| | Killswitch Engage As Daylight Dies CD Killswitch Engage Discography of CDs
 (33 Customer Reviews)
That Killswitch Engage is able to mix melody with their sonic wallop is one of the band's greatest assets, and a song like "This Is Absolution," which alternates stomping screamo with a soaring singalong anthem, is a case in point. Vocalist ... Full DescriptionHoward Jones can switch from subhuman roars to melodic metal singing in the blink of an eye, and the band, likewise, can drop into various meters, blaze through textured riffs, and create sledgehammer rhythms that thunder and crush. These qualities will be familiar to Killswitch fans, but the band just does everything better on AS DAYLIGHT DIES, turning in one of the most accomplished metal releases of 2006.
The fourth full-length from post-hardcore metal outfit Killswitch Engage steps up the already stellar caliber of the punishing music featured on their prior releases. In fact, AS DAYLIGHT DIES weighs in as one of the group's best releases, showing off their increasingly dazzling technical prowess and musical sophistication while never compromising their relentless attack.
Killswitch Engage: Howard Jones (vocals); Adam Dutkiewicz, Joel Stroetzel (guitar); Mike D'Antonio (bass guitar); Justin Foley (drums).
Spin (p.101) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The rhythm section lays down an almost buoyant grind, and the dual guitars launch flaming arrows of riffage."
Alternative Press (p.183) - "Tracks like 'Unbroken' and 'My Curse' rock with the same effortless flow between ire and beauty that one might expect. Lead vocalist Howard Jones once again puts on a sensational display of range..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (pp.54-55) - "A towering record of rich melody and undeniable power, KSE have once again proven themselves as one of the most consistently impressive metal bands around..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.66) - Ranked #17 in Kerrang's "20 Greatest Albums of 2006" -- "[A]n immaculate tour-de-force of raging metal power..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.49) - "A modern classic, Killswitch's crushing, technically dazzling and brutally beautiful metal perfectly complementing Howard Jones' muscular screams and warm, heartfelt singing..." Hide Description Killswitch Engage As Daylight Dies Songs As Daylight Dies Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Beastly Album!!!
Howard Jones's vocals on this album are top-notch. He has great heavy screaming backed with higher-pitch screaming, which creates a cool dual effect. He also sings incredible clear, melodic pieces that are very powerful.
The guitar work is fantastic. The tempo changes keep it interesting, and the riffs are skull-crushing at times. At other times, they are more artistic sounding. This album has a great mix of sounds. This album opened my eyes to the hardcore metal genre. Before I heard this album, I HATED screaming vocals, but this album proves that they can be used in wonderful ways. I highly recommend this album!!!

 Great CD, Their Best Yet
Im a kind of person who listens to all kinds of rock. This being the only great heavy metal cd ever. Killswitch Enage has come a long way and this is by far their best effort. "The Arms of Sorrow", "My Curse", and "For You" are the best songs by far. But the cd is great as a whole, definitly a must have!!

Howard Jones' performance on this album aswell as the rest of the band blows me away! The heavy instrumental element combined with Howards screams/melodic vocal style make this release one of KSE's BEST. I strongly recommend this album to anyone who loves Metal and KSE! 5 easy stars!!!

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
As Daylight Dies CD music
$6.39 
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's topped only by Ron Wood's reappearance on a finale of the ...

As Daylight Dies music CDs
$9.99
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 ...

"In 1963 an event took place that would change the world, FOREVER. Now, nearly 40 years later, The Secret Has Been Revealed."Project 814 "Declassified" ushers in a return to the truth in rock music by combining elements of traditional classic rock with progressive tendencies and meaningful lyrics. Launched in a time when the music industry superpowers appeared focused on force-feeding the public "manufactured" boy bands, "sexually enhanced" teenyboppers and the self-destructive screams of metallic rappers.It was because of this overwhelming evidence of a global conspiracy to deceive the ears and control the minds of music fans that a new genre of music was formed, called "conspiracy rock". Project 814 Declassified is another salvo fired in an effort to further unveil the fact that there is truth and talent found in independent music.Songwriter/Bassist/Producer Jon Pomplin has created ...
