Killswitch Engage's new album "Disarm the Descent" due out April 2nd, single Feb 5th

[Fat-Elf]

Actually it was Adam D who didn't like No End In Sight. Or to be specific, he didn't like that it leaked because it is not his favorite song off the album.

Edit: Not hating Jesse but way to hype your album by saying that you regret putting a song on an album that isn't even in stores yet.

But on the other hand, I'm excited to hear that because No End In Sight was pretty weak, imo.

I did a cover of the solo if anyways interested. I'll make a tab tomorrow.

Whats up everybody. You guys should check out my new band Rising city states EP on bandcamp at risingcitystates.bandcamp.com. If you like what you hear, buy it for only 5 bucks! Thank you!

No.

Just an FYI (don't know if someone already mentioned it previously in the thread, if they did my apologies! ), if you pre-order the album on iTunes you get an advance copy of the single (In Due Time) to listen to now! Special Edition is only $11.99 on iTunes. SO pumped for this album, why is it not April yet?!

Single is meh ok, the song writing is pretty much straight forward what i would expect from KSE so I'm not necessarily surprised or blown away by anything. Finding Jesse's clean vocals in the chorus to be really hard to stomach *ducks behind wall* i kinda cringed when the chorus played But that might be because for the last 2 weeks I can't stop listening to Kataklysm's discography, Sylosis' new album, and old Megadeth. Biiiiit of a contrast

I guess Adam is the one playing the solo? Or Joel?

Adam has played all the solos on KSE songs minus one or 2 lead parts for the Holy Diver Cover, There is Joel solo on the new album though

Super stoked about the new album and this might cause some sharp intakes of breath but I hope it has a bit more of a Times of Grace twinge to it.

So what does everyone think of In Due Time? Personally, I'm feeling the more upbeat style of Jesse, its a nice change over Howards a bit more depressing approach.

I wouldn't be surprised if Adam did the solo because he did something quite similar for Strength in Numbers.

man, that times of grace record is still in constant rotation for me. fantastic album. if the new kse took some cues from that album, i'm all about it. i love the new single, and can't wait for the rest of the album.

Listening to the final (2) two Killswitch records with Howard and I think there are other issues going on. As DayLight Dies is one of my favorite records of all times. Vocally and musically, KsE had hit a peak on all fronts.

The 2nd release, of the two, which would of been the 3rd with Howard, self-titled Killswitch Engage lacks on all fronts. I find the music on the self-titled KsE to be some of the worse arranged and thought of music during the existence of KsE. Howard had to, not only write over it but, sing over it as well. He was doomed.

Hymn of A Broken Man was a better record then the 2nd self-titled KsE record. *On a side note- To have a second self-titled record seems, shit conceived, even if Howard didn't sound great*

I think Adam ran himself ragged. Touring, performing, injuries, side-projects, that second(?) Self-titled record. I believe he was doing too much. Add that with Howard and his problems, the weight was too much.

The first incarnation of KsE & Blood Has Been Shed was, ok. The leaving of Jesse, the bringing in of Jones & Foley, put KsE on a bigger map. During which time, Jesse got "Beast" with his vocals. Much better. I think he sounds like the Veer Union singer, Crispin, anyway. The new single sounds pretty damn good. This record will not sell better then, As Daylight Dies but, will sell better then the 2nd self-title.

Howard has yet to reveal any future plans, as I know but, you can't count out a talent like that. I for one would love to hear him with some ex-Chimaira guitarists or Tosin but, watevs...

The absolutely best thing I can agree with. It's a good day when KsE is dropping new material.

Yeah its definitely one of the 10 albums I'd rescue in a flood. It absolutely blew me away. I'd like if they made a new album but we'll be a while waiting before we get one and thats if they decide to make another at all now the Jesse is back working with Adam in KSE.

Yeah I think and hope we'll be seeing Howard again in a few years once he sorts out whatever he's going through. Maybe he might have done guest vocals on one of the songs on the new album like Jesse did on End of Heartache...

I'm pumped for this album! One of my favorite bands, and I'm glad to hear some killer new stuff from them.

I hope Adam takes on more vocal duties on the new KSE record like he did on Hymn of a Broken Man. Adam has got a nice, distinctive "clean" sound and compliments Jesse's very well so I think the two lads doing the harmonies instead of Jesse doing all vocal tracks added a whole other layer to their songs and I think it really expands the soundscape of their songs (sorry if that sounds fruity). This is one of the main reasons why I love that album, the vocal harmonies from Adam and Jesse just make Times of Grace sound bigger if that makes sense.

This. Love his singing and it always adds a little spice in the songs.
