Both phrases appear to be Latin.
Miserable Visu is wonderful by the sight
Exo Malo Bonum is 'good out of evil'
From Wikipedia:
Exo Malo Bonum: "From St. Augustine's "Sermon LXI" where he contradicts Seneca's dictum in Epistulae 87:22: bonum ex malo non fit (good does not come from evil). Also: the alias of the Anberlin song, "Miserabile Visu" from their album New Surrender."
Also from Wikipedia:
Miserable Visu: "the use of a Latin song title for "Miserabile Visu (Ex Malo Bonum)" (as opposed to the English translation "Tragedy Leads to Inspiration")"

@albanian,
Thanks for the correction. I didn't find any definitive sources and a few mentioned "loosely translates into..", so it seemed a bit shady.
"mirabile visu" means wonderful sight, "Miserable Visu" would mean terrible or miserable sight. It is possibly a mistake since its just pop song lyrics, but there is no need to spread the mistake.
