Very much looking forward to it. I Am Broken Too gets me right in the feels.
Yeah for sure, especially when the official music video came out ❤️
I'll watch the review once I've heard the album- I like to give things a run for myself first.
A bit more leftfield, but one of the new Batushka lps (Panihda) is very good, and I'll give the politics a miss but the preview track from the new Mgla album seems very good indeed. Other metal albums released this year I've liked include the new Sunn O))) one, Torche and Big Business. Only real disappointment is Baroness, a real mess of an album.
IMO, the last 10 years or so have been a golden era for heavy music.
The Signal Fire might be one of their best songs to date - especially with the accompanying video. I got actual goosebumps watching it for the first time - it's perfectly done. Howard's vocals are even better than they were when he was with the band, if that's even possible. Does make me miss him a lot, but then I remember that Jesse is great too.
I Can't Be the Only One is about as anthemic as they come.
Not much to add but I think something in it's favour it's fairly concise, just under 40 minutes, there's not much filler.
Listening to it now. Was a big fan back in the day, but haven't listened to them since the self titled album where I thought they had become a bit formulaic.
Thought I'd give the new album a listen after reading this thread, and I'm really liking it.
Definitely seem to have a bit of fire back in their bellies.
Thanks for posting @metalmohan
I wouldn't even have known they had a new record out without seeing here.
I would certainly dig out DISARM THE DESCENT, which was the first album with Jesse back on Vocals. Whilst End of Heartache is probably their best album overall, DtD is a close second to me. Absolute bangers all the way through. Incarnate was a bit weaker, but Atonement is a return to form.
I thought I'd read that about the band not liking it somewhere @joneve
This new record is the first I've listened to since Jesse returned but I'll definitely give the other two a listen.
1. Disarm the Descent (first album after their original singer re-joined the band). It’s perfect. Not a Bad track
2. end of heartache. Probably the most commercial, and their first album with their new singer after Jesse left. Again, it’s brilliant from start to finish.
4. As Daylight Dies - second album with Howard (replacement singer)
5. Atonement
6. Incarnate
7. Killswitch engage - the full album self titled they did with Howard. None of the band were in a good place and it shows. Only really 2 or 3 tracks on it worth being on there
if you like KsE, check out Times of Grace. It was a side project of Jesse (singer) and Adam (guitarist). It’s epic.
