The New Killswitch Engage album came out today. It's very good. I don't know if I'll ever like it as much as the previous two albums, but it's got some monster riffs and, as usual, Killswitch's powerful, positive lyrics. You can click here to watch Adam and Howard describe the album to hillarious effect.

Here's the very stylish video for the first single, My Curse:

If you don't know much about Killswitch, here are a few older videos, too.

I love this song, Rose Of Sharyn. The song grabbed me right off the bat with it's incredibly catchy riffs and train-wreck heaviness … and the song's subtly Christian message ("I mourn for those who never knew You") is just icing on the cake:

Unfortunately, this mix of The End Of Heartache is from one of the Resident Evil movie soundtracks. It's a "cleaned up" version, with the vocals toned down and some of the edge seems gone … but the song still rocks ... and I love the dichotomy of having such heavy music paired with lyrics like "Seek me for comfort, call me for solace..."

Here's a performance of one of the best songs on the previous album, called When Darkness Falls. This is from Killswitch Engage's live concert DVD that was released last year.

And, lastly, the first KSE song I ever heard and, consequentially, the song that got me into the band. This song features their former vocalist, Jesse Leach. I like their new singer, Howard Jones, much better. I'm in the minority of Killswitch fans in that regard. Anyway, this is My Last Serenade:
