Love the Howard era. He replaced Jesse then left with health issues and Jesse is back with them. Howard is still on good terms with the band. Rose Of Sharyn is my favourite Howard song 🤟
You guys are correct! Metal core is name of this genre. Heavy but melodic, and for me these guys carry the metal core flag. I like both singers, but Howard is one of my favorites, and he keeps getting better with age. Just Listen to Sion, his new project, he sounds amazing. The song is The Blade. Keep it up!
sion was actually a good project, lots of effort put into it, kinda disappointing some of the community actively hate on jared dines because howard genuinely wanted to work with him.
I remember seeing these guys live when they toured for this album back in 2004. I can't believe that was 17 years ago already! They were excellent live!
Jesse was cool, he had some great melodies he would do. But Howard is just a powerhouse. He can hit the notes, he knows about dynamics, he's always on pitch. One of a kind dude right there.
I honestly never understood the whole Jesse vs Howard thing. It's not like ones great and the other one sucks imo, I like Jesse's screams, lyrics, and stage presence better than Howard's. But it's undeniable that Howard is the superior vocalist and is the more consistent singer. I was introduced to KSE thru howards catalog and loved them. Love both singers, just love the band in general. I hated metal core screaming shit as a kid, this band was the band that changed my ears, and the OG avenged sevenfold albums as well
I absolutely love Killswitch! Thank you for reacting to them! If you guys enjoyed this version, you should listen to the studio version of this song too! More harsh vocals/more emotion in that version. And yes, Killswitch is classified as metalcore.
They started with Jesse who had to leave due to some personal struggles, they replaced him with Howard for like 9 years then Howard had to leave so they brought Jesse back who sounds like he never missed a beat. Would love some pre-Howard tracks on your channel. Rise Inside or Fixation on the darkness are a couple of good ones. For some reason many requesters tend to want to hear the more ballad'y songs. They have so many heavier songs with brutal riffs and screams. Temple from Within is a good one from their first album. I dig Howard but tend to like the stuff done with Jesse more. Also worth checking out is the side project Times of Grace - Strength in Numbers with the guitarist and Jesse.
At Knotfest this year my now 13year old son became a big KSE fan all it Was hearing "I am broken too" . The only thing he ask for Christmas was cds so he is getting 3
love watching your reactions, would love to see your reaction to The trooper overture by two cellos. Happy holidays to you and your families, much love from the UK
Killswitch is such a powerful band. They write with such conviction, such passion and often such uplifting messages that it's hard to top. Stuff like "arms of sorrow", "rose of sharyn" and my favorite song of theirs "this fire" are some great howard performances (the guy in this video) and Jesse has great ones from his first and second stint in the band (the other singer from the signal fire video). Too many recommendations from these guys to list, they're just the best. Edit: the way I see it with Jesse and Howard's vocals, I'd say OG Jesse
Yes love both Jesse and Howard’s vocals in KSE. Just so much emotion in both the lyrics and singing. Jesse pours his heart out tho in the recent release of the Times Of Grace album, can’t help but get choked up listening to it.
Love this song!! Howard is the singer in this video. This song came out in 2004 and this CD didn't leave my player for a loooooong time. I prefer Howard, personally, because he's the one I fell in love with. Jesse is amazing too though but Howard's vocals...whew *fans face*. Just saw these guys at Knotfest....they are great performers. Next has to be "A Bid Farewell" or "When Darkness Falls" or "Rose of Sharyn". ❤🤘
Wow Smoke Dawg I love that Acid Bath shirt you’re wearing is sic!! Not many people have heard of that band. I used to listen to them religiously when I was a teenager
Now you gotta look up the video of the guitarist playing this song live while ordering a shot at the bar in the back. He uses a wireless rig on his guitar so he jumps off stage and runs to the bar sometimes.
Kill switch engage is considered the kings of metalcore. You guys have done a few songs from metalcore bands and progressive metalcore bands like like Polaris and Oceans Ate Alaska. Also SOAD are considered nu metal and industrial metal
This song and Slipknot My Plague both provide voice in the film Resident Evil Ending, and it's no coincidence these two bands are one of my favorites, it's amazing you reacted to this song🤘
Jesse (white guy) was first. He apparently left for some personal reasons. Then Howard (black guy) joined. Howard later left due to health reasons and Jesse came back. They did "The signal fire" as something special for the fans. As far as I know there has never been any "beef" between the two singers. I would class this as Melodic Metal. Check Out Liberate by Disturbed!
An instrumental of this was Roderick Strong’s entrance theme before he joined Undisputed Era. And his finisher is the name of the song and Metalcore is the sub genre they are considered
i was lucky enough to see them with Chimaira and DragonForce in 2007. epic concert. was crowd surfing during killswitchs set and howard grabbed my hand to help me down to the floor in front of the stage. will never forget that
Both are great singers, for jesse, I recommend Vida Infra or Life to Lifeless, for Howard, Hope is or When Darkness Falls. Great band, great live show! great video, keep on rockin in the free world! Devildriver - The Mountain Unearth - Endless
As good as the studio version of this song is, you should have done the live one. The crowd participation is some of the best on film IMO. If you want to hear an absolute banger with Jesse, check out My Last Serenade.
You should check out Howard Jones new band, SION. Check out the video for SION - "The Blade". He started the band with the UA-cam star, Jared Dines as the guitarist.
Metal core is the genre. I love howard Jones I love both I love howard Jones voice but I just love killswitch engage in general even got the end of heartache tattoo on my chest.!♡🖤\m/
Another great reaction guys, I’d love to see you guys check out some more of Jesse’s vocals. Look into songs like Life to Lifeless, Vide Infra, Strength of the Mind
Jesse Leach was their OG singer he keft due to separation anxiety and depression from being away from his wife after their 1st or 2nd album. Then Howard stepped in to finish the tour. KSE always has a place in my heart because they saved me from comitting suicide. If you want some songs that Jesse sings, I recommend Last Serenade, Always, In Due Time, and Us Against The World
Rocking out at 6 in the morning to 6ix and smokey. Another🔥🔥🔥 reaction. Something funny, listen to Howard talk he sounds like Seth Rogan. Keep it up 💨 it up🇺🇸
I'm pretty sure they were nominated for a Grammy for this album. I have seen both singers live. Everyone in the pit beats the shit out of each other regardless of singer
Howard Jones (the black guy) is actually now making music again. And released under the band name sion. The first song they released was called the blade. And they just released a self titled album
As much as i love Killswitch, i gotta say, the kids at O'Keefe Music Foundation covered this song a few years back and absolutely KILLED it. The same group of kids (albeit in a different arrangement) also did a PHENOMENAL cover of Guns N Roses "You Could Be Mine." If you get a chance, either (or both) song would be pretty awesome to see you guys react to.
I loved this album. It came out during the metalcore/ new wave of American heavy metal boom in the early 2000s with bands like Lamb Of God, Shadows Fall, God Forbid, Trivium, Devildriver, All That Remains, and Chimaira all playing a similar style that combined thrash, hardcore, groove, and melodic death metal. The album version alternated the clean and harsh vocals while this version pushed the harsh vocals to the background and he clean sang the whole way through. I hate watering it down for radio.
" KSE! " Saw them & Slipknot, Code Orange & Fever 333 at KnotFest at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MAss OCT 2021 ... There's also the ' Resident Evil ' version, Just like this video Hear Alex, (* lead guitarist), backup vocals w/ Howard Jones They'll be touring again soon in 2022! I got a lot of ' heart burn ' L8ly Anybody got any antacids?! 👋🏻😸👍🏻
The vocalist was in a beatdown/metalcore band before joining killswitch engage in 2003 that band is called blood has been shed I would definitely check out songs like and her name was entragin, faded pictures faded memories, she speaks to me, cortisone, house of fists *that song is like 45 seconds long* basically every song off their second and last album is worth a listen
Genre is Metalcore, but they have some serious Groove Metal elements to their riffs (like Pantera). Jesse Leech is the original singer, IIRC he left the band to do the family thing, that's when Howard Jones stepped in. Howard fell ill with diabetes and had to step down and Jesse came back. My personal fav singer is Jesse, but only by a hair. I'm from Boston and Howard Jones was a well known name locally from several small-time bands and he's a beast! If I had my way they would just both sing for the band full time, lol. EDIT: This band was as huge as you could ever dream to get in the 2000's. They were blowing up movie soundtracks like Resident Evil and shit, they were on top of the world.
Didn't know they replaced Howard but killswitch isn't killswitch without him. Doesn't matter he's black he's in my top 10 of best heavy metal singers!!! Love this song and many others too!!!!!!
Hey can you fine gentlemen do a song from Blaster by Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts please? He was the singer from Stone Temple Pilots, and Blaster was his final solo album. He'd lost a lot of the power from STP days, but Blaster is one of my all-time favorite albums because he bares his soul, and pays the most respectful homage to his influences. The final track on the album is called Circles, and he cited it as the song he's most proud of. It's not your typical kinda music you react to, but it is indeed music, and I am indeed in the comments hoping you'll give it a shot. Even if you don't react, go through the tracks and check out all the influences he emulated. Fine work.
It's funny that you mentioned wrestling at the beginning. CM Punk once used "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage as his entrance music. You should definitely react to that song plus KSE's cover of "Holy Diver"
Jesse Leach and Adam formed times of grace then they formed Killswitch Engage and Adam switched from drums to lead guitar. Jesse left due to personal demons and addiction that’s when Howard Jones joined and was with them until he had to leave due to health reasons then Jesse came back and is still currently with them and Howard Jones formed light the torch. It’d be cool to see you guys react to not forgiven or starting over or really anything from their self titled album released in 2009. Also interesting fact Howard Jones was trained in opera before becoming a metal vocalist
The album yes not this version of this song…. this is metal. Metalcore isn’t this radio friendly as a genre. Try Bring Me The Horizons first album. Or Suicide Silence-The Cleansing album those are SICK. Oh yeah or The End Of Heartache by Killswitch Engage is a CLASSIC as well. Personal favorite; All That Remains- The Fall Of Ideals. Have had that album on repeat for 15 yrs at least.
Metalcore is still my favorite metal sub genre. Just good shit. Howard was just so amazing live, he has a leg up vs Jesse for sure in my book. He has a new album out, Band is called Sion. He teamed up with Jared Dines. Check that shit out, its reallllly goooood.
That album is 🔥. Inside the hallow is my favorite. Even though it's the softest track on the album, seeing Howard sing it and the raw emotion he puts in that song, gives me chills. Especially when the tears start streaming down his face when he is ainging.
I wish sometimes cc’s would learn to hear the studio version first. Almost all singles in metal, are shortened for a video and you missed the intro scream that sends all who hear it, through the cosmos.
Love the Howard era. He replaced Jesse then left with health issues and Jesse is back with them. Howard is still on good terms with the band. Rose Of Sharyn is my favourite Howard song 🤟
Same here. Had the great fortune to see them live with Howard. 🖤
Howard Jones is my favorite lead singer of any band I've ever listened to.
100% and the ultimate tip of the cap from the band came when Howard came on for “Signal Fire” that song is absolutely amazing
This was the radio version. This genre is metalcore. “Rose of Sharyn” is one of their best with Howard in tribute to his mother.
I’ve never even heard this one, was weird to me.
I think the song isn't about Howard's mother, but his friend's.
Yall should really hear the album version of this song. It adds a ton more emotion.
Yeah, I remembered this one with a lot of power… this version is too soft
@@nicolasfracchia definitely more power. They softened it up for video/radio.
Yeah the scream at :46 in the album version is really great
@@twilki3 That's how I knew this was radio/Resident Evil version lol. Oh well still dope but missing that hardness.
The video is not the way for sure. It takes way too much away from the song. Terrible editing choices.
this IS metalcore. this is like, literally the textbook metalcore from this era. the vocals and drums are what really give it away.
You guys are fucking awesome! Seeing how pumped and and excited you guys legitimacy are cracks me the fuck up
You guys are correct! Metal core is name of this genre. Heavy but melodic, and for me these guys carry the metal core flag. I like both singers, but Howard is one of my favorites, and he keeps getting better with age. Just Listen to Sion, his new project, he sounds amazing. The song is The Blade. Keep it up!

Was also on that tour. sweatiest concert I've ever been to. In a good way!
Was it with slipknot?
Saw them around then with Shadows Fall, Sworn Enemy, and Cradle of Filth
Seen them live with both singers. Both badass concerts.
Jesse was cool, he had some great melodies he would do. But Howard is just a powerhouse. He can hit the notes, he knows about dynamics, he's always on pitch. One of a kind dude right there.

At Knotfest this year my now 13year old son became a big KSE fan all it Was hearing "I am broken too" . The only thing he ask for Christmas was cds so he is getting 3
You must listen to All That Remains “Two Weeks”. So heavy and emotional. I can listen to that song on repeat for hours
This voice will forever be imprinted in my soul
love watching your reactions, would love to see your reaction to The trooper overture by two cellos. Happy holidays to you and your families, much love from the UK

Edit: the way I see it with Jesse and Howard's vocals, I'd say OG Jesse
Yes!! Their songs/messages have gotten me through a lot!! Uplifting for sure!:)
Yes love both Jesse and Howard’s vocals in KSE. Just so much emotion in both the lyrics and singing. Jesse pours his heart out tho in the recent release of the Times Of Grace album, can’t help but get choked up listening to it.
@@chelseatrevino6923 yes! Exactly!!
Adam D and Howard were one of the top power duos ever. Loved this album
Whilst the album version is 100 times better, the live performance of this from the dvd gives me goosebumps every time. Insane energy.
I've seen them once, Howard was the singer. Great show!
You guys have to check out "Just Barely Breathing" by Killswitch. My favorite song by them
These were some years in the Metal World!!! Check out Power Trip By Chimaira!!!
Favourite band of all time ♥
Love this song!! Howard is the singer in this video. This song came out in 2004 and this CD didn't leave my player for a loooooong time.

They basically defined Metalcore
Live version is definitely better.
Thank you for covering this great song.
Love,love,love killswitch! Great choice!❤🤓
this song is sooo damn good
You guys should definitely check out Hail The Sun's Mourning Sickness.
Simply metal but hard Straight to the fire 🔥

Man...this Version is Not good. The Studio Version is waaaaaaaay better.
Agree.
This is a radio-friendly version.
And live is even better!
Love this song, I remember my first listen to Killswitch was with My Last Serenade back in the 2000's
i was lucky enough to see them with Chimaira and DragonForce in 2007. epic concert. was crowd surfing during killswitchs set and howard grabbed my hand to help me down to the floor in front of the stage. will never forget that
The best rendition of Killswitch. Just saw them open up for Slipknot in October and they were definitely not the same.
Both are great singers, for jesse, I recommend Vida Infra or Life to Lifeless, for Howard, Hope is or When Darkness Falls. Great band, great live show! great video, keep on rockin in the free world!
Devildriver - The Mountain
Unearth - Endless
This is proof that metal can be beautiful. ❤️🤘🏼
As good as the studio version of this song is, you should have done the live one. The crowd participation is some of the best on film IMO.
If you want to hear an absolute banger with Jesse, check out My Last Serenade.
Good song!
Great reaction
Yes. This is metalcore and they're one of the pioneers of the sub genre.
You should check out Howard Jones new band, SION. Check out the video for SION - "The Blade".

Vola “These Black Claws” . You guys will love it and we would appreciate seeing you two react to it .
Wow nice Acid Bath shirt, good shit bro
I straight wore this cd out back in the day 🤘
As much as i love Killswitch, i gotta say, the kids at O'Keefe Music Foundation covered this song a few years back and absolutely KILLED it.
The same group of kids (albeit in a different arrangement) also did a PHENOMENAL cover of Guns N Roses "You Could Be Mine."

💯
Love for them to also watch them react to Okeefes kids do 46&2, Number of the Beast(same kid does this song), I’m Broken
I could hear this song everyday.
Love the acid bath shirt!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
First time I heard this song was from the credits of Resident Evil 2 apocalypse
I loved this album.

Saw them & Slipknot, Code Orange & Fever 333 at
KnotFest at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MAss
OCT 2021 ...
There's also the ' Resident Evil ' version,
Just like this video
Hear Alex, (* lead guitarist), backup vocals w/
Howard Jones
They'll be touring again soon in 2022!
I got a lot of ' heart burn ' L8ly
Anybody got any antacids?!
👋🏻😸👍🏻
I highly recommend when darkness falls by Killswitch
The live version of this is amazing
You guys should react to the live version of this!
KSE é uma banda muito foda. Saudações do Brasil.
Ótimo canal. Parabéns.
Heartbreak is endorphin withdrawals
Fun fact: Howard Jones (lead singer in this video, but not for the band in general anymore) was actually classically trained in Operatic vocals. ☺️
Howard Jones is the man! I don't really like many of the songs without him.
It's weird how a song this metal is so calming
I recommend the studio version too! Much heavier sounding!❤
Dope ass Acid Bath Tee!! Do y’all even know who that is?
Jesse then Howard then Jesse again. I always loved Jesse's vocals because he is more aggressive but in no way do I dislike Howard.
Please tell me some one has mentioned "light the torch". I don't know much except Howard is the lead singer and every album is full of bangers.
First time hearing the band was live 12+ years ago and it was Howard singing. Howard has a voice you cant mess with so I'm going with him
This song has got me through tough times. The whole album is great.
If you like Howard check out SION. It's his brand new album with Jared Dines.
I can't beleive yall are just doing this. It's about time my dudes
The vocalist was in a beatdown/metalcore band before joining killswitch engage in 2003 that band is called blood has been shed I would definitely check out songs like and her name was entragin, faded pictures faded memories, she speaks to me, cortisone, house of fists *that song is like 45 seconds long* basically every song off their second and last album is worth a listen
Genre is Metalcore, but they have some serious Groove Metal elements to their riffs (like Pantera). Jesse Leech is the original singer, IIRC he left the band to do the family thing, that's when Howard Jones stepped in. Howard fell ill with diabetes and had to step down and Jesse came back. My personal fav singer is Jesse, but only by a hair. I'm from Boston and Howard Jones was a well known name locally from several small-time bands and he's a beast!

EDIT: This band was as huge as you could ever dream to get in the 2000's. They were blowing up movie soundtracks like Resident Evil and shit, they were on top of the world.
Howard is an opera singer, legit. The man has a real set of pipes and his range gives emotional depth to the music.
If you’re looking for some real MetalCore then you need to check out As I Lay Dying
Great band!
AILD Is an amazing band but KSE IS real metalcore. In fact, they're considered the fathers of the metalcore era.
That just hits different
So glad KSE and light the torch are still touring together. Can’t wait to see Jesse and Howard do some songs together 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️
Didn't know they replaced Howard but killswitch isn't killswitch without him. Doesn't matter he's black he's in my top 10 of best heavy metal singers!!! Love this song and many others too!!!!!!
Smokey rocking the Acid Bath shirt.
Hey can you fine gentlemen do a song from Blaster by Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts please?
He was the singer from Stone Temple Pilots, and Blaster was his final solo album. He'd lost a lot of the power from STP days, but Blaster is one of my all-time favorite albums because he bares his soul, and pays the most respectful homage to his influences. The final track on the album is called Circles, and he cited it as the song he's most proud of.
It's not your typical kinda music you react to, but it is indeed music, and I am indeed in the comments hoping you'll give it a shot.
Even if you don't react, go through the tracks and check out all the influences he emulated. Fine work.
It's funny that you mentioned wrestling at the beginning. CM Punk once used "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage as his entrance music.

@@teamfingahs4907 isn’t metalcore the dominant “metal radio” genre these days?
@@timhutchinson8485 I stopped listening to the radio circa 2007 brother so couldn’t say. Really disliked the way rock radio seemed to be headed.
Metalcore is still my favorite metal sub genre. Just good shit. Howard was just so amazing live, he has a leg up vs Jesse for sure in my book. He has a new album out, Band is called Sion. He teamed up with Jared Dines. Check that shit out, its reallllly goooood.
One of my favs from earlier Killswitch Engage is Just Barely Breathing. If you guys are gonna do more KSE thats my vote
a song you guys as rappers should check out is Akala - Fire In The booth part 1
If you love Howards voice, check out the work he did with Jared Dines. Theyre called Sion and they just released a full LP together
You've got to do I am broken too
If you love Howard's voice, he's in a new band called Sion with Jared Dines. They released their first album a few month ago, and it's a good one!
That album is 🔥. Inside the hallow is my favorite. Even though it's the softest track on the album, seeing Howard sing it and the raw emotion he puts in that song, gives me chills. Especially when the tears start streaming down his face when he is ainging.
I saw them with Howard in a tiny intimate venue in Hawaii when I was stationed there. So for me it’s always team Howard. This song is the jam.
Howard jones (the singer for this song) is classicly trained yes.
I wish sometimes cc’s would learn to hear the studio version first. Almost all singles in metal, are shortened for a video and you missed the intro scream that sends all who hear it, through the cosmos.
