CD Description
Fourth album from US metalcore troupe lays claim to being one of the finest metal albums of 2006. This follow-up to 2004's 'The End Of Heartache' - which introduced new vocalist Howard Jones - sees him dispel any remaining doubts over his inclusion. The band's synthesis of pulverizing brutality, catchy melody and unabashedly epic, impassioned songwriting isstaggeringly powerful, and captured to perfection in a killer production job from guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz.

Customer Reviews

So relieved.
So, i've had a sneaky listen of the album and I was so glad with the final product. Now being a huge fan I was concerned that through time the band would conform, like a whole heap of other bands, and 'go pop'. However, Killswitch have retained their integrity and produced an album that is inspiring and memorable. I am a big fan of riff driven songs, and decent breakdowns that get my heart beating and head banging. Killswitch deleiver the goods with stand out tracks such as first single 'My Curse', 'For You', 'Break the Silence', 'Through the Eye of the Storm' and 'This is Absolution'. Howard Jones's vocals are just incredible, with breathtaking versatility, the guitars are as always technical and heavy, with a hint of ambience at times. Justin Foley nails the drums as if he were powered by some kind of machine. One pleasent suprise was to hear a lot more of Adam D singing on certain tracks, a great set of chords right there if I don't say so myself! All in all superb!

How the shizzle have they made 4 great albums?
I've been a KSE fan since the self titled album back when Adam D was the drummer and Jesse Leach was in charge of vocals. Alive of Just Breathing followed on smoothly, the sound barely changed. Although on that album Adam D moved to the guitars and Tom Gomes came in to play drums.

Then Jesse and Tom left, I thought it may be the end for KSE, most bands tend to die when they bring in a new singer. But Howard Jones and Justin Foley came in from BloodHasBeenShed, The End of Heartache came out, and they proved that the right changes can improve even a band as great as KSE.

Howards vocals are a perfect blend of agression and melody. He's also a big guy, which makes KSE look as hard as they sound. As Daylight Dies is in my opinion the best album yet, it's got a much more polished sound than the previous albums, and with Adam D producing in the same way he's produced many hardcore albums its no suprise this sounds so good.

I've listened to this album a lot already but can't choose a standout song. They're all amazing, and when the CD finishes you want to hear it all again. If you are already a fan then this is a no brainer, you just have to buy it. If you're into Hardcore/Metalcore then the same applies. Not only are they great on CD they are also great live so I'd recomened getting tickets for the shows in 2007.

Killswitch are back, and better than ever
After hearing As daylight dies for the first time yesterday i was very impressed, this album is a much needed step up from End of heartache which in my eyes wasnt their best. however after being a huge killswitch for years, i was happy to hear the album deliver an amazing blend of top notch guitar rifs, perfect vocals from Howard and Adam, and top class drum beats from Justin,
a top purchase..
