Jesse left KE back in the day to be with his wife - he couldn't take the separation. Not because he "blew" his voice out. He is an amazing singer and can out scream Howard anyday.
@SepulTeraHead hard to choosea fav song on this album. self revoloution is up there too. but if i had to choose this is my fav too. so brutal and passionate the clean vox are a blended in nicely. not the same scream-verse, sing-chorus pattern formula that they use later on. think jesses lyrics are 10 x better than howards. they are both good singers but lyrical content is something that no one else seems to mention in the comparisons
@DJuron96 I used to say the same thing. Jesse's screams take some getting used too, but once you do. They are soooo damn amazing! And yeah Howards vocals were arguably my favorite in Metal... He will be missed.
@DJuron96 They didn't trade. Howard left the band because of health problems and not really feeling like writing music. He needs a break after a decade of touring. And its better that they get Jesse who has potential then some guy that no one knows about. Give the new album a chance.
i love how Jesse puts Jesus and god at the center of his songs, it displays how zealous he is for god and his holiness, i love this guy so much, i think its a great direction for the band hes back, Howard was a great guy and song writer but i think Jesse with his positive outlook and pointing out what he sees is better than anything that can be asked from anyone, he stays within genre too which is amazing about it, he truly is a musical genius
@natas2727 Why be disappointed? God is real my friend. But i wont preach to you. I am not that kind of Christian. Jessie expresses his Love of God in his lyrics, he puts his heart and soul into every word, note whatever into his music. Also alot of his lyrics are pointing out alot of whats wrong with this world. (Times of Grace - Live in Love for example, most songs in this album). Its no different than really any other song out there.
@imdafootballdude Well said Brotha.. Times of Grace was my first reintroduction to Jesse's lyrics... i know alot of that too was Adam D. But relistening to this album.. and putting my mind to it (and in the last serenade video.. he is Always looking up when he sings. I cant wait to hear new KSE.. I felt it when Adam D and Jesse did Times of Grace... I knew one day he would return. IT will be amazing to hear and see
HOWARD AND JESSE BOTH BRONG SOMETHING TO THE TABLE STOP FIGHTING OVER IT and yes i am black but to bring color into the picture is wack this aint 1957
@neverbleedtre Well said, Howard and Jesse are both equally awesome in my book, they have different styles, but thats what I love about them, I can pick from different albums depending on what kind of mood I'm in, and people bringing color into the picture is just plain stupid, music is heard, not seen, unless you have really good drugs.
Personally, i think that Jesse's better in the studio on screaming and writing lyrics.
Howard's good live but writes too much on relationships and shit. Wish he changed that. I say they hire Jesse for lyrics. and keep Howard for singing.
i really wanna bitchslap sum ppl who keep judging howard and jesse seriously makes me wanna quit listening to killswitch for fuck sake shut up..killswitch rocks no matter what singer
I remembered this song last night when I was trying to sleep and I was sick and I couldn't breath that good. I had trouble breathing and I was scared because I was just barely breathing. And I dint close my eyes because I was scared that I would stop breathing while I was asleep. So I saw the images of the t.v. so I can forget about it.
I like the first album - Killswitch Engage (2000) that was some incredible shit. This album brought more clean vocals to the table and indecently, he used this album to express his emotions to 9/11 victims.
Great vocalist & great lyrics.
NO offense to 'howard' lovers. But he lacks so much of the insightful & spiritual side that jesse taps into.
Nothing against howard, but my opinion is with Jessie... they would have reached a level of greatness that makes legends, not that there not but they could have went to a whole other wave... either way kse is a band that stands above all others... just wish Jessie wouldn't of left :/
Thanks for putting up the lyrics but your spelling isnt great. Descend into hysteria or To the voice of hatred just saying. But the main thing is I am almost sure he is saying "Seek the images" but I can't be for sure.
@SuperShaunboi i agree but all of the sites that i have looked for the lyrics in say see the images and i think it's the sky weeps tonight but that's what i hear lol
I think everyone here is being an oppinionated asshole. Both eras of Killswtich Engage with BOTH singers, both Howard and Jesse were great. Theyre just different, This era of Killswitch had a more hardcore sound to it, more screaming, less vocals, Jesse arguably is a better screamer than Howard. New Killswitch is more Melodic metalcore, with more singing, because Howard is arguably a better singer. Either way, its great, shut the fuck up and enjoy people.
@Myangerdoesnotdie lol its funny how you start out with saying everyone is being an opinionated asshole and then state your opinion as if its absolute. just shut the fuck up, moron.

I'm not here to hate, and both are good singers, but I much prefer their songs without screaming so hard that I can barely understand them. I've been into thrash, death metal, prog. rock, classic rock, and speed since my father introduced me to Metallica and various others.. From what I understand though, most "screamo" bands just have vocalists that can't sing for shit so they give head to the mic (because it sounds like they're slobbering all over it.) I can tolerate a good growl, but fuck.
@JonG215 yeah and not only make itno a six minute song but also make it a beast of a song, this is one of my favorite if not my favorite beahind life to lifeless on this album
@CornadaTV hell no man! Jesse had such a better range with his screaming. jesse hands down. i stopped listening to KSE when Phil started. It was like he was just a imitator
@LostAmongGiants Phil Anselmo was never in Killswitch Engage for fuck's sake. He was the lead singer for PANTERA. And no, Jesse is one of my all time favorite vocalists, but Phil Anselmo wipes the floor with him. Phil has much more range than Jesse could ever dream of having.
@CornadaTV That's my bad then. see i heard the new singer and was disappointed with him so his name was never worth my time to learn. i just saw the name phil in a comment and assumed that was the guys name XD
Times of Grace and KSE are two different styles of music. However, I like them both :) Jesse showed us a great capability of his voice. I think he is the last great singer for me.
I'm sorry... it's just that screamo is not good. Or well, not compared to actual metal like that of In Flames or Dark Tranquillity. I'm just saying that metalcore came last, and I know I might get a lot of hate for this, but my friend said I'd like this band since im into death metal, but it's not a good genre. Without that infernal screaming... this'd be a great band after listening to the several songs I have.
@oamLHeadBangerLmao Listen to Times of Grace, Jesse Leach (the singer from this album) and Adam D (the guitarist) created the band a few months back. It might appeal more to your taste as most of their songs have clean vocals.
@Endofserenity Aight man, I checked 'em out and you were right. They're pretty good. I always liked metalcore for it's breakdowns and epic guitar riffs... but that screaming just sounds like a complete pile of shit. Being a singer, im just a bit critical, but anyone who does "harsh" vocals will tell you that regular death metal takes way more skill then the flat screams of (most of) these shitty screamo bands here in America.
@Baalx3 Cradle of Filth is okay. I'm not too into Black Metal, though I can admit they have a lot of talent. Nymphetamine? Beautiful song dude, but just not my style. I'm more into Melodeth, personally. IMO the lyrics (at least of the Melodeth bands I listen to) are just more inspiring and intrapersonal.
@oamLHeadBangerLmao Dude, I respect your opinion, but you missed a big detail....THIS ISNT SCREAMO. Screamo is Bring Me The Horizon, 3OH3!, The Devil Wears Pradda, etc. Screamo is a wannabe hardcore offshoot filled with crybaby teenagers who straighten their hair, wear skinny jeans, cover their faces in makeup, and go onstage and slit their wrists. This is metal. Theres a big difference even though people dont wanna admit it. Opeth is Death Metal, but they scream sometimes. Just saying man.
@XxInTheUnblindxX Bring me the Horizon are not Screamo, in all fairness, you can say what you want about them, but they were Deathcore and are now, well a bit shit really. I agree with your other examples though...
@felynecomrade Ugh... why are you so naive? That's where the term "Screamo" even came from. And I'm sure most metalcore fans that actually know what they're talking about would agree, including me. I know my metalcore as well (and in case you're one of those "tester" types) All That Remains, Falling in Reverse, Trivium (even though I think they're falsely labelled), ect. So you can believe what you will, because you can never win over the internet, but metalcore is, indeed, screamo.
@oamLHeadBangerLmao I'm naive? You're the one who said Killswitch "is not good", never mind the fact that you got their genre wrong. "most metalcore fans that actually know what they're talking about would agree"? That's also wrong. You are the first person I've seen who thinks metalcore is screamo, everyone else I've seen knows they're 2 separate genres. Metalcore is not screamo, and Killswitch are very good. If you think otherwise, kindly keep it to yourself.
@felynecomrade I didn't say that they weren't good, I said that I didn't think metalcore was good. KSE might be very talented in the metalcore realm, I won't deny anything, but what I do know is that metalcore came last after a long line of well respected sub-genres such as Doom, Black, Melodeth, Extreme, Thrash, Gothic, ect. I still believe that, not metalcore, but the whole "core" genre is screamo, seeing as, yes, metalcore and screamo ARE in fact seperate genres (why argue with Google)...
@felynecomrade So I'll just take back what I said about them being the same (even though they are generally stereotyped to be the same), and since neither of us are obviously going to budge, I'll respectfully agree to disagree with you.
@stevenbedell I'm aware that people like this album, such do I. Although, my argument was between me and him, for another subject. I believe you misread, for that is not why I argued with him.
@XxInTheUnblindxX In the contrary it appears as if howard changed the band into something to which there are few other bands doing. From my limited knowledge, only a handful of bands have a similar sound; Soilwork, the older Sonic Syndicate, newer All that Remains, and potentially In Flames.. just to name a few, and there are probably aren't terribly many more to name.
@DVengence1 As each one of Howards albums came out, they moved farther and farther away from the complex, hardcore sound they were founded on. I dont even want the new album because its all singing and generic songs, nothing special anymore. You cant find songs like this from Howard. Thats just my 2 cents
@Hmphisback I don't think it would've. Listening to The Empire Shall Fall and Times of Grace, Jesse still never gave into singing about girlfriends and broken hearts. Its just my opinion, if you dont agree, that's fine. Can't argue over opinions
@XxInTheUnblindxX I was meaning towards the fact they were getting less heavier as they progressed. Seeing "The empir shall fall" and "Times of Grace", it proves the fact that even with Jesse, they would progress and become less heavy in time.
@EternallyFalse No, but since he was pointing out how KsE was becoming less heavy and complex with Howard, I thought I would ask him if he thought even with Jesse, that they would become less heavy and complex. Also, I believe it was, too, necessary to point out that Jesse did become less heavy and complex. To me, all this talk about it "not being heavy, or hardcore enough", I've one thing to say: Give a shit, Give a shit? Not I, not I!
@Hmphisback Not trying to be a dick, but those dont count. The Empire Shall Fall was a hard rock/borderline metal band. They're not very heavy at all and are very different from Killswitch. And Jesse and Adam have tried extremely hard to stress that Times of Grace are NOT Killswitch. The material, the style, everything. Its supposed to be a new sound for them, and it is. You cant really compare those 2 bands to what Jesse would have become. Over time, they would have evolved. But not like Howard
@Hmphisback If Jesse had stayed on, it would have evolved into something different. That happens to all bands. But it would be much different than how it evolved with Howard. With Howard, they pretty much went mainstream. Just listen to songs like The End of Heartache and Starting Over. Those are just 2 of many examples of how they evolved into a soft, generic, mainstream sound. Random double bass, generic palm-muted strumming, and whining lyrics turned Killswitch mainstream.
@XxInTheUnblindxX Dude, Killswitch Engage turned mainstream with this album. They remained mainstream even after this. You want an example of mainstream "crybaby metal" from Jesse? Element of One and My last serenade. Those two are obviously mainstream by how you would describe it. If you don't believe me, then compare them to your example. Also, quit wishing for Jesse to come back. He said it himself, and he's done with KsE. Move on, and embrace Howard. At least we still have a Killswitch.
@Hmphisback My Last Serenade...maybe. The Element of One? Heck no. Not mainstream. We must have different definitions for mainstream my friend...and by the way: I never wished for him back. If it wasnt for Howard, I most likely wouldnt have found Killswitch. Howard has made good songs. I love My Curse, This Fire, and the Arms of Sorrow to name a few. Hes a great singer. My point was that I like Jesse better. Doesnt mean I dont like Howard.
@XxInTheUnblindxX Ah, I see. I suppose I misunderstood you. I thought you were a fag that goes on Killswitch videos saying "true fans would only listen to Jesse. Howard sucks dick!"
@Hmphisback That's probably all. No hard feelings man. Yeah. Well l, I can see where some fans are coming from when they say they only like one singer or the other, but I don't agree. You have to respect them both. Jesse is what got them started. He's the hardcore, passionate voice of Killswitch. Howard is what made them more famous and got them to where they are today. He's the more singing-heavy, emotional voice of killswitch. 2 different voices of the same band.
@XxInTheUnblindxX I agree with most of this, however I thought As Daylight Dies was extremely good. End of Heartache and the other self titled were pretty meh though.
JESSE A CHRISTAIN??? OMG!! IM GONNA KILL MYSELF!!!!
POW!!! IM DEAD!!!!

@LostAmongGiants Phil Anselmo was never in Killswitch Engage for fuck's sake. He was the lead singer for PANTERA. And no, Jesse is one of my all time favorite vocalists, but Phil Anselmo wipes the floor with him. Phil has much more range than Jesse could ever dream of having.

@CornadaTV That's my bad then. see i heard the new singer and was disappointed with him so his name was never worth my time to learn. i just saw the name phil in a comment and assumed that was the guys name XD

Times of Grace and KSE are two different styles of music. However, I like them both :) Jesse showed us a great capability of his voice. I think he is the last great singer for me.

I'm sorry... it's just that screamo is not good. Or well, not compared to actual metal like that of In Flames or Dark Tranquillity. I'm just saying that metalcore came last, and I know I might get a lot of hate for this, but my friend said I'd like this band since im into death metal, but it's not a good genre. Without that infernal screaming... this'd be a great band after listening to the several songs I have.
oamLHeadBangerLmao 7 months ago
@oamLHeadBangerLmao Listen to Times of Grace, Jesse Leach (the singer from this album) and Adam D (the guitarist) created the band a few months back. It might appeal more to your taste as most of their songs have clean vocals.

@Endofserenity Aight man, I checked 'em out and you were right. They're pretty good. I always liked metalcore for it's breakdowns and epic guitar riffs... but that screaming just sounds like a complete pile of shit. Being a singer, im just a bit critical, but anyone who does "harsh" vocals will tell you that regular death metal takes way more skill then the flat screams of (most of) these shitty screamo bands here in America.

@Baalx3 Cradle of Filth is okay. I'm not too into Black Metal, though I can admit they have a lot of talent. Nymphetamine? Beautiful song dude, but just not my style. I'm more into Melodeth, personally. IMO the lyrics (at least of the Melodeth bands I listen to) are just more inspiring and intrapersonal.
oamLHeadBangerLmao 6 months ago
@oamLHeadBangerLmao Dude, I respect your opinion, but you missed a big detail....THIS ISNT SCREAMO. Screamo is Bring Me The Horizon, 3OH3!, The Devil Wears Pradda, etc. Screamo is a wannabe hardcore offshoot filled with crybaby teenagers who straighten their hair, wear skinny jeans, cover their faces in makeup, and go onstage and slit their wrists. This is metal. Theres a big difference even though people dont wanna admit it. Opeth is Death Metal, but they scream sometimes. Just saying man.
XxInTheUnblindxX 6 months ago
@XxInTheUnblindxX Bring me the Horizon are not Screamo, in all fairness, you can say what you want about them, but they were Deathcore and are now, well a bit shit really. I agree with your other examples though...

felynecomrade 6 months ago in playlist Alive Or Just Breathing
@felynecomrade Ugh... why are you so naive? That's where the term "Screamo" even came from. And I'm sure most metalcore fans that actually know what they're talking about would agree, including me. I know my metalcore as well (and in case you're one of those "tester" types) All That Remains, Falling in Reverse, Trivium (even though I think they're falsely labelled), ect. So you can believe what you will, because you can never win over the internet, but metalcore is, indeed, screamo.
oamLHeadBangerLmao 6 months ago
@oamLHeadBangerLmao I'm naive? You're the one who said Killswitch "is not good", never mind the fact that you got their genre wrong. "most metalcore fans that actually know what they're talking about would agree"? That's also wrong. You are the first person I've seen who thinks metalcore is screamo, everyone else I've seen knows they're 2 separate genres. Metalcore is not screamo, and Killswitch are very good. If you think otherwise, kindly keep it to yourself.
felynecomrade 6 months ago
@felynecomrade I didn't say that they weren't good, I said that I didn't think metalcore was good. KSE might be very talented in the metalcore realm, I won't deny anything, but what I do know is that metalcore came last after a long line of well respected sub-genres such as Doom, Black, Melodeth, Extreme, Thrash, Gothic, ect. I still believe that, not metalcore, but the whole "core" genre is screamo, seeing as, yes, metalcore and screamo ARE in fact seperate genres (why argue with Google)...
oamLHeadBangerLmao 6 months ago
@felynecomrade So I'll just take back what I said about them being the same (even though they are generally stereotyped to be the same), and since neither of us are obviously going to budge, I'll respectfully agree to disagree with you.

With Jesse, Killswitch was whatever they wanted it to be. Howard turned it into crybaby mainstream "metal"
XxInTheUnblindxX 8 months ago 2
@XxInTheUnblindxX In the contrary it appears as if howard changed the band into something to which there are few other bands doing. From my limited knowledge, only a handful of bands have a similar sound; Soilwork, the older Sonic Syndicate, newer All that Remains, and potentially In Flames.. just to name a few, and there are probably aren't terribly many more to name.
DVengence1 8 months ago
@DVengence1 As each one of Howards albums came out, they moved farther and farther away from the complex, hardcore sound they were founded on. I dont even want the new album because its all singing and generic songs, nothing special anymore. You cant find songs like this from Howard. Thats just my 2 cents
XxInTheUnblindxX 8 months ago 36
@XxInTheUnblindxX And you believe that it wouldn't happen with Jesse in the band?
Hmphisback 8 months ago
@Hmphisback I don't think it would've. Listening to The Empire Shall Fall and Times of Grace, Jesse still never gave into singing about girlfriends and broken hearts. Its just my opinion, if you dont agree, that's fine. Can't argue over opinions
XxInTheUnblindxX 8 months ago
@XxInTheUnblindxX I was meaning towards the fact they were getting less heavier as they progressed. Seeing "The empir shall fall" and "Times of Grace", it proves the fact that even with Jesse, they would progress and become less heavy in time.
Hmphisback 8 months ago
@Hmphisback its all about how heavy it is huh?
EternallyFalse 7 months ago
@EternallyFalse No, but since he was pointing out how KsE was becoming less heavy and complex with Howard, I thought I would ask him if he thought even with Jesse, that they would become less heavy and complex. Also, I believe it was, too, necessary to point out that Jesse did become less heavy and complex. To me, all this talk about it "not being heavy, or hardcore enough", I've one thing to say: Give a shit, Give a shit? Not I, not I!
Hmphisback 7 months ago
@Hmphisback Not trying to be a dick, but those dont count. The Empire Shall Fall was a hard rock/borderline metal band. They're not very heavy at all and are very different from Killswitch. And Jesse and Adam have tried extremely hard to stress that Times of Grace are NOT Killswitch. The material, the style, everything. Its supposed to be a new sound for them, and it is. You cant really compare those 2 bands to what Jesse would have become. Over time, they would have evolved. But not like Howard
XxInTheUnblindxX 7 months ago
@XxInTheUnblindxX If you can't move on, then keep it to yourself, or just stop listening to Killswitch all together.
Hmphisback 7 months ago
@Hmphisback If Jesse had stayed on, it would have evolved into something different. That happens to all bands. But it would be much different than how it evolved with Howard. With Howard, they pretty much went mainstream. Just listen to songs like The End of Heartache and Starting Over. Those are just 2 of many examples of how they evolved into a soft, generic, mainstream sound. Random double bass, generic palm-muted strumming, and whining lyrics turned Killswitch mainstream.
XxInTheUnblindxX 7 months ago
@XxInTheUnblindxX Dude, Killswitch Engage turned mainstream with this album. They remained mainstream even after this. You want an example of mainstream "crybaby metal" from Jesse? Element of One and My last serenade. Those two are obviously mainstream by how you would describe it. If you don't believe me, then compare them to your example. Also, quit wishing for Jesse to come back. He said it himself, and he's done with KsE. Move on, and embrace Howard. At least we still have a Killswitch.
Hmphisback 7 months ago
@Hmphisback My Last Serenade...maybe. The Element of One? Heck no. Not mainstream. We must have different definitions for mainstream my friend...and by the way: I never wished for him back. If it wasnt for Howard, I most likely wouldnt have found Killswitch. Howard has made good songs. I love My Curse, This Fire, and the Arms of Sorrow to name a few. Hes a great singer. My point was that I like Jesse better. Doesnt mean I dont like Howard.
XxInTheUnblindxX 7 months ago
@XxInTheUnblindxX Ah, I see. I suppose I misunderstood you. I thought you were a fag that goes on Killswitch videos saying "true fans would only listen to Jesse. Howard sucks dick!"
Hmphisback 7 months ago
@Hmphisback That's probably all. No hard feelings man. Yeah. Well l, I can see where some fans are coming from when they say they only like one singer or the other, but I don't agree. You have to respect them both. Jesse is what got them started. He's the hardcore, passionate voice of Killswitch. Howard is what made them more famous and got them to where they are today. He's the more singing-heavy, emotional voice of killswitch. 2 different voices of the same band.
