Album Description
With their fourth album, 'As Daylight Dies', Killswitch Engage are proving that if you keep playing the game your way, you'll eventually change the rules for everyone else. 'As Daylight Dies' isn't just a testament to the band's original vision; it's also their strongest fusion of aggression, melody, rock and metal to date.

Killswitch shows the rest how it's done... March 8, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have been a Killswitch fan since the first time I heard "The End Of Heartche" on the radio...it gave me chills. I'm an old-school metal chick who grew up on bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Queensryche and, yes, Def Leppard but I had lost my faith and passion for the music. Killswitch Engage brought it back...THANKS GUYS!!! :-) I own all their CDs and their DVD and through them discovered a whole new generation of bands like Shadows Fall, Lamb Of God, Unearth, Chimaria, All That Remains, Underoath, Trivium, As I Lay Dying, Stone Sour and even Slipknot, all of whom are now favorites as well.
I brought a copy of this Special Edition CD mostly to get Killswitch's cover version of "Holy Diver" by Dio. It is truly a rare feat when a band can cover another band's song and remain true to the style and integrity of the original while still making it their own. Killswitch Engage pulls it off with ease. The CD contains three other songs not included on the original version of "Daylight Dies;" "Let The Bridges Burn" and "Be One" are strong enough to have been included on the original album--"Bridges Burn" has the sort of dynamics that could make it an opening track--but "This Fire Burns," written for a WWE pay-per-view special, sounds like the band mailed it in and could have been left off.
This package features a DVD with all three videos from "Daylight Dies": "My Curse," "The Arms of Sorrow" and "Holy Diver." It also includes "making of" documentaries for "Curse" and "Sorrow" but not for "Holy Diver," which is too bad, because that video is by far the best of the three. It's a very funny throwback to the elaborate mini-movies that music videos used to be, and it's worth seeing just for the sight of Adam D in drag. ;-)
All in all, the "Daylight Dies" special edition is a great package for both new and old Killswitch fans alike; my only complaint is why do record labels put out a CD and then come out with "Special Editions" much later? Maybe if more new releases were packaged with special features in the first place, CD sales wouldn't be in the massive slump they are now, even with the digital revolution.

Great Dio Cover "Holy Diver" Rules !!!!!! November 9, 2007
2 out of 8 found this review helpful
The best song on here is the cover of Dio"s Holy Diver you should get the cd its worth it for that song. That being said you can never go wrong doing a cover of an awesome 80s metal song. Too bad new bands cant or dont play stuff like this for the most part they go for more "Trendy" stuff and thats too bad. Every so called metal band out today owes 80s metal bands because without 80s metal there would be nothing heavy not to mention all the best guitarist of all time came from 80s hard rock and 80s metal, Randy Rhoads,Zakk Wylde,Steve Vai,George Lynch,Eddie Vanhalen,Kerry King and even Dimebag all came from 80s metal bands. Kids now days have a lot to learn about true metal. Bring 80s style metal back and a good way to start is awesome 80s metal Covers!!!!
Bought this to hold me over to the new Skinlab Live CD April 10, 2008

Killswitch is one of my favorites....I like End of Heartache more, but this one is still excellent....I bought it while waiting on the new Skinlab live cd, SkinnedAlive to come out...so I'll see if this one grows on me.
