KILLSWITCH ENGAGE - This Is Absolution

[manutd12us]

Bad ass band, bad ass song, gonna miss Howard. My favorite black man.

[chazzahero]

"do not grieve, end the suffering, we will live, live eternal..."

well he retired and there's not much we can do but cement the greatness he wrought in our minds. Don't dwell on what was, but remember everything that howard's talents and voice meant to you. I hope he finds his absolution in life!

[lambobrian]

LOL Someone had a Russian flag. <3

[NTHps]

I'm going to miss Howard...

[rockerbobcat]

Thanks Howard. I loved your vocal style.

[asilaydyingrules1]

1:56 those are some GREEN pants...XD

[maquinadefuego0071]

Rockkk.!

[CarreyOglesby]

maybe Adam D. should take over?

[Zimanti5]

howard u ....

[Skodnavne]

i've been in some pretty sick mosh pits... no fucking doubt if ya'll were there... but the one at the beginning WAS JUST AWESOME... beats anything i've tried... respect to the band that made that happen, Killswitch Engage!

[DeadMemoriesHoll]

Howard you fuckin legend, gonna miss you!

[Xenios9]

@DeadMemoriesHoll WHY DID HOWARD LEAVE?

[DeadMemoriesHoll]

@Xenios9 He found out he has type 2 diabetes :( so he thought it was best to leave. He said he didn't feel he could put all of himself into KSE

[LumpyAdams]

Howard....... :'( You will be missed. One of the best metal singers...ever.

[buclao5432]

The new KsE singer will kill KsE or give KsE a fucking bad name. I love Phil L of ATR and Jesse Leach, but them 2 will NOT make KsE as amazing as Howard Jones. And I don't want Phil or Jesse leave they band either. I will pray for Howard get well soon so he can return back time to KsE .

[Obsiviction]

@buclao5432 Jesse did Times of Grace while he did The Empire. Jesse started out in KillSwitch, man. And it's not all physical reasons....That Howard left I mean.

[buclao5432]

KsE will not dies this way....Howard please come back please.

[shad0w4life2]

@CalIingTheRain really I thought ToG's album was really weak, nothing in it really kicked my adrenaline up a notch. Strength in numbers was ok but still really lacked the metalcore heavy then clean vocals I personally like, if done right. ATR and ToG are more similar I think and atr excels in all ways for myself and really puts me off other similar bands.

[psykokillers]

so sad... howard miss u

[Yey4Jay]

HOWARD Y U LEAVE :(



[buclao5432]

Howard Fucking Jones is the GOD of KsE singer and the fucking GOD of metal singer these days.

[shad0w4life2]

God damnit, Howard was probably my fav singer of any genre of music I listen to.

Everyone saying Jesse come back blah blah, he just wasn't nearly as good, if he sang this song it wouldn't have the same effect. Original KSE was ok but not nearly as good as what they became. There's a lot of growling bands to listen to, but the metalcore style KSE had just really hasn't been replicated, Times of Grace was very boring, nothing motivating me to do 1 extra 400lb deadlift when working out.

[CalIingTheRain]

@shad0w4life2

I agree I don't want Jesse back, because the KSE Jesse knows, is no more. But Times of Grace fucking recorded on of the best albums of 2011. Goddamnit

[buclao5432]

KsE will NOT dies this way. Howard, Adam, Mike, Justin and Joel.

[jamesgrenard]

COME BACK HOWARD!!!!!!!!

[TheSpearsEDGE]

howard jones gone D: whyyyyy

[TheDuDe536]

you know this song is amazing when a computer geek like me even headbangs to this song

[yowmingnoob94]

omfg i didnt know there singer was black... this makes everything even better :D jimmy Hendricks for the win!!!!!

[meshuggah220]

@yowmingnoob94 You don't have enough respect for him to learn how to spell his name correctly?

[yowmingnoob94]

@meshuggah220 srry lol iv only seen his named spelled like 3 times

[MegaNightmare31]

Lil Wayne this is how you do it.

[Redemption115]

[MrGetstoked79]

Just mind blowing!! Get Stoked\m/

[phonecallsfromyou]

[briannewyork9876]

does anyone know if they broke up or not? ive heard yes and no...i noticed their website hasnt really updated neither



[DPYankees1]

@briannewyork9876 they are scheduled to release a new album in 2012, so the answer is they are still together despite rumors of Jones wanting to retire

[buclao5432]

@DPYankees1 Howard Jones will never gonna retire from KsE... Howard Jones is the fucking GOD of metal singer these days. KsE 4life...All That Remains..As I Lay Dying..Lamb Of God..August Burns Red..Megadeth..Slayer..Disturb­ed..Slipknot..White Chapel.. Suicide Silence..Trivium..Parkway Drive..Times Of Grace..God Forbid..Texas In July..Hatebreed...Iron Maiden.. Pantera..Ozzy..Shadows Fall..Devil Driver..Behemoth..Black Dahila Murder...metal life.

[MusicIzTheAnswer]

@buclao5432 hate to break it to you, but HE RETIRED!!

[pegastarzs]

@DPYankees1 retire!?! whata pussy! he's like wha?? 34 or something haha whatever

[msbj10]

@pegastarzs Message From Howard: Well, I guess I will shed a little light without going too deep. As some of you may know, I've had a pretty interesting couple of years to say the least battling with some personal issues. One of the low points being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes that went unchecked for years. The rest of the band stuck with me through it, and to be honest they are the ones that kept me going. The whole experience definitely put a scare in me

/watch?v=WLsah61vmuk

[dikkenerd100]

I used to like this emo metal a long time ago but i never listen to them anymore except this song

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@dikkenerd100 This isn't emo metal A7X, Black Veil Brides, Escape The Fate, that's emo metal

[ToNyTrAgEdY100]

@MartyFriedmanRulez66 BVB and ETF yes but a7x is not emo in any sense. maybe if you listened instead of spitting bullshit you'd realize that..

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@ToNyTrAgEdY100 I used to listen to A7X when I liked garbage, so I do know that they are a Hard Rock/Emo Metal band

[killswitchlee123]

@dikkenerd100 dude this isn't emo

[clarke20682]

i love killswitch i hope we will meet them one time on stage. but for this we need your help, please check our song out and let us know if you like it

Die Tomorrow - Walking Dead (Demo Cd Song)

[crowbarface1]

everyone talks all the time about howard, jessie, maybe a little bit of pete and tom. but seriously give credit to adam, mike and joel, the only constant with the band ahahah,

[blackened247]

if this doesnt give you chills, ur one soulless bastard!

[BluntMasterZero]

I dont understand why people hate on thumbs upped comments, they're funny, who gives a fuck if they're copied & pasted :L

[Exilitus]

*Copied and pasted comment* Now I just wait for the thumbs :D

[TheDuDe536]

man J Fo's got one narly beard, awsome

[SoundofTruth78]

wait Adam can stay in the same place long enough to sing????

[CobaltCobra11]

SCARY THOUGHt EVERYONE!(I find myself thinking about this sometimes),what if howard leaves the band for any reason(hopefully never)what wud they du?.here are the things i think kse would do 1.Promote adam D as lead vocalist {hiz singing got alot better in times of grace},2.look for a new lead vocalist or .....well thats it just two theorys.but in my opinion if anything happens they should give the job to BRANDIN DAVIS of acrOss the sun hes almost identical to howard,shit even christian alvestam.

[Direksone]

@CobaltCobra11 He is not leaving. They have announced they are recording a new album after the Times of Grace tour. Get your info straight instead of coming up with bullshit.

[CobaltCobra11]

@Direksone where Did I ever say they were leaving.

[buclao5432]

@Direksone hell yeah dude KsE are making new album will come out 2012 summer and new tour. I hope KsE take Times Of Grace out with them. KsE till the end.

[hfg23thewest]

[VOL7AGE55]

[DillonSavage]

adams face at 0:01 is priceless

[screamingismyair]

how come ppl never talk about KSE but they talk about oceano... they are ntohing compared to howard... jsut because theyre both black, howard has a powerful voice hence more talent... alex from oceano is good but nothing compared to howard

[SuperBIGBOY109]

Some people compare Howard to God, I mean I understand were they are coming from, but God is no Howard.

[warwilly2k8]

dude what on earth is going through your mind? pmsl what ever it is your drinking or smokeing you need to quit and get your ass into rehab hahahaha

[1504245]

@124353933474549 and beer, you need liquids to live!.

[jickjeeves1]

It has nothing to do with racism lol. It has everything to do with banging a pornstar when you're married. All the while being the figurehead of metal to millions of kids in the United States. Him being black just makes it even more ironic, lol I mean do I even have to start on about tiger woods.

[Torresmatheus6661]

kkkkk sorry, i'm just kidding with you. I'm not racist, really... I just want to see what the reaction of them all and see if YT ban my acc because a racist comment(My english is a shit). And Howard is fucking awesome

[MsAndii92]

[022fender]

[Torresmatheus6661]

[Glowsticks1000]

@Torresmatheus6661 dude take your KKK hood off and enjoy the song

[Mabbzz60]

@Torresmatheus6661 wow... I can't believe that in 2011 there are still people who are racist.. no wonder god hate us..

[zombiesalamander]

@Mabbzz60 there is no god, dumb ass

[Mabbzz60]

@zombiesalamander it was a metaphore.. dumb ass.. lol

[zombiesalamander]

@Mabbzz60 not really, its just you being an ignorant prick that deserves to be crucified like your precious little jesus did

[Mabbzz60]

@zombiesalamander whacha want me do ?.. troll .. get a life.. I don't believe there are gods or w-e.. I don't even believe that jesus was real.. you don't know me, I bet I know more than you do.. and I wish I could know you better.. so I could argue this face to face.. cuz I love arguing.. and I'd love to see who look better cruciied ;) ... so go back to you're meth and hoes.. I mean your dad and mom .. and think before you talk !!

[disturbed57]

Justin Bieber's penis is the size of the dislike bar. In Soviet Russia, something happens because of this video. Chuck Norris is somehow related to disliking or liking this. This was found on hitlers i-pod. Dislikers argue about pointless things. My parents thought I was watching porn. I hate ads and Vevo is gay and sucks. All kinds of messed up impossible things happened. And lastly i jizzed.

Now you dont have to read all the comments. You're welcome.

[thezenmind44]

@disturbed57

Well-played sir.

[disturbed57]

@Obsiviction lol apparently not everyone has seen it, and im sure i made some peoples days so you can get over it.

[XKillswitchxEngagedX]

Adam D. gave me and my grandma a rim job in front of a nun. Needless to say we both have hangnail on our dick.

[amiller619]

Does anyone know if/when Howard will be back with the band? I heard he took a leave of absense of sorts and never really said when hed be back? I could be wrong, I just want some new music from KSE lol.

Side note, if you like this band check out Times of Grace. Adam, current guitarist for KSE, and Jesse, old singer for KSE, put together a pretty damn good cd.

[TheASCfan]

If you like this style of music, a good up and coming band to check out is "As Shadows Collapse" search for their video called "A lesson learned" its worth checking out, and for more songs "like" them on facebook.

[smildonfatalis1]

Damn I wish I was in the crowd

[aqpforce]

This band is great and funny!!!

[Bazz22100]

They look incredibly fun to hang with
