It’s definitely worth checking out their cover of “Holy Diver” by Dio. Hilarious music video and a damn good cover of a song that is considered royalty in the rock/metal world
Killswitch was absolutely massive considering the type of music and when this was coming out. One of the, if not THE biggest metalcore band back in the day.
Adam D, the guitarist with the mud chops won the price is right. From what I heard, he never told the band and just showed up and said “yeah, I won a car”. But the price is right is on CZcams of him winning.
Fucking love this band! React to more of their songs. They have a lot of classics. "Holy Diver" "My Last Serenade" "Rose Of Sharyn" just to name a few. And speaking of songs about relationships, check out "My Curse."
Howard Jones is a legend, this is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands ❤️🔥 Please check out The Signal Fire. It has Howard Jones and the old/new frontman Jesse singing together. I got chills the first time I heard/watched it ❤️🔥
You have to check out In Flames "Ropes" or "Where Dead Ships Dwell". Been listening to them since the 90s. Also for a totally out of your realm Slaughter To Prevail "Viking" 🔥🤘🤘🤘
This song was in resident evil... so yes. made for commercial success lol. Howard has on eof the best voices in metal ever. a bit of trivia here... both Howard and Phil Labonte tried out for this band. Considering Phil ended up in another one of the largest metal bands of the 2ks (All That Remains), I can only imagine how insane the choice between them must have been. Also, Howard is now doing another project you should check out. Sion "The Blade" is the song to check out. even this many years later, his voice is INCREDIBLE.
Metalcore is still my favorite genre. You should check out All That Remains too (especially their older stuff. "The deepest grey" is a banger. Or "six", which was made popular by being one of the hardest songs on guitar hero)
Should also check out their music video to "Signal Fire" the singer in this video Howard Jones left the band and a new vocalist came in Jesse Leech. But the sing and music video has both performing vocals. The music video gave me chills to see Howard come back to join for a feature and have the past and present performing together
@@SparkimusPrime true my bad I genuinely forgot Jesse was the OG. Howard Era was when I first found them so in my head he was always the first singer for years
These guys are GOATed, and id recommend checking out the audio version in your own time. The music video tones down some of the screams in a way I think hurts the song.
"My Curse" is the first song of theirs that really caught me, but they've been a favorite for almost two decades. Well worth a listen. The End of Heartache was also on the Resident Evil 2 soundtrack. Another reason I love that movie.
KSE is the best metalcore band. Period. Howard Jones in one of the best metal singers ever. He needs to tour with the pop singer, Howard Jones, and they can cover each other's songs. Adam, the lead guitarist, is the creative genius behind the band. He used to be the drummer, then shifted to guitar. He sings incredible backing vocals, and he produces their music. This is a rabbit hole well worth diving into.
You need to check out Rose of Sharyn, my last serenade, holy diver, my curse, this signal fire with the original singer Jesse and Howard from this video
Yeah, these guys are an excellent live band, and if ya wanna hear BOTH Killswitch singers(Howard in the video is their 2nd singer and Jesse who was the OG came back) they have a song called Signal Fire, and they both go OFF!! KE is a criminally underrated band, and both singers are excellent!
More, all the killswitch. Gotta listen to thier live version of this song from 05, I was at that show and it's still one of greatest shows I've been to.
You have to check out their song Rose of Sharyn. Just one of the best emotional combinations of singing and screaming and lyrical content. It’s about the death of his mother.
Howard has since left KSE and their original singer returned. Howard has since made an album with Jared Dines and the album is called Sion, here's the link! czcams.com/video/n0ke6Pzw0QU/video.html
Oh ish!!!! Bruh. You gotta check out haelstorm - still of the night (white snake cover) bruh. Lizzy killed that cover. That and then killswitch covered Ronnie James Dio - holy diver. Beautiful. If you ever go heavier I got some ish for you bruh. Powerful sound. Powerful lyrics. So much you and your Mrs will start a mosh pit mid reaction 🤣🤣
Howard mf Jones hell yeah commercial success is an understatement resident evil movie trailer song. I'm a 57 year old black metal head have been my hole life. Was watching you and Knox Hill getting at you know who the valdamort of the rap game 😂😂😂 and when I saw this song I subbed. Might I suggest Jinjer a progressive metal band that is in my opinion one of the best bands I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Oh yeah light the touch is Howard new band
Tbh Cliff, this is the mix for the RE soundtrack, mixed completely different to the proper album version of this song, like was done to Slipknot's "Wait and Bleed." I'd honestly search out the normal version and listen to that, 1000x more powerful.
You said “fight song to heartache” and it trigger a thought Have you done Godsmacks “crying like a b*tch” I originally thought about you and it when all the “head and shoulders” disses were happening And then today taking my boys and daughter to Jujitsu it came on the playlist and my son said it was amping him up for his sparring and I had to show him the official music video with UFC in it. He was noticing all the A Listers from a decade ago and saw BJ Penn (huge respect for our island boy) and then Rampage Jackson who was the inspiration for his name - he LOVED the video Anyone want a rock “diss” (written towards another band they toured with who didn’t appreciate their second chances and respect the other bands and their fans) and also a amp you and get the blood flowing- Check out Crying like a B’tch by Godsmack
Howard Jones is a top 3 metal vocalist for me. He is absolutely fantastic and powerful
Yes.
1st Howard
2nd Howard
3rd Howard
1st. Howard
2nd. Chester
3rd. Adam G
It’s definitely worth checking out their cover of “Holy Diver” by Dio. Hilarious music video and a damn good cover of a song that is considered royalty in the rock/metal world
One of my favorite covers
Dude absolutely. I’d love to hear this one!
Bruh. They have such a great catalogue. I can’t name a bad song.
Killswitch was absolutely massive considering the type of music and when this was coming out. One of the, if not THE biggest metalcore band back in the day.
Prime Metalcore at its finest.
Good choice, much better live though
Set the world of blaze of course
Bro, that one live version (you know the one) made me lose my mind when I first heard it.
One of the few bands that somehow can sound better live🔥
Every one if their albums can be played start to finish, so fucking good
Dude!!!! They are great. Both Jessie and Howard are amazing as lead men.
Signal Fire is a must. It brings them both in on the same track.
I was just going to suggest Signal Fire
Yes!!! "The Signal Fire"
You should watch his live of this song. Saw them live decades ago and they were amazing.
Adam D, the guitarist with the mud chops won the price is right. From what I heard, he never told the band and just showed up and said “yeah, I won a car”. But the price is right is on CZcams of him winning.
Greatest Band Ever!!! They are Metal Core!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😁🇺🇸
Fucking love this band! React to more of their songs. They have a lot of classics. "Holy Diver" "My Last Serenade" "Rose Of Sharyn" just to name a few. And speaking of songs about relationships, check out "My Curse."
I’ve just added the same songs along with the signal fire
God this song takes me right back to high school! This whole album was straight up 🔥
I like the heavier version on the album then the music video
The live version of this is dynamite
The best killswitch ever was when they had Howard out front .
Unfortunately people always pick songs like this that don't really show you what he's really all about.
Especially if it's the so called "radio friendly" version where they edit the screams and growls.
Big 4 of metalcore
Killswitch Engage
Bullet for my Valentine
As i lay dying
All that remains
People are naming various recommendations, you need to dive into all of it, your world will be a better place with these guys in it
Very underrated. I appreciate the review & giving them exposure
Howard Jones is a legend, this is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands ❤️🔥 Please check out The Signal Fire. It has Howard Jones and the old/new frontman Jesse singing together. I got chills the first time I heard/watched it ❤️🔥
Same ! I’ve seen them
Multiple times in concert…absolutely phenomenal
One of the best metalcore bands in the biz
And Howard jones voice is gold
Killswitch Engage is awesome
God this band is so fucking good
You have to check out In Flames "Ropes" or "Where Dead Ships Dwell". Been listening to them since the 90s. Also for a totally out of your realm Slaughter To Prevail "Viking" 🔥🤘🤘🤘
Need to hear the live version of this. Its epic.
Great song
Had the pleasure of seeing them live right when this song popped off. One of the best live shows I've been to, and I've been to a lot.
Should also check out "LIGHT THE TORCH - BECOME THE MARTYR" . Same lead singer
I got this album in my car right now..awesome reaction
This was on the Resident Evil movie soundtrack. Was commercial for awhile. Good song boss
More please
Been listening to killswitch since high school man!!
iirc this song was used in one of the Resident Evil films
One of my favorite songs of all time!! The number of times I’ve driven along, scream- singing this at the top of my voice… KIllswitch is top notch!
This album was stuck in my old explorer cd player for like 4 years. Couldn’t have been a better cd to get stuck 😂
Howard Jones is a beast!
When darkness falls is another banger
This song was in resident evil... so yes. made for commercial success lol. Howard has on eof the best voices in metal ever. a bit of trivia here... both Howard and Phil Labonte tried out for this band. Considering Phil ended up in another one of the largest metal bands of the 2ks (All That Remains), I can only imagine how insane the choice between them must have been. Also, Howard is now doing another project you should check out. Sion "The Blade" is the song to check out. even this many years later, his voice is INCREDIBLE.
Howard Jones is legendary. You should check out their 13 minute live version.
The one with boobs?
Edit: I think that was Holy Diver live
Gotta do more Killswitch with Howard
Good f*cking god I love this band.
Metalcore is still my favorite genre. You should check out All That Remains too (especially their older stuff. "The deepest grey" is a banger. Or "six", which was made popular by being one of the hardest songs on guitar hero)
Hell yea!
Inspiration is okay. Inspiration is to be expected.
You should watch the live version
Howard is my homeboy!
Should also check out their music video to "Signal Fire" the singer in this video Howard Jones left the band and a new vocalist came in Jesse Leech. But the sing and music video has both performing vocals. The music video gave me chills to see Howard come back to join for a feature and have the past and present performing together
Jesse -> Howard -> Jesse 🖤
@@SparkimusPrime true my bad I genuinely forgot Jesse was the OG. Howard Era was when I first found them so in my head he was always the first singer for years
@@Rand0mHero713 Absolutely feel that 🖤
These guys are GOATed, and id recommend checking out the audio version in your own time. The music video tones down some of the screams in a way I think hurts the song.
My uncle and his band were and still are signed by RoadRunner Records Germany
Sooo good. Love this but I agree you should check out the live version… it is amazzzzzzzing
"My Curse" is the first song of theirs that really caught me, but they've been a favorite for almost two decades. Well worth a listen. The End of Heartache was also on the Resident Evil 2 soundtrack. Another reason I love that movie.
Great song but the live version really showcases Howard’s vocals 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
The guitarist does the nasty screaming
You should listen to their cover of Holy Diver!
As soon as I saw Killswitch Engage on the vid name, I instantly clicked 🧐😎
KSE is the best metalcore band. Period. Howard Jones in one of the best metal singers ever. He needs to tour with the pop singer, Howard Jones, and they can cover each other's songs.
Adam, the lead guitarist, is the creative genius behind the band. He used to be the drummer, then shifted to guitar. He sings incredible backing vocals, and he produces their music. This is a rabbit hole well worth diving into.
Should have done live he screams which is almost as good as his cleans
You need to check out Rose of Sharyn, my last serenade, holy diver, my curse, this signal fire with the original singer Jesse and Howard from this video
It's been a minute since I heard this last , still get goosebumps...Great song , great band...
I REALLY wish they would've used the album version for the video.
Howard is the best. These guys were huge back in the day. I would check out My Curse
Live version is a must!🔥
❤❤❤
May favorite band for 20+ years My favorite feakin band
Fit the algo
Howard”s voice is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, these guys are an excellent live band, and if ya wanna hear BOTH Killswitch singers(Howard in the video is their 2nd singer and Jesse who was the OG came back) they have a song called Signal Fire, and they both go OFF!! KE is a criminally underrated band, and both singers are excellent!
Try my curse by them
❤
You should check out killswitch engaged my curse great track 😎
Yessssssss!!!!!!! Bro. So happy. This is epic
All i think of is the end credits of "Resident Evil" when i hear this song. Gets me so hyped every time.
Bro, gotta check out Sevendust! (if you haven't already) Waffle, Denial, Licking Cream. Lead singer is just amazing! Same type of vine as this.
Let's goooo
More, all the killswitch. Gotta listen to thier live version of this song from 05, I was at that show and it's still one of greatest shows I've been to.

Howard has since left KSE and their original singer returned. Howard has since made an album with Jared Dines and the album is called Sion, here's the link! czcams.com/video/n0ke6Pzw0QU/video.html
My favorite from the Sion project is The Blade.
Sick man! I hope you do more metal reactions in the future.
Oh ish!!!! Bruh. You gotta check out haelstorm - still of the night (white snake cover) bruh. Lizzy killed that cover. That and then killswitch covered Ronnie James Dio - holy diver. Beautiful. If you ever go heavier I got some ish for you bruh. Powerful sound. Powerful lyrics. So much you and your Mrs will start a mosh pit mid reaction 🤣🤣
I wonder if cliff has ever done Dig by Mudvayne
Howard mf Jones hell yeah commercial success is an understatement resident evil movie trailer song. I'm a 57 year old black metal head have been my hole life.

Please check out their track When Darkness Falls. Banger!!!! And then after that, check out everything they have ever done. Lol.
Check out his band Light The Torch. Will not disappoint.
You said “fight song to heartache” and it trigger a thought
Have you done
Godsmacks “crying like a b*tch”
I originally thought about you and it when all the “head and shoulders” disses were happening
And then today taking my boys and daughter to Jujitsu it came on the playlist and my son said it was amping him up for his sparring and I had to show him the official music video with UFC in it.

Anyone want a rock “diss” (written towards another band they toured with who didn’t appreciate their second chances and respect the other bands and their fans)
and also a amp you and get the blood flowing-
Check out Crying like a B’tch by Godsmack
You gotta check out Diamonds to Dust.
You should defo check more of killswitch. When Darkness Falls probably one of the best that NO one ever reacts to 😅
If you get the free time you should listen to the album version! Man there is much left out of this video version musically
Bro then you'll luuurve this one too! Stone Sour - Inhale
You gotta react the album or the live version. This one is watered down instrumentally for commercial push.
Amazing tune, there is a heavier version which I prefer.
Enter Shikari should be your next reaction.
Either "sorry you're not a winner* or *satellites*
Remember watching this live.
Personally prefer the audio only version (vocals are slightly diffrent, much heavier tone)
Love to see you doing something heavy but not as mainstream like La Dispute's song King Park
You’ve gotta check out: Panic! At The Disco - Bohemian Rhapsody (Live) [From the Death Of A Bachelor Tour], it is amazing!!
The filmclip is totally different to the real version. They took out most
the screams. This makes it sound like Nickleback
Dont get it twisted... End of Heartache is also a fight song
Killswitch was my peak perfect blend of harsh and clean vocals. Then Tatiana from Jinjer came along…😂🇺🇦
We need “Overcompensate” by Twenty One Pilots
Cliff I implore you to listen to the album version I beg of you
Please do "Reject yourself"
If you like killswitch check out allegaeon called home you will really like this one
