[@TheGroundBeef]

these guys are the GODS of metalcore. the definition of metalcore is literally "killswitch engage"

[@anggiesurya7377]

100% agreed

[@Jessperado]

You can tell how many times they've played a certain song by the sheer number of extra pinch harmonics that get added.

[@WhaddupImJohn]

The pinchies make me laugh every time haha

[@chrisvanegmond3157]

This is so true lmao, love it.

[@rallyeo75]

My Last Serenade always becomes a competition to see who can hit more of them. 😂

[@LucasSantos-ei1qm]

I learned pinch harmonic with KSE hahaha I am 100% sure that I will never see a band which explores it how they do. but a fun fact, back in 2014, they toured here in Brazil with Memphis may fire and battlecross, Both bands were exploring harmonics as KSE does, after that, I had the chance to talk with Adam and asked if he noticed that, he answered me something like the dudes of MMF said to him in the backstage: "we are touring with KSE, so we need to do their harmonics"and then he laughed to me, and as I told before, I said to him that I learned harmonics with KSE, and he said something like at least we"taught something haha" they have no idea that KSE changed my life. love those guys and how friendly they were that day. Now, after 10 years ill see they again in Brazil

It is incredible how Jessie's clean vocals improved over the years. Respect!

[@DR-tx9mr]

Not to be negative, but do you really think his clean vocals were good at this show? I love his vocals, but he’s a bit out of tune in this video. 😊

I mean, they are better on ArteConcert show, but he is doing pretty well, it was never his forte to put it midly @@DR-tx9mr

​@9hk38f I agree, you should get your ears checked. Jesse is awesome.

[@jerminator0688]

Need to see them live. On my bucket list for sure.

[@maki1a]

Listened to KSE for 20-25 years now...I think they are in the best spot they've been in for at least the past decade. Jesse sounds so much more powerful, his vocals live are so much better than in the past. The instruments are tight as can be. Adam at full strength. Justin in top form. It's wonderful to see them having fun and sounding so good again.

[@mattmine9986]

couldn't agree more, saw them couple of months ago. breath taking

[@RemyVorender]

KSE aging like fine wine. Incredibly impressed.

[@sweeper302]

Im listening from this band 14 years old

[@Polanadakian]

This is horrible compared to their live dvd with Howard from 15 years ago.

[@mattmine9986]

@Polanadakian that dvd is truly outstanding, but time pass and things never stay the same

[@jimtobakos1933]

The sound on this is insane. Guitar tones especially. And Jesse is a monster.

[@fantasticomundoanimal]

his screams are terrible... we dont need to lie..

[@brettnat]

Howard and Jesse both doing a Killswitch set together would be awesome.

[@garrett1144]

I would love to see a duo, it would be so good.

Look it up its happened but i think it was just Howard and Jesse stepped away

Can't believe they played Reckoning!! That self titled album is massively underrated.

[@Mongorat]

never again is damn brutal

[@magicofactuality]

@@Mongorat Those lyrics hit hard!

[@salimmeraoubi9478]

Yep,they play reckoning since a few years now

[@fromdepthswerise3024]

The band has said themselves that the second self-titled album is the least favorite of theirs for a few reasons - primarily that they were in a pretty bad headspace for most of the recording. If you look for the back story, it was the first time they went to an outside producer (and that experience was so bad they went back to Massachusetts and finished the record with Adam), the relationship with Howard was starting to fray a bit, and you could hear it in both the lyrics and music. So for the longest time, they avoided playing most of the songs live. When I saw them back in 2016, that was the only album they didn't play anything off of.

[@YippiCola]

It's a good album with a few real bangers but some of its other songs are definitely less than inspired.

[@olucaasferreira]

We need to talk about Adam and his multiroles within the band. In addition to producing and creating all the arrangements for Killswitch Engage's albums, he also plays and provides vocal support for Jesse in a stunning way... this guy is absurd, his singing and soloing techniques are incredible!!! ! Long live this incredible band called Killswitch Engage!!!!! \0/ 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Frank88Workz]

he IS metalcore, if you don't already know, lookup how many albums he produced for other bands too (major bangers)

[@GazuNeveS]

He played the fkn drums on alive or just breathing..... he the fkn goat

[@ReallyJustAnotherDay]

This has to be some expert level trolling considering they've been around for a quarter of a century+

[@Compassionate38]

Jesse these days is sounding impeccable. Rare for a performer singing expert-level songs with screams and shit to sound this good consistently.

[@GlennWDavisII]

God damn they sound good! Jessie has really evolved into such a phenomenal front man and vocalist. He's in his prime right now. The band as well. Incredible musicians.

[@midnightstrike3625]

I haven't listened to KSE in a while, and this concert is absolutely mindblowing! If they sound anywhere NEAR this good, they need to release something ASAP! WOW!

[@petitepatate9727]

[@nz540im3]

This concert is epic. It’s given me a massive appreciation to how amazing Jesse is. I found KSE when Howard was in and was just blown away by the hugely popular songs that bled somewhat mainstream. I’ve listened to bits and pieces of some of the first Jesse era albums and stuff and it’s great yea. But Howard just had this thing that was undeniable. I wasn’t on team H or J it’s just the era I was introduced to was Howard. This is fucking amazing though and I’m just KSE all through. I can see what some people mean by just how far Jesse has come as a vocalist. Lets just love that this band has had two epic eras. And right now it’s fucking UNDENIABLE.

[@jerminator0688]

As amazing of a vocalist as Howard is and the amazing albums he contributed to with this band that blew them into the stratosphere, I will personally say NOTHING beats “Alive or Just Breathing.” That album is a classic!!! Jesse is the man! Now hearing Howard perform those songs, holy moly. The guy takes it to another level, but I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Jesse because of that album alone.

[@SonOfManMusic]

They still kill it. Every. Single. Time. Really cool that they played Reckoning too.

[@brodierobson4490]

This band got me to this point in life. Thanks KSE!

Was there, can confirm it was fucking wild. Pits, hugs, tears, shouting singing and screaming, beer. Only thing missing was a Howard appearance. I've seen them about 3 times since 2010 with Howard and this was the 3rd time with Jesse, and this one was by far the greatest in those 13 years.

[@ddroz23]

I really got into KSE when Howard was Lead. I went back and heard the earlier work and style was so different to me. It is awesome how they kept such a following with 2 leads that have opposing styles. The collaboration songs are so good BC the Duet is complimentary. Howard can really belt and care notes. Jesse has that sharp scream with Point accuracy in his vocals. Always loved this band.
