| | Killswitch Engage End Of Heartache CD Killswitch Engage Discography of CDs
 (68 Customer Reviews)
On Killswitch Engage's previous two albums, the group delivered the sort of passionate speed/thrash rarely heard since RIDE THE LIGHTNING-era Metallica and REIGN IN BLOOD-era Slayer. With THE END OF THE HEARTACHE, which features new singer Howard Jones, the band takes its signature sound to a new, absolutely ferocious level, combining slicing, neo-classical guitar riffs with vocals that alternate between gut-wrenching death-metal grunts and melodic crooning. In addition, drummer Justin Foley seems to have channeled both Metallica's Lars Ulrich and Pantera's Vinnie Paul, adding enough pummeling double-kick madness to put a smile on any old-school metal-head's face. Though the album's wide-screen production values keep it from ever sounding too retro, THE END OF HEARTACHE will appeal to anyone pining for the '80s glory days when serious metal was synonymous with long hair and Anthrax t-shirts.
Killswitch Engage: Adam Dutkiewicz (vocals, guitar, percussion); Howard Jones (vocals); Joel Stroetzel (guitar); Mike D'Antonio (bass guitar); Justin Foley (drums).
Recording information: Zing Studios, Westfield, Massuchusetts (12/15/2003 - 01/29/2004).
Rolling Stone (p.120) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "[A] stunning collection, retaining much of their signature musical brutality but teasing with electric hooks, strategic use of silence and, on 'Rose of Sharyn,' just a bit of emo..."

I thought this album was great. Guitarists sound great, vocals on right on, and screaming is pretty awesome. "The End Of Heartache," -#7- is pretty much my favorite song. But I would definetly suggest this album.

Awesome
Hey to any of you punks talking crap on killswitch your lucky i don't look you up and come beat you down myself. I got all the cds and this one might just be the best.. idk though they are all sick. Some people just don't know what good music is, if you like their first 2 CDs there's no reason you wouldn't like this other than your trying to be cool and different or something. Oh and it doesn't matter if its super complicated or not. Music is supposed to sound good, thats all. but yah i just had to say somethin to you punks.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Killswitch Engage is not emo
First things first: This album is not as bad as many of you whiny ppl think, you just have to listen to it more than once, then you'll begin to like it. Another thing is that they have a really unique own style which is honorable these days, you can tell from miles that it is KSE playing. Third thing: Who the hell cares that the things they play is not difficult? It's metal man, not some kinky classical music, it's supposed to sound good, it doesn't have to be complicated. By they way the riffs they have are way more harder than the riffs of all the new wave and nu metal bands. And the last thing: They are not EMO! Just because they've got some light singing and chorus in their songs it doesn't mean they are, it just makes their music more colorful and less boring. I'm tired of bands who scream throughout the whole album, what's the damn point in that???! EMO doesn't deserve to be even mentioned along with KSE!

End Of Heartache
$12.39
As influential originators of a revolutionary and oft-copied hybrid of metal and industrial dance music, Fear Factory is one of the few groups that could release an album entitled ARCHETYPE without a hint of self-aggrandizement. The music contained within lives up to the disc's name, but the band also continues to evolve, expanding its sound without making the slightest concession to music-industry pressure or prevailing trends.
Despite the absence of guitarist/founding member Dino Cazares (who left the group before this record), Fear Factory sounds tighter and more ferocious than ever, kicking out robotic, skull-crunching grooves with superhuman efficiency. In many places, the group tempers its sonic onslaught with melodic choruses and surprisingly clean guitar effects, occasionally sounding ...
| | Trivium Ascendancy CD (2005)
End Of Heartache
$13.85 
Riding the wave of bands like Shadows Fall and labelmates Killswitch Engage, Trivium bring together the speed of thrash, the melody of classic metal, and the aggression of hardcore in one seamless package. Founder and guitarist/vocalist Matt Heafy uses metal-core screams, James Hetfield-esque growls and sing-along melodies to carry the title track. In the first few bars, "Departure" changes style from acoustic strumming to thrash riffs to full death-metal rage, while "Rain" takes a great opening riff and makes it even better with a subtle and unexpected harmonic shift. Showing maturity beyond his 19 years, Heafy crafts songs packed with power, precision, solos, and hooks.

| | Mudvayne Lost And Found CD (2005)
End Of Heartache
$8.99
Drummer Matt McDonough and bassist Ryan Martinie play as if they are the same person, tossing off impossibly complex lock-step riffs ("Determined," "Just") like most bands hit an open E chord. On "Happy?" and "Fall into Sleep," singer Chad Gray moves from a throat-shredding rasp to sweet melodicism at the drop of a hat, taking angst-filled lyrics to new heights of dark obsession. Luckily, despite the inherent negativity of Gray's words, the seemingly boundless energy and impressive musicianship of LOST AND FOUND make for an uplifting listening experience.

A surprising amalgam of punk and metal, with a dash of emo, Finch's full-length debut is a powerful statement of first principles from this Temecula, CA quintet. Kicking off with the storming, anthemic "New Beginnings," they rush headlong through a set that positively bursts with uncorked energy, from the chiming, mid-tempo "Post Script" to the punky "Stay ...
