krissirge Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 now I'm seeing this band in October,so here's a thread for this who else likes the modern metal assault of Killswitch Engage.Sure,quite often their sound gets repetative , but I enjoy the fact that the new singer is a pretty good singer ,not just a screamer.Their last album is their best(And it includes a kickass cover of Holy Diver)My Curse My Last SerenadeRose Of SharynThe End Of HeartacheThe Arms Of SorrowHoly DiverA Bid FarewellFixation on the Darkness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrly Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm surprised there is so much love for Killswitch Engaged here. I think they're a great fucking band and... *PREPARES TO BE FLAMED*I think their cover of Holy Diver kicks the originals ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkchild Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Great Band and good performance at download 07 ,unfortunately no Adam at that time. But it still kicked ass they are probably my 3rd favourite band,behind AC/DC and Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissirge Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 anybody know what their setlist is this tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsOfTheCarnivalCreation Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Killswitch are pretty sick, I'm not a mass metalcore fan but Howards vocals do it for me. He is sick. Rose Of Sharyn is pretty intense my personal favourite followed by When Darkness Falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*ParadiseCityGirl* Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I haven't really gotten into them too much, I just hear em on the radio. the Holy Diver cover is way cool...I recently saw the vid for it and I had no idea the singer was black! I was picturing an M. Shadows type looking guy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissirge Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 i saw them yesterday and I was a kickass concert.No Holy Diver,but all their other good songs we're played.I think even the band was suprised how energetic the crowd was.

Dr. Feelgood Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Their new singer sucks. I liked their old singer on their first two albums, but after that I stopped liking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt88 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 KSE definetely rocks. They do get a little formulaic but they know how to rock and I think are a great for the scene right now. A lot of people try do blend the melodic singing/screaming but they do it the best. Also, the guitarists are pure metal, if it were up to them Im sure theyd sound like At The Gates or something. I saw them last winter with Dragonforce and they played a lot of the new album, opened with As Daylight Dies and ended with My Last Serenade. On Warped Tour they played a lot of stuff from Alive or Just Breathing, which is weird considering that Howard wasnt in the band then. Either way, theyve ripped it both times and everyone I was with who saw them and wasnt into them was immediately converted from their live show. Howard sounds great, the only problem is both times I saw them they didnt have Adam to do the back up vocals and Howard couldnt sing them so some of the songs didnt have all the proper vocals. It was a very minor setback, overall it still kicked ass. Ill go see them everytime they come around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 A really great melodic metal band. saw them live at Download, I screamed my lungs out and sang along, they were amazing. Howard Jones has a really great voice and presence. Only Screamer I like better at the moment is Anders Friden, but In Flames were one of their Influences so that automatically gains respect.
