This version I feel like does a disservice to the original version, this is the cleaner version for I think a movie (I think a resident evil movie or something)
There are actually several versions of this song. I believe this one is the radio version. There is another version that the screaming is considerably more in the forefront. Both versions are great.
Yes! I’ve been hoping you’d get to Howard era Killswitch. Great starting point, also. If you’re wanting to continue on I’d recommend Rose of Sharyn. Awesome song and a cool music video. And there are some live versions if that is more your style. Awesome reaction!
Charis, your love of Howard/killswitch & the fact that you've done a reaction for Avenged Sevenfold leads me to the very necessary question of "Have you heard any Bullet For My Valentine or Trivium?" Simply because those 4 bands collectively were all major players in the 2000's/2010's metalcore uprising & they share a lot of similar elements & yet the distinct & more subtle differences that I think you will pick up on & appreciate. Especially between earlier works of Trivium, BFMV & Killswitch... They had very similar sounds yet each had their own take on it & their own niches etc.
The live version of this on the set this world ablaze DVD is hands down the best of this song, the crowd and the intensity during the song is legendary.
I'm sure it's all over the comments, but you're doing yourself a great disservice by hearing the music video version. Its edits out all of Howard's amazing screams.
Love this song and Howard era Killswitch. But sadly, all the videos from this era remixed the songs a bit to make the harsh vocals less emphasized to make it more mainstream. I recommend checking out some album versions of these songs with Howard.
7:19 To get rid of those video suggestions at the end go to your account button on the top right of your screen then click: Settings | Playback & Performance | then untick Show In-Video Info Cards :)
For more of Howard Sion Jones (that's actually his full name), check out A Simple Man (Paragon Collective's the Oyster podcast) and Raise The Dead (Light the Torch) UPDATE: Just checked the channel. Delighted you reacted to A Simple Man.
He doesn't say broken mirrors. That line is "And my voice mirrors, mirrors my torment" But nice on pointing out all of the resonance parts. Just one of the things about this song that makes it one of my favorite songs ever!
The "iPhones" on the floor are monitors, the song was used for the soundtrack of Resident Evil: Apocalypse and in the original version of the video the inter cuts would cut to scenes from the movie.
The writer of the music is the guitarist, he's also the growls in the background behind Howard's vocals. That said Howard Jones is amazing. Watch him live. That man's voice is incredible.
Howard’s vocals and Adam’s incredible guitar skills is an insane combo. Now it’s not Howard, but instead Adam, but I cannot recommend enough would be Times of Grace. It’s a band that Adam D and Jesse(killswitchs original and now current vocalis) they started during a weird transition/phase Killswitch was going through. Some amazing songs in the album they dropped(The Hymn of a broken man)
If you choose to, please react to this version, the original version: th-cam.com/video/cBADGsnbgYQ/w-d-xo.html The screams overlap his clean vocals which is good, so you could pretty much hear both.
Check out Rose Of Sharyn, Arms Of Sorrow, and My Curse!!! Also when Howard joined Killswitch, he replaced the original singer Jesse Leach who is now back with them! Currently though, Howard is actually touring with Killswitch!!! I saw their show in Detroit a couple weeks back and it was fantastic to hear him singing Rose Of Sharyn and End Of Heartache again! Arms of Sorrow is my personal favorite. Howard's vocals on that song are amazing!!!!
Killswitch is such a great band. I personally love Last Serenade. If you want to try something different, check out Hero of War by Rise Against. Fitting for now and a really good song, just bring a whole box of kleenex.
My Last Serenade was the first song I heard from them with Jesse and then I grew up with Howard and Jesse came back seamlessly for me. I can't get enough of this band!
Several people have said it before, but I'm gonna repeat it, just to be sure. Please check out pretty much anything from their live DVD 'Set This World Ablaze'. I can't even count the amount of times I watched that DVD. It's by far my favourite DVD ever.
2019? nah this was released in 2004. i was listening to this when I went to high school. Around the time i graduated in '08 Howard left Killswitch to pursue other projects
You say you're interested to hear some Jesse Leach Killswitch? I recommend Just Barely Breathing from their pre-Howard album "Alive or Just Breathing?" It's basically never reacted to, and also a seriously awesome song that kind of *the* song of the album (you know how every album has that one song that represents the whole thing? That's this!) Or Temple From The Within - another absolute banger from their debut self-titled album. Really shows off Jesse's ability to scream! ... Or you could be boring and do My Last Serenade or The Signal Fire like literally everybody else reacts to. ;P
Check out one of Howard's first bands. Blood Has Been Shed. I recommend the song "she speaks to me". The chorus at the end is great. Also "Uatu" is another good one.
If youre looking for something interesting to react to i would highly suggest looking into pretty much anything by Twelve Foot Ninja. They are a self-proclaimed "whatever-the-fuck-we-wantcore" band and they are a ton of fun to listen to. Id recommend the songs "Sick" and "One Hand Killing" if youre interested.
Check out Signal Fire by KSE, you can check out the other vocalist Jessie, you should also see some of Howard’s live performances as this guy is unreal, he is just as good live as on his albums- also I think you would love some Canadian Content of Protest The Hero - anything off their last couple of records- Roddy has unbelievable range.
Hey Charis you should give "the arms of sorrow " by Killswitch engage a shot. The song highlights Howard's clean voice and has his screams underneath it. I know you'll simp for it cause I always do lol
I forgot killswitch would make 2 different versions of their songs where one has more prominent harsh vocals. beautiful song but you can imagine my disappointment when i didnt get my beautiful YEAH! at the beginning of the song.
@@CharisSellick Some same, it's why there's so many of us. Sadly, in my case it may be due someone far up my family tree, attempting to shake the Law by adopting the rather common surname ... at least, that's what Uncle LongShanks told all of us kids.
@@CharisSellick .... uuuf.. even reading between the lines and making shizz up, I can't figure this one out. OH WAIT... Magnum PI... Tom was YOUR uncle?!!?!1!11 I thought he spent all his $$ and had to start selling reverb-mortgages to make ends meet. Damn.. well, at least you got on rich relative.(Tru Fact: apparently I'm related to the Coleman fambily, as in Coleman camping gear... we all laugh that we have a palette full of propane waiting for each of us in Coleman County Tx... not that I'm ever gonna go there. I'd dry out ... un-moving oregon moss-head here.) You keep being you, Ms Charis. You brighten my day.
Please, please, please! Do a reaction to Ladybaby - Nippon Manju, but try to not look too closely at the thumbnail when you click the video as it'll spoil some of the surprise.
I feel as though I should mention that Within Temptation did two collab songs you may be interested in.... one with one of the lead singers from nightlight, and one with... you guessed it.... Yo Boi Howard Jones
You can get browser add-ons that remove the end cards of videos, but appear when you mouse over the video. Best of both worlds. I personally hate the end cards.
New Howard Jones Reaction: th-cam.com/video/njbd7EVQe-Y/w-d-xo.html
The album version has more screaming which is the version I prefer but this is still great.
I did think this needed a little more scream
This version I feel like does a disservice to the original version, this is the cleaner version for I think a movie (I think a resident evil movie or something)
@@CharisSellick This version is the music video version it's been chopped & shortened and it f#%ks up the flow of the album version
Idk I like this version for specifically that reason. Less emo-screamo, more actual music.
@@ultragunnervb it was the second one, Resident Evil Apocalypse. Not a great movie, but a fantastic soundtrack.
This song holds a special place in my heart. Thank you for listening to it.
There are actually several versions of this song. I believe this one is the radio version. There is another version that the screaming is considerably more in the forefront. Both versions are great.
Ahhh old school Howard. You're definitely in for a treat. My Curse is such a good song.
Yes! I’ve been hoping you’d get to Howard era Killswitch. Great starting point, also. If you’re wanting to continue on I’d recommend Rose of Sharyn. Awesome song and a cool music video. And there are some live versions if that is more your style. Awesome reaction!
Was it Howard or Jesse that sung on My Last Serenade
Ah...memories of the Resident Evil: Apocalypse OST come flooding back.
Howard's voice is outstanding and nostalgic at its finest
Charis, your love of Howard/killswitch & the fact that you've done a reaction for Avenged Sevenfold leads me to the very necessary question of "Have you heard any Bullet For My Valentine or Trivium?"

Killswitch and Howard had something magical together
Love your appreciation. Thank you for giving more light to this genius!
Hope you’re having a amazing day. Amazing reaction as always. Congratulations on 11,000 subscribers
Thank you!
You’re welcome
I'm sure it's all over the comments, but you're doing yourself a great disservice by hearing the music video version. Its edits out all of Howard's amazing screams.

This song will always have its place cemented in my heart. I feel some much with the melodies and vocal ranges as if it’s really speaking to me🤍
Highlight of the atonment tour this year with Light The Torch and Killswitch was hearing Jesse and Howard sing this and Signal Fire together
I used to play bass guitar in a band that did this song. It was always one of my favorites in our set. So much fun to jam out to.

Thanks dude, Howard is my GUY

The song (and its album) released in May 2004, about 6 months before the 2nd Battle of Fallujah.
Hi, from Puerto Rico love it i AM a huge fan of killswitch
Howard can do no wrong. Great reaction! Liked and subbed. My Curse or Rose Of Sharyn next, plz!
This is absolution is a must❤️
Rose of Sharyn and My Curse are awesome songs!
Howard’s vocals and Adam’s incredible guitar skills is an insane combo.
Now it’s not Howard, but instead Adam, but I cannot recommend enough would be Times of Grace.

You disappeared from my YT feed. They tried to hide this gem from me🤘🤘 Hope you doing good oh and more Slipknot!
Howard is a amazing singer
About time, but you should really react to My Curse by Killswitch Engage. It showcases Howard's amazing vocal abilities.
If you choose to, please react to this version, the original version: th-cam.com/video/cBADGsnbgYQ/w-d-xo.html
The screams overlap his clean vocals which is good, so you could pretty much hear both.
Check out Rose Of Sharyn, Arms Of Sorrow, and My Curse!!! Also when Howard joined Killswitch, he replaced the original singer Jesse Leach who is now back with them! Currently though, Howard is actually touring with Killswitch!!! I saw their show in Detroit a couple weeks back and it was fantastic to hear him singing Rose Of Sharyn and End Of Heartache again!
Arms of Sorrow is my personal favorite. Howard's vocals on that song are amazing!!!!
the transition was done for the movie resident evil, this song was nominated for a grammy in 2010.
End of Heartache album was 2004. 2009 is just when it was uploaded to TH-cam
Killswitch is such a great band. I personally love Last Serenade.
If you want to try something different, check out Hero of War by Rise Against. Fitting for now and a really good song, just bring a whole box of kleenex.

I can't even count the amount of times I watched that DVD. It's by far my favourite DVD ever.
Do check out Fixation of Darkness by them too. Howard's clean vocals are something else.
I love Howard, his vocals are incredible.
Yesssss she’s on the Killswitch Brigade! 🤘🏻
2019? nah this was released in 2004. i was listening to this when I went to high school. Around the time i graduated in '08 Howard left Killswitch to pursue other projects
Before he was in killswitch, howard was in 'blood has been shed' on ferret records
Howard is easily my favorite vocalist. His voice just gets better older he gets.
Howard Fine Wine Jones
@@CharisSellick nice 🤌
Adam was on Price is Right and won the show case showdown
You definitely should check out some Trivium. I promise you won't be disappointed!
In Waves is awesome
Aww this is the radio version. The album version has his growls in the forefront. Way better in my opinion.
Am I the only person who loves The Arms Of Sorrow
I think I got stuck in the triangle 😖. Subbed ❤️
You say you're interested to hear some Jesse Leach Killswitch?

0:04 epic,you´re amazing
Howard the GOAT!
I could listen to this chicks speaking voice all day.
Please, more KSE with Howard! Love to see your Howard reactions :P
Recommendation - the signal fire, killswitch engage
My Curse was the first KE song I heard, thanks to Guitar Hero 3....it's pretty killer. I'd check that one out.
I highly recommend Sinister-Leviathan. Heavy and brutal!
Check out one of Howard's first bands. Blood Has Been Shed. I recommend the song "she speaks to me". The chorus at the end is great. Also "Uatu" is another good one.
You love Light The Torch, Wilting In The Light. Just saying💪🏽🤙🏽
Could you please do "Arms of Sorrow" (official video)by Killswitch Engage. It's one of favorite Howard Jones vocals.
Howard actually sang Opera as well but I mean it not hard to hear but there is quite a few metal singers that sang Opera as well
I am obsessed with Howard Jones as well. Please listen to Sion's "the worst way" and "inside the hollow"
love your humor lol
If youre looking for something interesting to react to i would highly suggest looking into pretty much anything by Twelve Foot Ninja. They are a self-proclaimed "whatever-the-fuck-we-wantcore" band and they are a ton of fun to listen to. Id recommend the songs "Sick" and "One Hand Killing" if youre interested.
love
The signal fire has both howard and jesse on it.
Finally!
You should do this song again but with the album version, way heavier than this watered down version
Howard all day everyday I will always be here for that or Jinjer lol peace from Stan the Alaskan
You should check out Blood Has Been Shed. It's the band Howard Jones and Justin Foley were both in before they joined Killswitch Engage.
Ohh, golden times of KsE with Howard Jones, love this song, love you aswell #duckteam
You might want to check out Within Temptation - Dangerous (Feat. Howard Jones) off of their Hydra album
Killswitch engage, the signal fire
Check out Signal Fire by KSE, you can check out the other vocalist Jessie, you should also see some of Howard’s live performances as this guy is unreal, he is just as good live as on his albums- also I think you would love some Canadian Content of Protest The Hero - anything off their last couple of records- Roddy has unbelievable range.
Just do a Killswitch month already! My Curse, Holy Diver, Unleashed, I Can't Be The Only One, The Signal Fire....
Hey Charis you should give "the arms of sorrow " by Killswitch engage a shot. The song highlights Howard's clean voice and has his screams underneath it. I know you'll simp for it cause I always do lol
you should listen to the full version since for the video clip they cut up to a minute of the original song
Please do The Signal Fire.
Gangsta daddy woohoo kill switch is amazing and yes we know you love Howard
🥰
this song is one of the OST of Resident Evil apocalypse
.
2004 if I'm not mistaken when the song came out
Some of the other best KSE songs with Howard are the rose of sharyn, arms of sorrow, my curse, & holy diver
Good luck this coming week, Theatre Kid ;-)
❤️❤️❤️
I forgot killswitch would make 2 different versions of their songs where one has more prominent harsh vocals. beautiful song but you can imagine my disappointment when i didnt get my beautiful YEAH! at the beginning of the song.
Killswitch Engage, arms of sorrow
All us Jones' are the best at what we put our minds to, lol.

Devil you know is Light the Torch , some kind of copyright BS happened so don't miss those jams
Please react to killswitch engage - Break the silence, another great song by Howard
KSE….signal fire! God I love that song!!!
This was also a resident evil song
Their cover of “Holy Diver” is good
I recommend you listen to the studio version of this song. this is the soft version from resident of evil soundtrack
Please, please, please! Do a reaction to Ladybaby - Nippon Manju, but try to not look too closely at the thumbnail when you click the video as it'll spoil some of the surprise.

The lyrics 😩💯
