    He looks so nervous. I feel him, though. I have social anxiety through the fucking roof. Props to him for overcoming his struggles and giving others hope through his music. His lyrics really resonate with me.

      Jesse is much better now than he used to be. He has grown as a person and seems much more comfortable in his own skin. And I really love his voice and what he sings about😃.

  • @MegaMerdeux
    @MegaMerdeux 4 роки тому +28

    The first time I heard of KSE was when my last serenade came out. I instantly liked the band even when Jesse left and Howard took the helm. They're both amazing vocalist, and that band will always be my favorite. I went through a similar path just like Jesse in my teenage years, when I was anti-social, depressed and a complete mess. Looking back now I barely recognise myself, and that band helped my through rough times back in the days.

      They got me into metal too! I heard my brother listening to KSE and said it was dumb.. He later made me listen to a softer song (My Curse of course.. lol) and I slowly fell in love. I hardly listen to them anymore (more into prog metal now) but I'll correct Jessie: Alive or just breathing is absolutely a masterpiece..

Those are still great bands by the way, but Alive or Just Breathing.... booom... whats left to say, what is a masterpiece anyway, i dont know, i just know, booom.... It kicks ass every time i put on that record, i even played some of the songs for my child while she was in my wifes tommy. Shes one year old now, every Fixation on the darkness comes on, she goes nuts!

The band really took off when Howard too over vocals...but I am glad Jesse is back. It gives that original sound that started this band in the first place. I absolutely love the new material. Jesse man..you are killing it and I am glad you came back brother!

    WHAT!!!! A GOOD EFFORT!!!! Alive or just breathing is a great album. If it wasn't for albums such as Alive or just breathing, a snowcapped romance, frail words collapse, this darkened heart, suicide notes and butterfly kisses, sounding the seventh trumpet, waking the fallen, Clayman, the caitiff choir. A lot of the albums that came out from 1999-2004 pretty much started a domino effect and i just started looking up bands similar to the bands i was listening to because i was very much into the metalcore scene back then. I remember constantly buying Alternative Press magazine and Revolver and finding out about a lot of bands that way. They would have articles like 100 bands to watch out for and it would have who they sound similar to. That's how i found the confession, it dies today, the devil wears prada, protest the hero and several other bands. The confession didn't get that far, but the requiem album was awesome. I thank killswitch engage for being one of the bands that influenced me to start a metalcore band.

    I had the privilege of playing with Jesse's band Seemless back in 96 or 97, they actually opened for my band at the time (not sure how that came about). Of course I did the fanboy thing and gushed about KE and how much I admired him as a vocalist, but after that we spent a half hour or so just talking music. He's no joke. Genuine, determined, and a hell of a nice guy.

I got to chill with all the dudes and went back to their Hotel and hung out with them there, we partied “wink wink” and I just couldn’t imagine chilling with Jessie, what a great night that must have been brother!💪😊

      I fell in love with KSE when I first heard them at the end credits of the first Resident Evil movie (End of Heartache). So it was always Howard I knew. Went back and listened to Jesse era material and wasn't fond of it. But when Disarm the Descent and Times of Grace came out, he quickly won me over.
