Aside from some fatigue, I am glad to be recovered from the Coronavirus. I was excited to get in the studio and spend some time with my son.
Welcome back!
Welcome back, brother. That 2nd vocalist is actually the former vocalist for this band. His name is Howard Jones.
Good to see you back. Always appreciate your perspective on some of my favorite music. Stay well
Glad u are better. Scary stuff.
The singer with the mowhawk and the lead guitarist made a band several years ago before Jesse rejoined Kill Switch. The guitarist had back surgery. So this one off album has lots of Spiritual innuendo? How to say it. Under lining. And some is very forward. I think its an album you will really like especially since you liked Signal fire. I LOVE THIS ALBUM. And sadly they are likely to never tour it.. any way here it is Times Of Grace - Hymn of a Broken Man: ua-cam.com/play/PLz_VdN51lS8YujH7Ezfti8xljS3OiD6b3.html
So happy to hear that you have recovered! By the way great video, i really enjoy this band and song. Also, could you guys react to some more Demon Hunter? Songs like, I Will Fail You. Or, Someone To Hate. Thank you, and love your vids!
They have no idea what they just witnessed having Howard and Jesse together on a track...
I was thinking the exact same thing lol
They've done a few tracks together. Take This Oath and Irreversal.
Hahaha yes!! Gods collab
It literally gave me chills over my whole body, LOVED IT!
One of the greatest moments to be a longtime Killswitch fan. Just to see Jesse and Howard together on a track after all these years, was well worth the wait.
Okay so let's set the KsE history straight because people are being lazy about it lmao. Jesse, the dude that started screaming, is their OG vocalist. He was in the band in their first 2 records. Then he left and Howard Jones, the second dude, joined the band. With Howard Jones, the band reached unimaginable recognition and success. They headlined huge festivals, they released some of their best material and to this day the last album Jesse did before he left the band, and the next two albums they did with Howard Jones are considered some of the best modern metal/metalcore albums period. And because of that, Killswitch Engage became very recognized, some even argue the best metalcore band ever.
Howard Jones left the band because of mental health issues as touring was taking a toll on him and I think he was diagnosed with diabetes too which it is said he beat and is healthier than ever. So of course, lately they all reconnected and Howard has come up on stage with them live and now they recorded this song. So this Howard Jones feature is a huge thing for us metalcore/KsE fans.
Never knew Jesse was the original front man. Got into them when Howard was the front man until he left for personal reasons. But am I correct in reading that Howard helped write this album?
@@reevy6 this song. Not the album
@@reevy6 a lot of people don't know that Jesse is the original vocalist and it makes me sad cause Alive or Just Breathing is an amazing album
@@goodini026 yeah man kinda sad but it doesn't take away the fact that is hands down top 5 best metalcore albums ever. It was way too ahead of its time. Bands that sounded like that started to gain heat by the mid 2000s and even nowadays there is a new wave of bands that sound like that. AOJB was released in 2002. Man hopefully they do 20th anniversary tour because Im definitely going
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 Oh I must have read it wrong. But the album is brilliant! Saw them last October on the Atonement tour and they smashed the whole set!
The second vocalist is Howard Jones he fronted the band when Jesse left Jesse came back and Howard exited this is the long story short edition😎
howard was and still is the best Lead Vocal for Killswitch.
Anthony Cunningham I disagree, but that’s the great thing about opinions, not right or wrong. Killswitch had to ditch Howard though, with the last album he did with them in 09, which was lazy and bland, they were fading fast, they needed new life with Jesse.
@@anthonyc5655 I too, disagree.
@@anthonyc5655 I agree with you man. I still prefer Howard Jones, but Jesse is a terrific singer.
@@hockey4123 Howard was going through health issues as well as depression from traveling. It really got him down. I wish they would have allowed him to get the help and refreshment he needed without kicking him from the band.
When Howard picks up that mic…. Chills man… It never gets old seeing this video.
"The End of Heartache", "This Fire", "My Curse", are good songs. "Arms of Sorrow" is really emotional and deep.
My Last Serenade
This is absolution
I hope they react to my curse. It's perfect for this channel
Breathe Life
As Sure As The Sun Will Rise
Love what you guys are doing! One of the best reaction channels out there.
What's up pal?
FACT!
This track is my absolute FAVORITE from Killswitch. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it! Jesse and Howard are amazing together.
The Christian themes present in a lot of Killswitch's songs and Adam and Jesse's other band, Times of Grace, have been questioned by many, including myself. I feel like I hear it at every turn. Their music is so dark and heavy, but the themes and lyrics always have seemed so bright and hopeful to me. I always find a positive message in it. It's crazy to me that they can have such a brutal song with such beautiful content. That's one of the many things I love about these guys! And I appreciate you going through the lyrics and pointing this stuff out because so many would hear the top layer of this music and label it as "devil music" and the like. (Obviously you're a fan of this type of music, but still, it's refreshing!)
Times of Grace was going to be my suggestion as well. Still has the soul of Killswitch, but wrapped up in a different package with heavy overlay in biblical messages. The title track to Hymn of A Broken Man would be a good introduction.
Almost all of jesses lyrics are positive. Really never about anything dark. Always sending a message of strength and hope. Idk if Jesse is a believer in Christ but his songs certainly present that notion
@@clayman41 I love that album and can't wait for more!
@@stevehollwedel5709 yes! Thank you!
Jesse Leach is actually a Christian, that’s why the lyrics are Christian themed and positive. After he left killswitch engage in 2002-2003 he formed a band called Seemless and they were a Christian rock band.
The lead singer, Jesse Leech's Dad was a Christian preacher and although Jesse doesn't consider himself a Christian, he's definitely a spiritual dude and many of his songs have positive/Christian theme's
The album he did with Adam under the Band name Times of Grace is further existence of that.
I was just about to mention Times of Grace
also in irreversal "Outstratched arms to welcome the sacrifice of this body"
Howard Jones spent his younger years at Rod Parsely's World Harvest Church in Columbus, Ohio and performed Christian rap and was a leader in the youth group.
Demons are spiritual too
Also check out the Killswitch side band Times of Grace, just pick one.
1. "Strength in Numbers" 4:16
2. "Fight for Life" 3:36
3. "Willing" 3:23
4. "Where the Spirit Leads Me" 3:36
5. "Until the End of Days" 4:21
6. "Live in Love" 3:49
7. "In the Arms of Mercy" (instrumental) 1:54
8. "Hymn of a Broken Man" 3:13
9. "The Forgotten One" 4:38
10. "Hope Remains" 4:49
11. "The End of Eternity" 5:52
12. "Worlds Apart" 4:33
13. "Fall from Grace" 4:57
Willing and The Forgotten One are my favorites!
Definitely Wiling. To me this song is a realistic and honest representation of faith. Not a glorified version.
Amazing album, not one bad song, but i may also just be killswitch biased cause they don't have 1 bad song with jesse
Hymn of a broken man 🔥🔥
Yes I love that album and so excited they're working on another one
The bald guy is the previous vocalist, the guy reunited for just this song
That would be Howard Jones, he also has another band called Light The Torch.
Don't matter he always in KSE
the cool guy in the mohawk is the original singer of KSE then howard joined later and then the original singer came back. :D
Octavio Taleno if memory serves me correct I believe Howard left due to medical issues
Actually they've performed together a few times just was live!
Look into Light the Torch also known as Devil You Know with Howard Jones their previous singer performing on this song.
Jesse Leach has another band called Times of Grace that’s pretty good too.
With Adam, the guitarist wearing the hat in the video.
Marty Talia Jesse has a punk band called the weapon. Jesse has said a new Times of Grace is coming out.
Jesse Leach, the lead singer of KSE, and Adam D, the guitarist, did an album together with a band called Times of Grace. They have Christian beliefs, and Times of Grace have several Christian songs. Check out the song Where the Spirit Leads Me by Times of Grace.
I choked up the first time i watched this as Howard came in. A big slap of nostalgia for sure
That fist bump had me tearing up
I've always considered KsE my favorite "Christian" non-Christian band. "Eye of the Storm", "Reject Yourself", and "Let the Bridges Burn" are ones to to check out. On a side note, glad you're feeling better, you were in my prayers.
Could you do Killswitch Engage Rose of Sharyn or Starting Over please?
This was the greatest song release of 2019. Change my mind. Loved this react. 🖤
totally agree!
I also like "my curse" by KSE
What an absolute masterpiece.
Classic Killswitch Engage
THIS.IS.MY.CURSE
@@Metzgerchef ok i caught you KSE fans so please: i'd like some recommendations about which album i should try After that, i've already listened to their newest album what should i do next
Their most popular song that helped then get on the map. I found it in guitar hero. I recommend the end of heartache, alive or just breathing and disarm the decent.
Rose Of Sharyn, End of Heartache, My Curse, Hate By Design, Quiet Distress
Also, Jesse (their current lead vocalist) identifies as Christian, although the band themselves is not a "Christian Band". He has a lot of references to faith in his lyrics though, especially their newer couple albums.
Hate by design is one of the greatest song they ever did
@@bjberry2727 100%, I actually really love their last two albums, and actually everything since Jesse returned, he's come back far stronger than ever and I love it. His lyrics are seriously beautiful.
The first vocalist(with the mohawk)is Jesse Leach. He helped found the band(1999-2002), although he left after a couple years due to personal issues. The other guy is Howard Jones(vocalist from 2002-2011, the best they’ve had, in my opinion). They don’t usually sing together, so this was pretty cool how they brought Howard back in for spot on the newer record. Jesse came back in 2012
Both these dudes are KSE singers at different times. Jessie first, then HJ, and Jessie again. This is them together.
Exactly. So much of the power of this song is just experiencing them both teaming up for this song. You can't help but get goosebumps and pumped when Howard walks in. No one ever thought this day would happen. The debate of Jesse vs Howard goes back to the beginning and they put out this song and said... Nah bro, we're kse we both are amazing. I think it also was to show there's no bad blood between them and they support each other. Fantastic song and even better CD.
When this song came out, it was the song from the band that their long time fans had been waiting on, me included. Jesse, the vocalist in the first verse, was their original singer and when he left the band, Howard, the vocalist in the second verse was the frontman as they became a world renown band, and having them singing together on a track is magical and something that has been wanted for years now.
Any killswitch song off the album “the end of heartache”
Really all their songs off all their albums are at the least great songs. A lot of them are really great songs.
Literally ANY killswitch engage album from start to finish bro
The Killswitch Engage song 'Eye of the Storm' is one of my favorite songs by them.
Definitely one of my favorites
One of mine too, along with Reject Yourself
Some other great songs by Killswitch- fixation on the darkness, last serenade, the whole End of Heartache album
"The end of heartache: is amazingggg! def should listen to this, this is the song you want to hear!
"got the beard, heh heh heh." - Pastor Rob.
Best moment
Look into their side project “times of grace”. Lots of christian undertones.
They would LOVE Times of Grace. Guys, PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT!!!!!!!
The album is literally named the hymn of a broken man
They definitely should cover Willing, or at least listen to it.
I can't recommend this enough. But yeah, That entire Album is fantastic.
Agreed
Would you ever do an As I Lay Dying track? Just would love to hear your thoughts on redemption and forgiveness after what the band has been through
Especially the song My Own Grave.
@@tjforce24 Yea that would be the perfect one to do regarding it all. I just hope if they do that then they actually research the song beforehand. It does suck when they review a song (like the one above) and have no idea about it. The date it was released or even the singer situation or their beliefs
A Greater Foundation would also make a good video because of how it almost foreshadowed what happened to Tim
Parallels would also be a good one to do.
Forever would be a great song to react to.
Ps: we gotta sign a petition to have both Jesse and Howard in the band
An album with both would be amazing!
Nah Jesse is plenty good enough
Disco Agreed, Jesse is fine on his own.
plus Howard has his band Light the Torch and its pretty good actually!
Would be nice
It's great to see you back, healthy and happy mate. Much love from Australia.
Gotta recommend Light the Torch, Safety of Disbelief.
I'm a brazilian agnostic guy. And I really love to see your video guys! So much respect for you! Pastors who are open to rock music is really awesome! Here in Brazil we have a lot of christian bands that rocks. You guys should listen to some like: RODOX, OFICINA G3.
Greetings from Brazil! We love you!
by the way, my name is Roberto, is like Robert, but in Portuguese/Spanish hahaha
Killswitch Engage is from my area and used to see them at clubs before they got signed all the time. Jesse (mohawk) singer was the original singer of the band for the first couple albums then the bald singer Howard joined when Jesse left. Then Howard left and Jesse came back in the band and they teamed back up for this one track.
KSE - The End of Heartache, the album version and not the music video version from Resident Evil
The two vocalists are Jesse Leach and Howard Jones 😊
Jesse was the original vocalist for the first 2 albums but then left for personal issues. Howard then took over and was in the band for the next 3 albums but then started having health issues, so then Jesse rejoined and has been in since. So this song has both ❤
There are alot of awesome KSE songs so get on digging 😁😉
Glad of hearing about your recovery. Every KsE song has a lot of spititual content in my opinion. "Disarm the descent" is a great album, specially In due Time and The Call, but Beyond the Flames also is an amazing song. React about the entire album. 😁
“It’s Dwayne Johnson’s angry younger brother” that’s the best I’ve heard in this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I did not know Jesse(Original vocalist) and Howard(Second vocalist) did a song or album together. I love this.
Light the Torch “The great divide” or Light the torch “Die Alone” would really like to hear your opinions on this song, the former lead vocalist of this band (Howard Jones)
Old School Killswitch Engage songs : "Temple from Within", "Element of One", or "Fixation on the Darkness".
Dude. This song is literally the highlight of every kse’s life. Jesse was the original vocalist, then Howard, then Jesse returned after almost a decade.
Glad you are feeling better!!! Love what u guys do
The black guy is their previous singer. The other singer is Jesse Leach, he’s their original and present singer
I'LL let somebody else fill in the history of KSE.
LOL Almost every other comment tries to describe the history of the band
@@AProperVoid **TRIES
@@AProperVoid I personally know these guys and could tell you some shit not many people know
Welcome back! Great first video back....lots of great Killswitch songs and videos. Thanks for being a beacon for those who struggle with listening to good music and being a person of faith!
Your channel showed up in my feed a few days ago and I have been binge watching all your videos since. I finally made it to the end and I cannot wait for more! I have heard so many new artists and songs from this channel and they are starting to fill up my playlist! I can't afford to support you financially, but I have been telling everyone I think would be interested about your channel and sending them links. Thank you so much for what you are doing with this channel. It makes me happy to see people so open-minded about music and not just immediately jumping to the conclusion that metal is evil. I don't know many people in my area who are willing to give it a chance and actually listen to the message that bands like Demon Hunter and We Came as Romans are preaching. So thank you for giving them a chance and showing people that Christian music can come in more flavors than what people normally think of. And thank you for sharing the gospel in your videos. People need to hear it, as you quoted a while back: faith comes by hearing. Keep up the good work. I'm sure it isn't always easy. I am really happy to hear that your wife has won her war with cancer and that you are feeling better as well. Also, this might be weird to mention, but I love the beard on pastor Rob and the hair on both Rob and Gauge. You guys look good.

Mirror of Souls: I won't give lyrics for this one. You just need to hear it. It is technically a 3 song trilogy (each song being aprox 7 minutes) but it's also all one song (reminds me of the Trinity).
I AM: (highly recommend watching a lyric video for this one especially. 3 layers of different lyrics at the same time)
I am the three and yet I am the one
In the grace of the Father and death of the Son
I am the one who redeemed you
By paying the highest price
As the World Bleeds:
My personal favorite Killswitch songs are:
My Last Serenade
The End of Heartache
The Element of One
Breathe Life
My Curse
Rose of Sharyn
You should check out their side project "Times of Grace" I think you will enjoy it.
I think this is Pastor Robs favorite so far, lol. The message mixed with the music, combined with the Howard reunion...Epic. Great video guys
Glad to see you guys are back! The main singer is jessie leach he was the in the band from 99 - 02, The second vocalist is Howard jones he was the front man for 2002-12. Jessie returned to the band in 2012 after Howard became ill.
Also, the band's current singer was their original vocalist, who quit the band for a number of years and was replaced by Howard Jones for several albums. Every killswitch fan has their preferred favorite vocalist
And some of us think both rule! I'd love a record with both of them!
I don't have a preference between Jesse or Howard. Both of them are amazing vocalists and I would be absolutely thrilled if they would include Howard on more future projects or even if he returned permanently along with Jesse
I'm a bit of a Howard fanboy, but I respect Jesse.
They don’t identify as a Christian band they emphasize a positive message and they are from a Christian background so their vocal writing has a lot of Christian undertones.
And by the way God bless you guys. Very excited to see you guys back at it!
I really enjoy your videos thank you so much for doing this.
Check out Aussie metal band Amity Affliction check out there song Pittsburgh
KsE are my second favorite band, other than ABR. That being said, they were one of the first metalcore bands who blew up, but the very first bands in the genre were Zao, Earth Crisis, Hatebreed, Converge, and Botch. My favorite era is still with Howard but I love their latest album for sure. Would love to see you guys react to some Norma Jean and Phinehas one day!
ABR is incredible, their new album is a masterpiece!
Killswitch “kills” it. Haha😂
@@tonybenedetti7179 lol honestly. I can't imagine how anyone could hate them.
@Jason LovesABR I am so glad to see Zao mentioned in your comment. Definitely one of my favorite metalcore bands. I remember seeing them many years ago at Cornerstone. I wish that they had blown up a lot sooner than they had.
@@chrismiller2517 They're still kinda lowkey small. Kinda like Norma Jean, Every Time I Die, Unearth, and Converge. They're popular in their own circle but not in a mainstream sense.
What was awesome about this video / song is that their old singer reunited and sang with their current singer. Awesome moment in music for the fans
I want to go on a road trip with these guys and rock out the whole time.
Please react to “Brompton Cocktail” by Avenged Sevenfold
Older stuff with the older lead singer Howard Jones, either The End of Heartache (won a Grammy for that one) or Eye of the Storm
They didn’t win a grammy for Heartache, were nominated though.
@@hockey4123 after a short bit of research, you are correct
Lol, older singer...Jesse is the original singer.
Anything from Alive or Just Breathing or their self titled Killswitch Engage are incredible, "grimier", and full of positive themes that could easily be viewed in a biblical lens.
Good to see you back guys!!! So glad you're mostly over it!
PLEASE REACT TO “THIS FIRE” BY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE!!!!!!!!!!! PLEEEAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEEE
My all time favorite
I'm so glad you are better. You've been in my prayers.
I feel like any well written song can be interpreted and related too in so many ways so I appreciate your perspective and interpretation of the lyrics. When I hear this song, the references to separating from the past and also leading us away from the past reminds me of the internal duality of man and our internal fight of good vs evil and our struggle and objective to find our true selves and seperate ourselves from past forms as individuals that we don't love. So the part about seperating from our past is a big component of my interpretation.
In addition, to me the signal fire is not a sign of war like you mentioned but a sign of hope and the fire is the light at the end of the tunnel. "Hope just in sight, our signal fires alight"... that hope of not caving into our struggles of our past selves that we are trying to overcome and to find that inner fight and spirit to keep pushing towards the signal fire and the light at the end of the tunnel. I do think the signal fire portion of it represents "the uphill battle" at the top of the mountain that our journey represents as we atone for ourselves internally and move towards the light to a brighter future.
Obviously very difficult to explain through words, but just a few thoughts of what comes to mind when I listen to this song. For anyone out there who continues to struggle in their fight, just know that you're not alone in your struggles... I am with you, Howard is with you, Jesse is with you... always keep walking and pushing towards that signal fire and a new light.
A Bid Farewell was the first song I remember. Loved them ever since. The lead singer just came back to the band recently too so, I think it was pretty cathartic for them. The song "Always" always* gets me choked up .
So good to see you. Glad your better 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm an atheist, and I love watching your videos. You don't preach, you are accepting of all people and ideas, and you're a metalhead. Forget faith, you as a person is the kind of guy that I would imagine that God would be looking for to connect to people. Best Pastor Ever. You are not preachy, and you just like new things, and new people. You win the God Award, sir.
I love yalls channel As a Christian that loves heavy metal it’s good to show that this genre of music is not all about evil and sin keep rocking on and god bless
I got to meet Jesse in Austin Texas last year on the atonement tour and just a beautiful soul and one of my biggest influences as a metal vocalist, he was humble and he was genuine. Howard did so much for Killswitch as well...awesome to see them come together and write an amazing song
Anything off of "alive or just breathing" probably" last serenade"!! Keep it up guys, you're awesome!
The initial singer is the original, he left and the bald guy came in, he left and the original came back. There was heavy rumors of bad blood between the two guys, and they don’t usually do songs together this was really cool to show just how cool they are with each other.
Glad you are doing better; definitely an answer to prayer.
I really do love your breakdown of these songs through the teachings of Christianity. It's really interesting and different than other reaction channels and I feel that I learn something every video. Thanks for the content !
Welcome back! 🙂
Awesome review and discussion as always.
Amon Amarth - Thousand Years Of Oppression 🤘🏻
You guys could literally dedicate the entire channel to just Killswitch lyrics, there is a reason why they are so loved.
Glad to have ya back Pastor!
Their song "Reject Yourself" gives me chills in ways I'm sure most of you could understand. One of the best. "Save me" Comes in a close second.
'Rose of Sharyn' is a must-listen. It's a beautiful song by Killswitch Engage and is a good topic of discussion for life after death.
Howard Jones’ new band, Light the Torch, has a great album called Redemption. The album viewed as a whole, is a story of faith and redemption. It’s a great album, by the way
Great analogy. Great song.
I’m glad you guys and others that review songs dissect them so deeply to understand them cause I just like the sound. Lol
When the original singer Jesse left years ago Howard stepped in and ushered in a new era for Killswitch Engage. And a few years later Howard stepped out and Jesse came back. Howard is the feature in the song as you see him walking in grabbing the mic. It was a special moment and try to portray with this song welcoming him back To jam on a new track with them.
Howard Jones (the second vocalist the showed up) was the previous vocalist of the band. He just featured in this song.
thanks for the video, one of my favorite bands :)
This song is about facing and overcoming suicidal thoughts. Both Howard and Jesse went through some hard times, Jesse with some bipolar and depression issues and Howard with social anxiety and depression. So the band thought it was a good idea to have both singers write a song about the issues they went through, and Signal Fire is the result.
That's awesome. Was there an interview of this?
There are a few clips here and there of both singers talking about their issues. You can search the meaning of the song “Signal Fire”. From what I know both singers are good friends now which is cool.
I remember Jesse saying in an interview (don’t recall who it was with) that he was thinking of Howard when he was writing the lyrics to Signal Fire
Killswitch Engage had two different singers over the years, but my favourite songs are, Rose of Sharyn, Life to Lifeless, and End of Heartache. I started listening in 2005 and been a big fan of the original albums. Haven't heard much of the new stuff but I guess I should, this is bad ass
Glad your doing better brother. I hope your buddies are doing better to. Shoutout from south TX
Dang YOU 2 ARE LOOKIN GOOD! DAD JOKES SPOT ON! LOLOL
"My Last Serenade" is a oldie but goodie.
Jesse was the first vocalists for their first album and left. Howard Jones was in the band for awhile and left for health reasons. Bringing them both together is an amazing point in history!
My Last Serenade is a good early song to check out. The vocalist that started the song (Jesse) is the original vocalist who left the band at one point and the 2nd vocalist (Howard) is the one that replaced him at the time and is known for doing some of their most successful songs. Howard left and then Jesse returned to the band. They basically got everyone together for this song.
Take this oath, let the bridges burn, when darkness falls...all bangers. God bless ya’ll hope ya’ll are well
I got hooked years ago after hearing My Curse and since then have back tracked and started listening to there older stuff with the original lead singer. Atonement awesome too
Wicked vid guys, you don't know though how much of an awesome moment when Howard appeared in the vid, proper metal moment there
You are so true and sincere dudes. I consider myself as a lucky guy, because of having the same bond with my father, despite our differences. Take care and keep on, fellas!) Subscribed)
Jesse's hallmark song is My Last Serenade from KSE's first album. Howard's hallmark song is End of a Heartache. My dream would be for Jesse and Howard to collab together for an entire album. Howards new band Light the Torch was going on tour with KSE this summer, but covid stopped that. I was really excited to see them sing together live! Definitely check out some of their older stuff. Awesome band!
As plenty of people have mentioned, the second vocalist, Howard Jones, was the frontman for KsE for a number of years after Jesse left early in their career. That fist bump between the two of them during the guitar solo? It's SO significant and represents so much more that what it seems on the surface. I'm a HoJo fan myself, not big on Jesse's style, but that's all opinion; the FACT is that KsE is one of the best metalcore bands to hit mainstream success. Personal favorite tunes that I would love to see you guys react to:
The Arms of Sorrow
This Fire
Eye Of the Storm
... basically anything from "As Daylight Dies"
Added note: as a semi-practicing Christian (read: bad Christian, lol), I appreciate what you guys are doing, and the depth to which you dive into these songs. My faith has been really shaky for a lot of years, and it's refreshing to see you practicing the Great Commission in its purest form, and reaching out as equally and without judgement as you can. Major kudos, and bigger thanks.
