Not only he is black, Howard Jones is a fucking legend in the metalcore scene. His vocals are perfect and hes still appearing in the high energy gigs of Killswitch at 50 years old.
@@mattw6705 Howard is not an official member of the band anymore but he often appears at gigs, as a special guest and i think he's an even better singer now then before.
@@mattw6705 Nah Howard has his own band now, Light the Torch. KSE did release a song a couple years ago called The Signal Fire that has both Howard and Jesse on it, you should check it out if you haven't yet.
that man is Howard Jones, who was the vocalist during their biggest period in popularity. he is still going strong today in a different band called Light the Torch. they are so good. Howard’s voice is so powerful in many ways. he can sing you to sleep and scream you awake. his connection to KSE is so meaningful to metalcore fans in the 2000’s and beyond. hands down, one of the best vocalists ever.
Howard has one of the most brutal screams in the business, they toned this song down a bit for a movie but its still good. Another good song of theirs is The Signal Fire, its a duet with their new/old singer and it fucking goes in.
Yes black men in metal is rare as to white men to hip hop but dont judge bestie boys legends of hip hop and killswitch is obvious one of a kind we need mixture of culture it's the beauty of music that can inspire everyday people to be open to just listen a minute and love life
The Howard Jones rabbit hole is worth the journey, he is truly one of a kind and one of the all time best vocalists, def check out the live version, My Curse, Rose of Sharon, and a project he did with Jared Dines called Sion(Howard’s middle name) and the lead single called ‘The Blade’ guaranteed to blow you away 🤘💯
Howards a beast. I love Killswitch cause they’ve got it all, you want great cleans, go for Howard, you want great screams, go for jesse, theyve both got great heavier songs and great slower, more “depressing” tone type songs.
Howard is a legend.. funny fact. I listened to their music for years back before UA-cam and shit, and only found out he was black when i went to see them live after like 3 years of listening to them.. LEGENDARY voice.
Howard Jones, he's pretty much one of the legends of metalcore, others being Phillip Lebonte (all that remains) Tim Lambesis (as I ay dying) and Matt Tuck (bullet for my valentine) sadly he's not in Killswitch anymore but definitely check out My Curse, This is Absolution and The Arms of Sorrow, all goated songs with him
I enjoyed watching you and how you enjoyed the music yourself! I am from Southamerica......imagine me as the only metalhead in the family. My Mom back then thaught it was only some phase I am going through that will pass😂. 30 years later I am still a metalhead...and ofcourse without forgetting where my roots are from😊. Greetings from Switzerland...where I live now🔥🤘🏽
Howard Jones is a fuckin beast dude. The man has powerful verbrado even in a live show. That's not easy running around on stage keeping the crowd energy high. Rose of Sharon and when darkness falls , are insane songs bro. Thank you for letting us listen to this with you! Keep going!
For Howard Jones, you can also listen to Sion, and Light the Torch. Check out Sevendust with Lajon Witherspoon from Atlanta, GA. For Sevendust I recommned Everything for a New song or Dying to Live for an older song. Then there is also Fire From the Gods either listen to Trust, it's a lyric video from them or Right Now, an offical music video.
He Is... "Howard Jones" Unfortunately, He is not anymore on the band. But... If you like his voice Maybe you should hear something About the band called... Light The Torch you gonna love it, especially Wilting In The Light by Light The Torch
I love Howard Jones, man. Great voice, I will follow him to any band he joins. You want to see another great band with a black front man, listen to Sevendust.
I love how hype you got listening to this. I feel like this every. single. time. KE is a great band, but Howard is phenomenal. His vocal range is astounding, and his ability to sing beautifully and scream so intensely. I saw them live when he still fronted the band and...ugh...his voice. 🥰 Superb! My fave metalcore band by far.
I have not checked you library yet but if you liked Howard singing and were surprised a black man was singing it check out Sevendust. Lajon Witherspoon is another black vocalist who has an ammazing voice. Should check out their song Licking Cream featuring Skin from the band Skunk Anise. She has got some amazing pipes on her.
He’s not with Killswitch Engage anymore. He had to take a long leave of absence and didn’t know if he’d be returning so the original/current singer (Jesse) came back to replace him. Good news is he joined the lead guitarist of KSE in a band called Light the Torch and they kill it live. Jesse is good too but he’s not quite the singer Howard is.
There’s a metal documentary series called metal evolution the entirety of them is it a single playlist you can probably find it it’ll help you understand the entire thing, including all the different sub genres. Although every episode is around 40 minutes to an hour long and I think there’s like 12 or 13 episodes so I would recommend watching one every other day.
@@caseyrogers573 There's been black singers in metal before and they all were embraced. Identity politics and culture marxism are societal cancer. I guarantee that you grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood. It's always the ones who haven't grew up in the hood that have this unhealthy obsession with race.
If y’all liked the content hit that SUB BUTTON!! Love y’all❤!!! Go show some love on my second channel youtube.com/@JayVee147
I want to see this bro rap to Nemesis by Arch Enemy. He would kill it!!!

They got Howard back?? Haven't really kept up with Killswitch since he left and they got their original singer back.

I been a fan of Jones since blood has been shed and his voice does stick out because he has a strong and amazing voice whether screaming or singing.
Howard Jones' voice is so powerful and expressive! Please react to more metalcore!

They toned it down for resident evil two apocalypse this is the video that plays during the credits or in the extra features can’t remember which one.
@@joncook2171 why they would need to tone it down for a horror-suspense thriller I will never know.
Bro was vibing. Love to see it! Seeing these guys live in the UK in 3 weeks!

Man, Howard is a POWERHOUSE vocalist! definitely in the top 5 metal voices, LJ from Sevendust is my personal #1

One of the greatest tracks ever put together in music history.. and I’m Jamaican .. I got my bias
Gotta listen to the album version, his opening scream is everything!!

These dudes kick ass live
Howard jones baby!!!! Seen him live 7x and will goto every show within 100 miles lol
Howard Jones and Killswitch is legendary and respected by all metalheads around the globe
Michel Oliveira from Brazil does a vocal cover of this song, but he can also play guitar like this and then some.
I have yet to see a negative reaction from this song or killswitch in general. This song is revolutionary.
He Is... "Howard Jones"
Unfortunately, He is not anymore on the band.
But... If you like his voice
Maybe you should hear something About the band called...
Light The Torch you gonna love it, especially
Wilting In The Light by Light The Torch
I finally got to see Howard Jones perform a few years ago. He is awesome to watch
Watch the live version. It’s worth the watch
solace: comfort or consolation in a time of distress or sadness
Howard is the most powerful vocalist in metal!
He has a new band called light the torch and sounds amazing
Lol, when the cat meowed. I thought it was in my house. Which is wierd cause we don't have a cat.
LMAOOO
Howard's voice is one of THE best, and his screams are phenomenal
I know I'm late, but that, sir, motherfuckin Howard Jones!
I love Howard Jones, man. Great voice, I will follow him to any band he joins. You want to see another great band with a black front man, listen to Sevendust.

You should check out SION its also Howard Jones

Since you’re dipping your toes into metal, might I suggest Two Weeks by All That Remains and Tears Don’t Fall by Bullet for My Valentine.
Watch the whole video of the take this oath show… soo hype
You need to do the live version to appreciate howards range
Sevendust and fire from the gods!!!!
Great song
Keep grinding. You are doing a great job honey .
Thank you so much love 🖤

Cute cat.

I had to give a like for nyla lol my fluffy boy ghost is just as spoiled. And he knows he's worth it lol 😂

Howard ! best clean vocal
Bro don’t listen to anyone else. It is a big deal that he’s black. You do you.
It shouldn't be. It's only a big deal to people who are far too focused on race.
@@RegurgiNate84 Nah, It’s a big deal.
