I'm going to have to say Darkest Hour and Shadows Fall really kicked off metal core because technically they were some of the first!! Besides Hatebreed but I never really got into them
@RebelGaming4U3 жыл бұрын
@@howiefelthersnatch3862 hatebreed was more hardcore not metalcore. Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall are around the same time since Adam D produced music for shadows fall and All That Remains and even As I Lay Dying. Killswitch Engage was more widely known in my opinion. I remember hearing the first 2 killswitch engage albums and I bought Alive or Just Breathing. When Guitar hero 3 came out and I unlocked the Killswitch Engage bonus song "My Curse" I absolutely fell in love with Killswitch. Loved both Jesse and Howard. Ive been to a few of their concerts and even have tickets to see them with Light The Torch and August Burns Red. Too bad covid came in. I guess you could say though that Shadows Fall falls in line with Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying as some og the founding members of metalcore but you have to admit Killswitch Engage has took it to another level....im glad they arent really mainstream as far as I know but they definitely deserve more credit and bigger fame.

Love this band! This was my first album of theirs and I have never looked back. I love both Jesse and Howard and kinda wish they could both front KSE. My faves are pretty much all songs from Alive or Just Breathing, but an underrated one that I really love is Rise Inside, also Element of One. Other faves are My Curse, End of Heartache, Starting Over, Save Me, Holy Diver, All In Due Time, Rose of Sharyn, Always, The Hell in Me, the list goes on to be honest. But most recently The Signal Fire! Anyway, they're an awesome band! Thanks for reacting to this one. Rxxx

Think most would agree that Howard is a more talent singer. But I love Jesse's lyrics & emotion.

If you want to jump to newer Jesse, I'd go with "The New Awakening" "Strength of the Mind" & "The Crownless King."
