's current project.
