so sorry guys! my dumbass scheduled this video for tomorrow even though it was supposed to be for today! love you guys so much and i hope you enjoy this reaction :)
10 YEARS ALEX! We waited 10 MO F*, nah I’m joking, we don’t mind waiting ;)
Alex Hefner Please react to some Bring me the horizon(something from the sempiternal album.)
Check out 'Right back at it again' by A Day to Remember, it will be worth it =D
Get that EXMORTUS song done
Please
God that video just screams "EARLY 2000s!" I miss those days.
Haha those old haircuts and shit.
They look so much like Linkin Park in their prime.
Had to quit everything I was doing for this reaction bro! This song will go down as one of the greatest KSE songs ever!!! Check our their songs, My Curse, Rose of Sharyn next or The End Of Heartache with Howard on vocals and let us know what you think!
SLVRGTP Alex will really enjoy My Curse
Zenith I think he’ll dig the lyrics and music a lot but I really want to hear what he thinks of Howard’s vocals and how they differed from Jesse. I’ve said before that they both brought two different styles to the band but neither changed what KSE was and are. I love and respect KSE as a whole and I’m stoked that Alex is reacting to them.
SLVRGTP I think it's important to note that he should listen to the album versions and not the radio edit versions.
yeah, it's the next logical step! I personally prefer Jesse over Howard but not for much, Howard is a beast! IDK, there's something about Jesse's voice that makes you feel what he feels...Another idea could be having Alex react to Days of Grace since "Hymn of a broken man" is practically another KSE album (and a very good one)...
The live version of End of Heartache could be fun to watch.
the lyric of jesse are always deep af and amazing!!
The whole album "Alive or just breathing" from start to finish is 10/10 check it out 👌
D Moynihan yes!
I double that
Their best album ..
THIS!!!
This whole album “Alive or Just Breathing” is awesome. I consider it the best one.
grasseyeball best killswitch engage album EVER
Most "True Metalheads" will never, and mean NEVER put a metalcore album in their top 10, hell, 100. But if a metalcore record exists that deserves METAL HOF(GODS) status, this is it.
No fuckin lie howie sings better but this dude is better
Agreed that was the first album i bought by Killswitch engage alive or just breathing
@@CoastalEddieinflames That’d be Iowa
Killswitch Engage - End of Heartache
This.
This
This! (Live)
Yes but not the music video version
Killswitch engage all songs
This was the song that introduced me to Killswitch back in the day. Never looked back
Metal, as in all music, makes you feel something that can only be expressed through angst. It's not about making others feel pain and suffering, its more to help (you as the listener) deal with your own in a way that only you can. Ever song has a different meaning for each person.
Beautifully said Chris!
I feel though, Metal Songs, even though they appear superficial in sound really stick these emotions to you.
Too bad corporations see Music as a sale enhancing background performance and people started to catch on to it a lot.
There are INCREDIBLY strong songs still made every day, most of them will never be heard though, even if they could help them through their struggle.
That's how I've always interpreted music, from Deicide to Depeche Mode.
Killswitch Engage - My Curse
You already react Killswitch Engage with Jesse, now you should react Killswitch Engage with Howard Jones on vocals. Songs like The End Of Heartache, In The Arms Of Sorrow, This Is Absolution, My Curse and Rose Of Sharyn. This are the songs that makes KsE the king of metalcore
Blackest Skyline don't forget holy diver cover too :)
Holy Diver (Dio Cover)
I second that... I love both KSE so to speak. What made it so great with the Howard era is that it sort of made KSE into two awesome metal bands.
This second run with Jesse is really an evolution of the band and I've been a fan since early 2000 and I still consider them my overall favorite metal band.
Yessssss. I was hoping for a kse video with Howard even though he's no longer in the band
Jesse is way better than Howard.
Killswitch is known for being one of the most positive forward metal bands out there. Their message tends to be very positive.
As I lay dying too
The album that brought metalcore to the masses.
I'd argue that As I Lay Dying's "Shadows are Security" or KSE's "The End of Heartache" did that with songs like "Confined" and "The End of Heartache"
Now it's time to introduce you to Howard. Another amazing vocalist and nobody else could have substituted Jesse in his prolonged absence. Very nice guy too who sat and talked to my best friend who was months in recovery from a severe car on pedestrian accident. Held up the line just to talk to my friend and give him his well wishes and was so interested that he survived. Sucked for the rest of the people but made my friend's day. I suggest Rose of Sharyn or End of Heartache
kyle mohler end of heartache gets my vote its one of my favorites from howard!
Check out Killswitch Engage - Rose of Sharyn!
You gotta hear their old vocalist. I love Jesse and Howard just the same but I like Howard's tone more.
Jesse is the old vocalist. :P
And then he was replaced by Howard. Then Howard left and Jesse came back. Pretty sure you knew what I meant. ;)
Course, I was just being cheeky.
Jesse is a better lyricist and Howard is the better singer. That said, they both rock. Jesse sings with pure passion and Howard know's how to fuck a crowd... God Howard can really command an audience. lol.
riffscreamer technically Jesse is their old vocalist
The screams, the beats, the distortion n the guitar riffs... Really fill my ears..
One of my fave.. from KSE.. 🤘
Howard sings it better though
I love that you said that people who love Metal are open minded...because metal music has a bad rap sometimes...a lot of people see it as "the devil's music" or whatever...so it does take an open minded person to listen to metal and appreciate it. So thank YOU for being open to the genre!
Oh yeah and for KSE , you should go "My curse" next
Valz Ron or Hate By Design
Dude I'm digging the content, and glad you're enjoying metal!
Devin Townsend - Deadhead (Live at Royal Albert Hall)
Joseph Bastidas please do this.
yes yes yes!!
Yes... yess.... yyyyeeeessss!!!! Heavy Devy!!!!!
KSE is so technically awesome. Adam D is one of the best guitarists and producers in the metal/metalcore scene, and the fact that Jesse is back in front of the band proves how well these guys really jived together. Love them!
I love Killswitch so damn much! I can't count how many times their music has helped me thru though times. I prefer Howard but Jessie has his own style that's equally as moving.
If you like the mixture between clean/harsh vocals listen All That Remains - This Calling
Hélder Tiago or literally any song of The Fall of Ideals
Personally I think "Not Alone" is far better
Metal also has a mathematical beauty to it. The time signatures and beautifully put together combination of sounds make me really appreciate it.
Do killswitch engage fixation on darkness 👍🏻
One of your best react videos, so far. Keep up the good work, glad your enjoying your metal experience.
Killswitch Engage - Rose of Sharyn. This is with their second singer Howard Jones. Is he better than Jesse? Dunno, I love em both! Like, my feelings about the group never changed with the singers haha. They both kick ass!
Spot the fuck on
SageNemesis sting is my favorite wrestler of all time!!!!!!
Wage War - Youngblood. Its about a fan of the band that commited suicide and was memoralized by an amazing song. Also Alive by Wage War, The River, or Stitches are absolute bangers
Thank you for doing this one Alex.
This song is so great as you'll find yourself singing 'FROM SORROW' and 'This is, my last, serenade' for the next few weeks, or decade for me!
SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS!
Watching you react to these videos reminds me of myself growing up to these songs. I appreciate your open mindedness to the genre and the emotion behind the tracks. The metal community is often misunderstood, so I thank you for giving the music an honest opportunity to speak for itself and understand truly what we stand for.
Btw, you're getting dangerously close to no longer being a hip hop head, but a real Metal Head! We're glad to have you.
It does not have an official video, but The Element of One is such an amazing and underrared song by them. It sounds a lot like this one. You'll get hooked instantly. Soft start, gets heavy, gets soft, gets heavy, ends soft. It's a masterpiece!
Mr.Keiser element of one is jesse's best song
Hell yeah, bro! You gotta check out some KSE with Howard Jones on vocals next! I like both vocalists, but Howard Jones has such a unique tone.
Whenever i think of Howard i think of a metal opera singer. anyone else think the same? at least when he sings those high clean notes
Kevin Barajas I agree - there is a bit of an operatic feel to some of his vocals.
That whole album changed my life. Plus I love your editing. Metal is soooooo underestimated and the truths and passion involved in the genre are incredible
U need to see them live bro! The energy is unreal and they always put on a hell of a show!!
Architects - Doomsday
He neeeeeds to get to Architects. No way around it
helll yes dude
I would also say Gone with the wind. I have never seen a song being performed with that amount of feelings before. Seeing "gone with the wind" live changed my view on Architects.
Amazing song! I'd say Doomsday has a crazy amount of feels as well though and I'd say it's better as an introduction to the band
Oh! Devil’s Island and their Untitled track.
Go listen to some Killswitch Engage when Howard was the lead singer. Let us know who you think is better.
MetalHead . 2449 I liked Howards clean vocals more, but Jessie's scream is great
nick ciccaglione same
Because people are allowed to have opinions...?
Also, people are allowed to like BOTH singers.. Lol don't be sensitive
I listen to all their shit... I personally don't have a favorite. Which is why I like to hear others opinions. Get it?
I like both of them, they are both great singers, I think the reason prefer Jesse though is that in my option Alive or just breathing was their masterpiece album and his vocals are so fucking awesome on that album
Holy diver from killswitch engage. It's a cover but done really well
This was the first song I ever heard from this band around when it came out I think and the year I got into band's like this. I was blown away, and had a similar reaction to it as you did. I always loved lyrics, and it does take an open mind to try to understand the songs and really feel it and the emotion that's put behind it and see the real meanings behind some of these songs. Another few good ones by this band are: Rose of Sharyn, and Starting Over (among others). Definately subbed after seeing these 2 reaction videos from you and I haven't even checked out the channel yet!
Killswitch is life this song is so OG and so ahead of it's time for the genre
this song takes me back to the early 2000s man I feel old now 😂😂
Dude your comment at the end about metalheads is so right on. You made me love your vids even more.
Aaaaah, moshing to this in the Krazyhouse in Liverpool for years! An escapism that I will always treasure. I adore this band! Beyond the Flames is gorgeous too 🤟🏼
Twilight of the thunder gods. By Amon amarth...
Yikes. He's gonna be wanting to lead the Berserkers against the hordes of Jotuns if he does!
I hope he does this epic ass song
It's been show in a study that metal heads are more in tune with their emotions and are genuinely more happy with their state of mind 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟 #metalforlife
Seeing your reaction to this music that I’ve been playing for years is reigniting my appreciation for it.
Hey bro, love your work! Your reactions take me back to how I felt when I first got around heavy music. Keep it up man ✌️
AILD - Through Struggle
Bravothree2 one of the first AILD songs I heard! Gets me right in the feels
Isaac Duplantis Totally, its was one of the first AILD songs I came across and I was hooked.
Beyond our suffering is my favorite
AeonAxis great choice!
AILD - The Sound of Truth
and Nothing Left.
a floor fliler when i used to dj this was one of those tracks that filled my floor at the club
I was not listening that much metal core, but since I found out Killswitch engage I really understand what metal core provides you and the enjoyment behind this music … it’s incredibly beautiful music !!!
That was awesome man! Loved the reaction, a lot of metal music does sound like noise to people but that’s because people are set in their ways and only like what they like, but I agree metal music and music in general has a sense of meaning behind everything that goes into producing the songs, killswitch has a lot of awesome songs, a lot of super meaningful ones too, I love bands that have a presence not just because of their popularity but because of the tone of their music!
Awesome reaction man! Managed to get here leave an awesome comment for you ;) so close to 40K man! Congrats, you deserve the best dude!
LetsGrindGames ❤️❤️❤️ I got nothing but love for you man! Thanks for the support 🙏🏼
Alex Hefner always!, going to be here forever man, just try get rid of me ;) haha won’t work? Thanks man! I appreciate the reply!
Hef!! I know you probably are getting a million different requests but if you liked this song and lyrics you gotta listen to Six by All That Remains. Love your videos brother!! Keep em comin!!!
Love the videos man! Nice to see someone bringing a positive outside perspective to metal. Everyone lets show him some Amon Amarth, Raise Your Horns.
Great reaction to a great song. Alive or just breathing has been one of my favorite records of theirs. Keep up the awesome work dude!
Fear Factory- Replica Reaction!!!!!! You won't be disappointed!!!!!
Ryan Weaver He really needs some Fear Factory!
Joseph Bastidas yes he does 100% needs Fear Factory in his life
Love that you're enjoying the metal, wish more people were as open minded as yourself. You should check out The Sword, great band, Freya or The Black River. Also, KSE Rose of Sharyn is great jam, loving the videos, keep banging em out.
one of my favourite song ever, glad you liked it! that was a really good and funny reaction haha great video!
Loved your reaction to this one. Mls is still one of my favorite songs from killswitch. Just barely breathing and the element of one (personal fav) from that same album are exceptional as well. That whole album (Alive or Just Breathing) is a landmark Metalcore album. As always, looking forward to more metal reactions. Dope ass days to us all!
Any Sevendust song will be amazing
Burt Reynolds have u heard that new album? It was 🔥
There's so many genre and sub-genre on metal
Thrash metal, death metal, black metal, heavy metal, power metal, grindcore, progressive metal, brutal death metal, blackened death metal, atmospheric metal, doom metal, stoner metal, melodic death metal, hardcore metal, metalcore, deathcore, slam metal, gore metal, nu metal, etc aaaaah so many dude!
Your journey on metal are just in the surface 😜
But I always waiting for your next metal react video
It's interested to know people like you from others type of music react to metal
And all those sub-genre labels that everyone just MUST have on the music and the "true" metalheads bickering what band plays what type of metal, or if it even is metal, is just the most annoying thing about the "metal community". I'm just glad that it mostly limits to the internet...
thank you for being open minded and going out of your wheelhouse. most people would just throw off metal music as being "angry/angsty teen junk" but you're helping bridge that gap, so once again, thank you.
Welcome to our intelligent awesome fam, Alex!
Absolutely loved your reaction to this. A classic by Killswitch.
Gonna see them live for the first time opening for Iron Maiden next week, super hyped.
So how that you have a lil taste of killswitch. You still have to get into the era of Howard. Dont get me wrong I love Jesse as the vocalist. Whether it be pre or post Howard. But Howard man....You have so much more to explore and fall in love with lol. So songs like My curse, or a light in a darkened world.
I like Jesse better but howard was great
React to Trivium - A gunshot to the head of trepidation Please!
Viper +1
I remember I seen this video back in the day when videos on TV were a thing. This song introduced me to KSE for the first time, and I've been a fan ever since.
Welcome to the Metal family brother, happy to see such an openminded dude! By the way, KSE is definitely one of my favorite bands too! Have fun exploring the Metal world, there's tons of good shit around!
This is the band (and song) that got me into the harder metal scene. Jesse Leach takes a lot of crap for his voice (which is silly, but lots prefer KsE other singer). He is a fantastic song writer. Nearly all of his lyrics are both meaningful and thought provoking.
His cleans were not good in first stint with KsE, but has gotten amazing in his return but Howard pushed KsE to new heights and his voice is so haunting and melodic and is just amazing, I love both and Signal Fire is a testament to that. My first song was this one but I grew up with Howard and I still can't listening to them with Jesse back cause their message is so amazing and it makes me happy everytime I hear them. KsE is my favorite band and it's not close for me
Yeah dude, the end of heartache!
Jesse is so much better now with this song, throat surgery, singing lessons and mature voice. Saw them in October 2019, amazing live!
Jesse Leach is my all-time favorite vocalist and song writer.... hands down, no one moves me and inspires me like Jesse. His raw energy, power and deliverance is like no other. When you see him live, you feel the passion in his voice every second of the show from start to finish. It's an experience like no other. The album Alive or Just Breathing is simply iconic from start to finish and was the beginning of the metalcore genre.
If you didn't know, Jesse has 2 other current bands / side projects... Times of Grace and The Empire Shall Fall. Would love to see some reaction videos of them.
Times of Grace was a side project of Adam D's, the rhythm guitarist and back-up vocalist for Killswitch Engage. He wrote the album while laid up in a hospital bed. Adam recorded all guitars, bass, drums (he plays them all) and back-up vocals for the album himself and recruited old friend and band mate Jesse Leach for lead vocals. They released the album and recruited a few fellow musicians to tour live, including Killswitch lead guitarist Joel. I saw them live, filmed the whole set while standing next to Adam D's parents in the reserved balcony (whole show on my channel), that was one my all-time favorite shows. Times of Grace's lyrics are very spiritual, positive, inspiring and uplifting.
Check out ---> Times of Grace - Live In Love [OFFICIAL VIDEO] -----> ua-cam.com/video/T2gc3dMKlto/v-deo.html and Times Of Grace - Strength In Numbers [OFFICIAL VIDEO] -----> ua-cam.com/video/VW6GtKeRo00/v-deo.html ..... or search for Where the Spirit Leads Me, Hymn of a Broken Man, Until the End of Days, The End of Eternity or literally anything off the album.... it's that damn good.
The Empire Shall Fall was (still is) Jesse's band prior to him rejoining Killswitch. They put out a fully independent album and an EP with 2 more EPs in the works that got put on hold when Jesse rejoined Killswitch. They are a local band to me... saw them many times in small intimate settings of a couple hundred people. Check out Awaken, Lords of War, Voices Forming Weapons, These Colors Bleed, Choir of Angels, We the People, The Kingdom... Jesse's lyrics are so powerful and meaningful.
There's a good lyric video of Voices Forming Weapons on UA-cam ---> ua-cam.com/video/nVOxagkR2cI/v-deo.html
I recorded this video of As The City Sleeps ----> ua-cam.com/video/24Lw0mFWnFA/v-deo.html right up close and personal standing on the front of the stage. The dude wearing the 'fuck racism' shirt is the singer for Acaro, he came out and did this song w/ Jesse... it was awesome!!! The sound is rather 'raw'... but that's how i like it!
Fun fact: My friend was the drummer in one of Jesse's earlier bands before Killswitch, Nothing Stays Gold (all songs on my channel), they used to practice in my friend's basement. :)
Anyway, sorry for writing a book. lol
One love.
Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars live at Sonic Pump Studios
ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ
Yeah keep asking dude
He will be blown away
Arch Enemy - The World is Yours
Zenith Arch Enemy - Rise
Of all the songs you chose this one.
Antelano I picked a song I know he’d like. I love Arch Enemy but he has never heard them.
Really awesome to see someone from the "outside" appreciate metal. Love your videos man, keep killing it!
I saw this band live and they played this song this is my favorite song from killswitch, they are just amazing live.
Okay, a couple of things 1: God dude! how enthusiastic you are always makes me smile, so thanks for that. I love these react channels and seeing a new generation get amped up to this shit! 2: If you dig this kind of metal you really should check out Fear Factory...a good place to start is Self Bias Resister from the Demanufacture release in '95 3: No offence, but I would hate to see you in a pit (you don't seem like the type)...so you should definitely go get in a pit ;) 4: MINISTRY ('nuff said). always fun, thanks bro.
beliel1345 I’m glad I can put a smile on your face! That’s my goal
ALL THAT REMAINS (BAND)
(SONGS)

I'm with you...I'm starting to believe it's a passing phase...hopeflly
Alex Hefner just go and check anything from Fear Factory, you won’t regret
Try Killswitch - This is Absolution
He really really need to hear that song.
Had to watch this again, just love it so much! I like the mixture you like too and I have a super super good suggestion!
It’s along the lines of scream/singing like this, just a bit different in guitar, I would love to hear your reaction to this band! Man can’t say this enough! Love the work man! 39K! Congrats!
I know you don’t like suggestion comments constantly but this band made me realise a band I haven’t seen suggested so here goes man ;) love ya! Keep up the awesome work HEFNERDS for life ;)
Artist: Veil of Maya
Song: Aeris
Awesome how you came up with the conclusion at the end man, I feel the same way, open minded intelligent people and on top of that, a friendly community, which is funny, because from experience, that is the exact opposite of what people outside the metal community judge the music and its fans
As I Lay Dying - A greater foundation pls :)
if you like screaming and melody mixture.. then the genre youre looking for is "metalcore"
Shakthivel Ganesan Word.
Nooope; TONS of melodeath has cleans and harshes and isn't metalcore. There are even cleans in some symphonic black metal, so really stop lying please. Lmao.
TheKarret he never said only Metalcore mixes harsh vocals and cleans, he just said it's good for that. He's not wrong.
TheKarret i know opeth is not metal core. Are you just trying to win an argument or trying to prove you're a metal geek and knows everything about every genre? Either ways you're just an immature fuck who got easily butt hurt just coz I "SUGGESTED" a genre. Lol the fact that you're so concerned with him listening to opeth in the near/far future and misunderstanding the genre when you don't even know if he will listen or not makes you so fucking jobless in life. What do you do? Work at McDonald's for 10 bucks a day? Go get a life lol..or just continue anal-ing your mom :)
Isaac Duplantis 💕💕
You're such a down to earth person, Alex. Loved your reaction videos from the first moment I saw them. My girlfriend in the back said "he's such a nice guy, I love how he's saying things" and I think we can all agree on that. Thanks for that one, bro!
If you find the time, please react to Architects. Songs like these colours don't run, the devil is near, gone with the wind and memento mori will definitely hit you deep.
Thanks again dude. Looking forward to the next my man!
I feel like this is why I listen to metal, bc the artists are absolutely intelligent people and the things they do with lyrics and music and meanings are off the charts intelligent sometimes. I love getting in their heads and learning new things or just connecting with the artists through their music. It's awesome what these bands can do and accomplish and the meanings behind things are cool to not only understand, but feel through their music.
"I"m loving metal" converting confirmation👍
If u like music like this u will love the band wage war
Knuckle Head Wage war is brutal
Dope as hell, as usual
Love your videos your funny as hell bro 😂 but there are SO many bands and songs that you'll be looking up but metal is amazing dude keep rocking!

Please react to Always by Killswitch Engage, it's my all time favourite song by them and conveys a powerful message. Loving the content, keep it up :)
KoЯn - Wicked
One thing can’t be denied or contested. Killswitch May have THE best instrument play in all of hard rock!! You NEED to react to another one of there absolute best songs from ALIVE OR JUST BREATHING. ELEMENT OF ONE is insane!! One of my favorite songs right now. Just like this one but 5 times better. DO IT PLEASE!
God damn it I love the melodic and hard shit switches, one of my favorites of there’s to listen with pounding bass, feels intense
