Album Review

Ever since Killswitch Engage lead vocalist Howard Jones began alternating his sung voice with his screamed one, the band's depth and dimension grew exponentially. There's plenty of brutal, pummeling death metal, blastbeats and the like, but there is texture in the attack too. This is a band who has been consistent in their approach, and in delivering the goods, but As Daylight Dies is perhaps their strongest moment so far. The songs are dynamite: check the combination of texture, riffs and melody in "This Is Absolution"; by the time they get to the chorus, it's all over; an anthem. The unbridled chaos of "Unbroken" reveals that they haven't traveled far from their roots; in fact, they've dug deeper, if that's possible, despite becoming better musicians. "Eye of the Storm" is just over the top. This is the sound of both the Apocalypse and the Second Coming rolled into one. The tight, turn on a dime stops and starts in the verse and the all-out roar of the refrains and the guitar break are the stuff of heavy metal legend. If the cynics don't get it by now, they never will. For the rest, this is the album to come into the tent with. Mastodon may have convinced just about everyone with Blood Mountain, but this is a Top Five metal candidate of 2006 for sure. [The 2007 edition included bonus tracks.]

As Daylight Dies : KsE

i cannot describe how quickly i began to like this band, by the fourth song i was hooked and by the 15th (holy diver , Dio cover) i was ready to buy all their other albums. Killswitch have had alot of problems over the last few years with the loss of jesse their old lead singer and their search for a new one, this is my favorite album and i applaude KsE for its awesome heavy metal/ thrash melodic scream epic and just generaly brilliantly mindblowing mix of genres

Awsome album

This is the must have album of killswitch as not only is the basic Daylight Dies fantastic you also get the extra songs which are a must have, especially the incredible Holy Diver, with the heavy riffs and easy to listen to melodic patches they have expertly created an epic album.

the must have

growing up i had a brother that LOVED metal so i kinda got into it and i was listening to my curse and as daylight dies then i looked at the whole album and then i realised that all of them must be made by god to be this good. KSE were really nervous of this album i knew beacuse i watched the recording and they always had they're heads in hand hoping its good and i think they're nerves have done the world a favour by showing them what the unbeatable is- i knew i didn't write alot but this is my first review lol thanks for reading
