Thumbs up KsE- Killswitch Engage

I love this band, my friend gave me their 2000 cd, Killswitch Engage, Their song Vide Infra is a very good song, I like their beat.... good songs and a good band, I am not against them at all, what do you think?

KsE is a very good band, not as technical or anything as most of the stuff I listen too, but they write good stuff. Adam D. is an amazing musician, he's like the Devin Townsend of metalcore. He's produced a lot of other bands and while not only writing most of Killswitch's stuff, he recorded almost all of their first album by himself.
Plus he's hilarious, I met him at Ozzfest over the summer. While they played he wore a baseball helmet and really really short cut-off shorts and was shouting all these typical crappy things that a "metal" band "usually" says like "see you in hell, motherfuckers" and "...........motherfuckers" but you could totally see he was joking around.
I was bummed when Jesse left the band because he was a really talented singer but Howard is just as good, if not better, in my opinion.

My favorite songs are "Vide Infra", "Rise Inside" (the end is heavy as hell), "Self Revolution" and "Temple from the Within."

I've seen them live twice and on both occasions they didn't disappoint. The first time was when Jesse was still the vocalist. Howard's good but I thought that Jesse was slightly better.

I've got their albums too and put it this way, I'd rather listen to KsE than any of the crap on MTV or MTV2.

I'd probably watch MTV if it were even available in Australia. Just because I heard Nile and Cattle Decapitation were shown on there once. Or a few times. I dunno.

I personally, have never seen KsE on MTV2 in the UK. I never said that I didn't watch MTV2 either, I guess I just don't hang around waiting for 1 good video to come on. If there are specialist shows I haven't seen them because I'm usually doing or watching something else in the evenings.

I respect your opinion but speculating to what I meant by my words is a pointless exercise because they mean exactly what they mean literally in the post, ie, I'd rather listen to my KsE CD than watch the crap on MTV or MTV2. They're not deep and profound words with hidden subtefuge and I'm not trying to interest anybody but the guy who asked for our opinions on KsE.

They've never toured over here in the UK under that tour name so I wouldn't know anything about it. Excuse my ignorance of all things MTV or MTV2 related (see the 1st paragraph of my previous post).

The Hate Eternal video you're talking about is "Powers that Be", right?
I.....thought that video was kinda poor. The whole guy....with the gravestone.....and the running.....and frankenstein on vocals

And wow Undying_Hatred, I know you probably just said that to get a rise outta someone, but ouch, I think Howard's a fine singer.


But yeah, I mean, most of you guys like Shadows Fall and Lamb of God and such, but I'm feeling a hatred towards KsE that.....I just don't understand....

Metal videos have a tendency for sucking cock. They always have lack of buget, lack of inspiration, and the "theme/visual atmosphere" they try and produce to reflect the song always come out extremely corny.

EMO SING-ALONG MOMENTS?! Holy mother of god! Do you KNOW what emo is? Theres a huge difference. I mean, by your definition, In Flames could have "emo sing along moments", so could Soilwork, Nevermore, blah blah.

Theres a difference between "emo" and "melodic."


And Undying_Hatred, I know there's differences between those bands, but I was just trying to make a relation and those were kinda the closest I came up with.

I'm all for everyone's own opinion, but I just don't think I could stand for KsE being called "emo."


Download some Dashboard Confessional, they're/he's emo out the.....wazoo. El terrible.

What's up with you? You sound like a dumbass redneck.

There is more to metal than just growling your guts out. Some of you need to broaden you music tastes, open your mind to melodic vocals. They are far from "emo sing song moments".

Great band.

I'd ignore the retards that simply posted "they suck". You'd probably find that they'll start naming a whole group of shit-metal bands that they think "rawk".

I completely agree. When I first got into metal I tried to be a "metal purist" and decide what is "real metal" and what is not. Not anymore, after broadening my musical tastes a bit. I can find enjoyment in ALMOST any music, although metal .... and especially Death metal and Metalcore are my favorites. I think it is childish to trash a specific band, or sub genre just because it isnt your taste.

As far as KSE goes, I think they are pretty talented. Some of the material sounds perhaps a bit rushed, but they have some good songs.

I wont go into any criticism, but i will say that i am no fan of theirs. That whole scene they are associated with (from some perspectives anyway) just doesnt appeal to me.

I just downloaded the advance of their new album. It's awful.

OK, so it's not as bad as some albums. But too much clean vocals. Doesn't go well.

Well, that's not the way things go. You search for a thread, if it exists, you post in it. If it doesn't, you create it. Why does it matter if we post in an old thread? And WHY would it be better if I created a new thread?

And I was pretty much stating that the new album was horrible, you dolt. Grow up.

Killswitch Engage's new cd is alright...lot more melodic and toned down to much in my opinion. I thought their 2000 release had some good songs on it like Temple From the Within.

Their new singer isn't nearly as good as their older one...he might look cooler but he can't do the stuff the older singer can do as well. I think he added to much of his other band...Blood Has Been Shed in the new KsE cd.
