Metal Academy Radio Playlist Suggestions - The Gateway Edition

Here's my submission for the February playlist Saxy. Much like a several other tracks from the album, I'd suggest that "Misery" is an alternative metal number that fits nicely within the scope of The Gateway given that it sounds so much like Deftones but feel free not include it if you feel otherwise.
