Following the demise of his band Overcast in 1998, bassist Mike D'Antonio explored the underground Massachusetts hardcore punk and heavy metal scenes in search of members for a new band. In 1999, D'Antonio met Adam Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel, guitarists for Aftershock. Dutkiewicz took the role of playing drums, while Stroetzel remained on guitar. The trio searched for a vocalist and eventually hired Jesse Leach, formerly of Corrin and Nothing Stays Gold. The now four-member band took the name of "Killswitch Engage," a name proposed by D'Antonio after watching an episode of the FOX program The X-Files entitled "Kill Switch" (the episode's writer, William Gibson, had a chance meeting with industrial band Kill Switch...Klick). While on tour with In Flames and Sha More... (Submit New Killswitch Engage Lyrics) (Submit New Killswitch Engage Lyrics) Review about Killswitch Engage Jesse isnt even good | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song This Is Absolution performed by Killswitch Engage Jesse, Is and was nothing compared to howard, howard is a way better vocalist than jesse could ever be, Howard has way more control of his voice, and can take it deep or soft, jesse couldnt do either, hes garbage, glad he isnt in it anymore, and howard us Answering to Jonathan | Reviewer: Krymzon ------ About the song The Arms Of Sorrow performed by Killswitch Engage Answering to ''Hu? | Reviewer: Jonathan | 10/13/08'' He's falling with groceries because you can't show suicide or someone commiting it on television according to the policies adopted by CBS, PBC and some states in the US, IIRC. Also, if you pay attention to the entire clip, the building he's in as catched on fire, but no one seems to notice: giving mroe credit to the theory that he's falling ''into the arms of sorrow'' (depression) caused by the fire (death of someone) but he's the only one to know of the situation. However, that last part is my 2 cents ^^ Bob Castle's rev | Reviewer: Bob Castle ------ About the song A Bid Farewell performed by Killswitch Engage Lyrics perception: These are my interpretations of the lyrics. Lyrics: I will bid farewell, sever the ties. > Justification that we are bound to bonds that bind us. We are tied to our own deceit and we need to cut the bond and never turn back Lyrics: Is this all I am, is this all that's left? Turn from deceit, the love of self is death, deliverance is given to you. > Trying to turn away from deceit and narcassism, being somwhat difficult. Love of self is death, being a metaphorical figure of deception and obsession of oneself that should be compramised. Lyrics: (Chorus) > Collaborates all the different aspects of the song into a chorus basically Lyrics: now your heart beats black with deception you have been forsaken leave behind (i will) all reminders of you of you > Basically states the hardship relationships may contain, to the extent of lies, disobeying someone and forsaking your vowels. Then to find solace, forgetting all existance of them. Lyrics: searching always searching, hoping for a change i will never be satisfied, i will now bid farewell >self explainitory. Seaching for a change, hoping for a change, seeking change, progression. Resisint to regression, retrogression, moving backwards etc.etc. then letting it go. Powerful | Reviewer: Nuno Neto ------ About the song Eye Of The Storm performed by Killswitch Engage Powerful song with strong words, a true metalcore harmony! About love and commitment. Hardcore and metalcore usually use this words/phrases keeping it deeper, stronger: "overcome", "struggle", "Never surrender", Killswitch Engage is true to its origins with, more and more, brutal breakdowns, riffs, vocals and sound engineering. Organic in-your-face fists of sound. Love it! Nuno Neto Lisbon - Portugal. Kick Ass | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Holy Diver performed by Killswitch Engage This Song Kicks Ass! I F-ing love it and cant get enough of it!!And for all you people baggin on this song...why in the hell are u even reviewing it!!!nobody wants to hear u talk trash on a amazing band and song!!! so just consider punching yourself in the face a couple times!!!and get a life!! Great song. | Reviewer: djluminus89 ------ About the song My Curse performed by Killswitch Engage I listen to all types of music but mostly hip-hop and rap, electronic, and alternative rock. I really am not into metal type music, but I like KSE because they make pretty melodic death/screamo metal. I love the ending of this song and I also really like The Arms of Sorrow. This is my curse. | Reviewer: Red Mage Zidane ------ About the song My Curse performed by Killswitch Engage "Well, i usually am not for anything but the techno music,especially the screaming type(hate scream-o X[) but i have to say, ever since i heard and played this song on GH3(love the video games lol)i liked it.This is a great song, not only for its value but because of the way it was put together. Now i actually listen to a variety of music instead of just one genera. This song kicks ass. and so does holy diver too." I remember you wanted to know what the song was when I was playing it when Giggles still had the game. Eheheh. This is fast becoming my theme song...as the girl I'm dating and completely in love with is leaving for the hellhole called job corps, and there's nothing I can do... Thats cool. | Reviewer: Nick ------ About the song For You performed by Killswitch Engage Oj, im sorry you consider our God as only one who punishes and judges, he is truly much more then that, but as Eric pointed out, I do respect other's beliefs. I would hope that KsE would point out what God really is, a loving, caring Father who killed his own Son for us. Which you do notice in their lyrics as you consider them only talking about one who created the universe. He did do this as well. :) He doesn't just stare down at us and shoot us with lightning bolts. Sorry, didnt mean to preach to you.lol no joke one of their best songs | Reviewer: Matt ------ About the song This Fire Burns performed by Killswitch Engage i absolutely love this song and kse is a great band. I'm the type of person that likes to listen to bands for their guitar sound, and it shud be said that kse is great in that area. The guitar playing in this song is great, and the lyrics are pretty catchy as well. It's too bad this song isn't on any of their albums, tho. My fave by KSE | Reviewer: Sam ------ About the song The Arms Of Sorrow performed by Killswitch Engage I think the lyrics are about a bunch of stress building up inside him, and eventually gets to be too much. Personally, I think 'Before I bleed, again' means, like, before someone hurts him again. 'Hiding behind the empty smiles' might mean he's pretending to be happy but he's not. Or he's suffering silently Element of one | Reviewer: Killswitch ------ About the song The Element Of One performed by Killswitch Engage i'd have to agree Reviewer: Midget | 5/11/09.... seriously the songs killswitch do is actually to do with their love lifes. it's when they where teenagers and couldn't find the "one". so sorry but you guys preaching that bible horseshit need to get a grip. if you want bible shit go to church. :) | Reviewer: hachiban08 ------ About the song My Curse performed by Killswitch Engage This is my favourite song by KSE. I can honestly say, this is my most played song and I have yet to get tired of it! It's that badass!! This song I connect to so well, especially at the moment. Also, Howie sure can belt it out :3 I <3 his voice!!!! ^^ The "Rose" | Reviewer: koizumi ------ About the song Rose of Sharyn performed by Killswitch Engage I know that there are a lot of discussions about the Rose of Sharyn being a religious reference - and that's cool, but I feel more strongly that the image here is about the loss of his mother. If you look at the lines "It won't be long, we'll meet again; Your memory is never passing; It won't be long, we'll meet again; My love for you is everlasting" - it really speaks out to me as the love a child has for a parent. Thinking about the sacrifice and effort, and the realization that someone irreplaceable has been taken. However, the lyrics reflect that death does not mean total separation - there is comfort in the memories of that person, and there is also the ultimate reality that when we die, we all become the same - if a line could be drawn definitively between life and death. I'm not a religious person at all, but the religious connotations are there if you really want to see them. There is no single correct interpretation. I always love how KSE has songs like this that waver back and forth between chaos, order, and comfort. You can hear a lot of similar compositional patterns in songs like End of Heartache, When Darkness Falls, and Arms of Sorrow to name a few. I always use KSE as the definitive example to show people indifferent to metal that it isn't a mess of notes with screaming. Metal can be just as artistic as any other variety of music - you just have to receptive to it. Lawl at you guys | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The End of Heartache performed by Killswitch Engage First off your all arguing on Sing365 lol. Second the people who care enough to argue the point that this could possibly be a christian reference you sound like morons because YOU DONT KNOW. You didn't write them, and you sound very immature and illiterate trying to use as many swears to upset the religious people lol. So please stop wasting your time as well as ours. And if i do recall, Howard had some religious background so argue with him not the facts. =] Be Two. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Be One performed by Killswitch Engage It's not about hidden christian messages, it's about not having to go with the flow and do whatever the 'idols' are doing. About looking deep inside you, ignoring assholes trying to put you down, and finding the power within yourself. They are NOT a hidden christian band. Awesome | Reviewer: Matthew Sort ------ About the song My Curse performed by Killswitch Engage "Well, i usually am not for anything but the techno music,especially the screaming type(hate scream-o X[) but i have to say, ever since i heard and played this song on GH3(love the video games lol)i liked it.This is a great song, not only for its value but because of the way it was put together. Now i actually listen to a variety of music instead of just one genera. This song kicks ass. and so does holy diver too." lol.... same reason i like some metal now and this song... music is awesome KSE ROCKS | Reviewer: Eric ------ About the song For You performed by Killswitch Engage I think that what killswitch engage is doing is amazing. I do believe that their lyrics point directly to God, but in an indirect way. The words lead the listener to think about what it means, without trying to force someone to believe. Yes, some of their songs probably were written for the ladies, but every band does that (christian bands: falling up, fam force 5, relient k. etc.) the lyrics of this song alone seem to be rewriten verses of the bible. "The finest parts of me, are only shades of you." sounds alot like that passage that said that our acts of righteousness are like filthy rags before God. anyway, agree with me or not, but dont trash someones beliefs please. i'll respect yours if you do the same for me but if you want to know more about God you can email me and ill be happy to talk with you =] Great Song | Reviewer: Saim ------ About the song This Fire Burns performed by Killswitch Engage I dont generally like death metal but this song rocks, the music is damn catchy and the lyrics are great, even though i had to listen the song a couple of times more to understand the exact lines, im currently hooked on to this song, its great! The Creator | Reviewer: Qj ------ About the song For You performed by Killswitch Engage Haha actually a lot of the songs are about "God" But not the God most of you silly people consider God...some separate being outside of yourself that judges you and punishes with eternal fires. Noooo He writes of eternal love that made the universe hehe. So did Jessie. This band is amazing. Definitely about being Saved | Reviewer: Nick ------ About the song For You performed by Killswitch Engage Many of KsE's songs have christian meanings. If you would research you would find that their previous singer was a devout christian and his father is a preacher. "This is absolution" listen to this. Absolution is complete forgiveness. Much like being saved. "The finest parts of me are only shades of you, to put aside the ties that bind is the goal of man." Pretty religious if you ask me. They have to give different interpretations of course, which is all music. But (stereotypically) the type of people that listen to this genre of music are not the elders of the church, and they may lose some of their fan base if they were to claim an affilation with Christianity.
