I've always really liked these guys, even though the only album I'm super familiar with is As Daylight Dies. They put on an excellent live show.

New single is fantastic. I'm going to miss Jones' clean vox for sure, but this guy is a natural - you can tell that there's still a tremendous amount of chemistry between them all, and he fits like a glove. His dirtys (and even his melodies) are perfectly in line with what Jones would have done, so there's a nice continuity.

This made me very excited for the new album.

End of Heartache, My Last Serenade, Holy Diver, My Curse, This is Absolution, Fixation of the Darkness. The best of these guys I don't particularly dig the rest.

Jesse sounds awesome on this new track. I always thought Jesse had really good lyrics too, the stuff from Times Of Grace really turned me on to his writing. Looking forward to hearing the whole album.

This album is amazing, allround a bit heavier but still very much recognizable as Killswitch, love it!

I like it as well. There weren't too many songs on it that stood out for me after a single listen (except maybe "Always", which is a great tune), but I think that's just because of the general heaviness and lack of hooks, I think. It's a less immediate record than their last few. Still, good stuff.

^ I felt the same way as I couldn't really find any standout tracks right off. I'll have to listen to it a few times to start soaking in songs individually. Was a good listen the first time through though.

After two weeks I say - I LOVE IT.
It always surprised me how they join being so heavy with being so melodic and it doesn't sound forced at all...
I prefer Jesse on vocals and he really improved over the years.

Man they rebounded strong with Disarm the Descent.
I've got it up pretty close to As Daylight Dies. Listen straight through.

Typical KSE, but it's a fucking wicked song. Adam D never fails to write a sick-as-tits guitar riff.

The Times of Grace album was what really opened my eyes to how good of a musician Adam is. If I'm not mistaken, he recorded every instrument as well as mixed/produced the whole album. He's been the reason for Killswitch's continued success regardless of lead singer.
