    2021 and I am 66yrs old and this is the band I listen to the most, so much in fact I bought a guitar and amp and trying to learn the tunes. Just the best band I have ever heard.

    Edit: The decade began in 2021 so 2020 belongs to the past decade, so this did not start badly but ended that way and now we have to fix it, I wonder how this one will end... whatever it is, we have to keep rocking.

    "My Last Serenade"
    This revelation is the death of ignorance
    Tangled in a state of suffocation
    Slave to self-righteousness
    Damnation is on your lips
    From sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution,
    From sorrow to serenity, it's on your head
    This is my last serenade
    I feel you as you fall away
    This is my last serenade
    From yourself, you can't run away
    It's your choice, point the finger
    But it's on your head
    Your destination is a choice within yourself
    Will you rise or become a slave
    To self-righteousness
    Open up your heart and gaze within
    This is my last serenade
    I feel you as you fall away
    This is my last serenade
    From yourself, you can't run away
    I just love Killswitch Engage; for me, their brand of metalcore stands out from the rest.

    The thing that makes metal so much better than mainstream music is the amount of heart and extent to which the band puts into their music. It's not for the money, it's not for the fame, it for bands to express their lives, themselves. Their pain, their love, their experiences, are all manifested by their skills and talents. Singers blow out their voices, suffer from depression, anxiety, and drummers move onto new frontiers, lead guitarists commit suicide. The amount of an indescribable emotion that surrounds metal music and their personal counterparts (band members) can only be referred to as such. For it is so emotional to a point of unfathomableness. That is why metal and rock will always be my favorite music.

      Honestly depends of how much damage on one-side/both sides has done. But indeed is the best for both parties to walk away from the toxic relationship has become over the years. Nevertheless hurts to walk away something you adored/loved and the only thing you have are memories from the past.

    "My Last Serenade" is one of the most iconic songs by Killswitch Engage, a metalcore band from Massachusetts. Released in 2002 on their album Alive or Just Breathing, the track helped define the band's signature blend of heavy, melodic, and emotionally charged metal.
    The song is known for its dynamic mix of harsh growled verses and clean, melodic choruses, reflecting the band's dual vocal approach, led by Jesse Leach at the time. "My Last Serenade" deals with themes of self-realization, empowerment, and breaking free from toxic patterns. Its memorable chorus and intense breakdowns helped it become a staple in Killswitch Engage's live shows and one of the key songs that brought them mainstream attention during the rise of metalcore in the early 2000s.
    It's a song that showcases both the aggression and beauty that the band is known for, and it remains a fan favorite to this day.

    Then you have bands like Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack, Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice & Men, etc, etc.

    • @RyanKaufman
      @RyanKaufman 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Bestintheworld182 That's because the genre "Metalcore" is very generic. When someone says shit about Metalcore, they likely don't consider bands that are more on the other end of the spectrum actually coinciding in the genre. It's like the difference between Slipknot and Coal Chamber in Nu Metal. One is well regarded and otherwise left alone, the other is heavily looked down upon and if nothing else seen as a good precursor into better metal music.
