Hey Pastor Rob! It's awesome to see killswitch getting so much attention lately. These guys were my bridge between Metal and my spirituality and it came at a time that was so crucial to who I am as a person. Jesse, the original and now current vocalist, is a very spiritually passionate Christian who spreads the message of positivity without letting his beliefs affect his relationship with his non Christian followers, much like you. I appreciate these guys so much, you should take the time to visit their first album "Alive or just Breathing" and the side project of Jesse and Adam D. (the guitarist and producer) "Times of Grace" which is much more religiously expressive. Take care you guys! Love you and the fam ❤️
Really? Last I'd read, Jesse supposedly considered himself "Spiritual" but felt the "Christian idea" of God was far too uncaring and judgmental. If that's changed though, praise God!
@@swolf712 I've always known him to be very much a Christian with a history of struggles with mainstream practice. He's the son of a preacher but has worn the cross around his neck since the beginning of Kse. He doesn't preach so it's easy to miss but his message is clear.
@@swolf712 " I no longer call myself a Christian or subscribe to an organized religion. It’s been years in the making, of just not needing to have a label" so yeah, you're right in a basic sense but I have gone through the transition that he has and I still consider myself to have very Christian ethics.
Killswitch is something special. They are as heavy as you could ever want, yet the lyrics are often uplifting and inspiring. Extremely technical music as well. Plus, Howard Jones has a range and power rarely matched ( Jesse leach is extremely worthy too however) This will always be my favorite track of theirs, that sadly doesnt get alot of attention. Its a masterpiece and that interlude? Cant touch it
Music critics usually call this era "the new wave of American heavy metal". I would say that Killswitch is the one metalcore band from this era who achieved mainstream success.
I love killswitch I know they never claimed to be a Christian band a lot of their songs have super positive uplifting messages and if you didn't know any better you'd think man this is a dope Christian metal band
KSE delivers many positive messages in their music. And I love the Howard Jones era of this band. Jesse Leach is an amazing front man as well but Howard is something special.
agree. Jesse writes amazing lyrics but unfortunately, he is no longer a christian and it showed in the last times of grace record. The lyrics were no longer that good. And I do not mean that is the case for every writer that left christianity but it is in his case.
@@Revan-eb1wb the lyrics are honest and still have a ton of value. Just because something isn’t aligned with your personal faith doesn’t mean it’s “worse”. Not to mention that Jesse still believes in God, it’s more the people and social aspect of religion that drew him away from the title of “Christian”.
Check out desperate times that one gives me chills especially when Howard says the line but your voice means more to me then you'll ever know that sounds like a cry to a higher power to me again I could be wrong but honestly kse has got me through some dark times and I believe God used them to reach me
I feel the same exact way. This band is so relatable to the Christian experience. No other band brings me closer to God. Killswitch is being used by god.
If you want more Killswitch Engage, "When Darkness Falls" is the song to go with. It's heavy, melodic, and has very deep lyrics just like this song. I also request the new Demon Hunter song, "Freedom is Dead "
I've been into Killswitch Engage since the The End Of Heartache album came out. My sister actually introduced me to them. Great and talented band! I got to meet them at Ozzfest 2005 in Phoenix, Arizona and they signed my poster of them. Really cool and down to earth guys! God Bless!
@@frenchtoast2319 Yeah that was actually my last Ozzfest due to I was almost crushed because of mosh pits forming when Mudvayne was performing. And I wasn't trying to get involved and was just there for the music. So meeting the guys of K.E. was the only bright spot besides Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath of course. It was so packed and bleeding hot, as well waaaay too many people there. We were literally like a herd of cattle. We're talking the beginning of August which is one of the hottest months down here in the Phoenix metro area.
@@atranfanatic yeah i went to that same ozzfest but in california. Was iron maiden talking shit about ozzy? He said some mean things about him and sharon in california. It was hard to tell if it was the whole terms of endearment you see in metal or if they were actually pissed.
@@frenchtoast2319 What I read is that Sharon pulled the plug on Iron Maiden at one show years back. And of course it didn't help Sharon's reputation much, especially with Iron Maiden and their fans. I have always loved Ozzy, but absolutely can't stand Sharon. With all that said, I really can't recall if they talked crap about Ozzy or Sharon that night. There was too much going on that day and night. lol
@@atranfanatic yeah i can't stand her either lol. I feel like she contributed to his bumbling nature. Also his kids are horid lol. That year he played with zack wilde right? I saw the ozzfest before or after that one but cant remember which lol. Im pretty sure 2006 was black sabbath. I was in highschool, and had my first mosh pit with behemoth lol.
Howard Jones, with 1 of the greatest voices in modern day Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal! Absolutely love KSE!!! They show that you can be a secular band and write meaningful lyrics, and not have to use vulgar language to get their point across!!
Almost all of their songs have a positive meaning behind them. I wish I had understood that when I was a teenager. Maybe then I would have cared about something other then drinking/ drugs. Music had an extremely strong influence on me, and it still does to this day now that I'm 36.
Maybe you make one reaction on War of Ages. Their drummer go to Heaven next day ago. RIP and see you in heavens, Kaleb!I think it would be cool to honor his life and service to God with a reaction to his band's track. tep more War of Ages that deserve attention and they have not yet been on this channel
Kaleb was a good friend of mine. Played many shows with him in local bands before he joined War of Ages and The Burial, and he was just the most talented and nice guy. We'll miss him dearly.
A couple more great Killswitch Engage songs "The Element of One" from their first album with original singer Jesse or " Take this Oath" from the same album as "Reject Yourself"
Pastor Rob and Gauge, You guys seriously have no idea how happy I was when I saw the title of this video!! This is one I requested and it’s awesome to see you guys react to it thank you!!
One of the best ALBUMS EVER! Like Forreal! Do more of this album and find out real quick. Complete band. The more you hear them the more you pick up the background accents that take their music to a whole new level
I have been a huge fan of Killswitch Engage. They got me through several deployments, lots of nights and weekends at the shop. Not too sure how closely they can be tied to Christianity, but then again, not everything I listen to is church ready music. In Flames, KillSwitch Engage, Volbeat, Muse, Deftones, and The Mighty Mighty Bostones were always on my playlist for Deployments.
Both vocalists were/are Christians (the original and current vocalist has been struggling with his faith lately, though), their lead guitarist is a non-churchgoing Christian (despite his foul-mouthed demeanor in live shows) and their other guitarist is from a Christian background. They definitely have Christian roots at the very least and the lyrics are EASILY interpreted from our perspective which is awesome.
Killswitch Engage is my favorite band! In this song, Adam D (guitarist) is the first clean vocalist you hear (tear down the veil...), and Howard (vocalist) sings the chorus (with open arms...). Howard left in 2011 because of his diabetes, and Jesse Leach, the original vocalist, rejoined. The song "As Sure As The Sun Will Rise" off Atonement will get you guys pumped as well, and I'd definitely recommend it!
Absolutely one of my favorite KSE songs! Funny enough, I was JUST listening to this album earlier in the shower haha. Check out "The Element of One", "Embrace the Journey... Upraised" and "For You" if you want some of their most overtly Christian-themed lyrics. Also, definitely take a look at Times of Grace's work as that's a side project of the original (and current) vocalist and the lead guitarist of KSE; all of their work is more openly about faith and divinity, which is really appealing to me! Both of their vocalists are/were believers (the original/current vocalist is struggling with his faith though) and the lead guitarist, while very foul-mouthed and goofy live, is a non-churchgoing believer himself. Their other guitarist also has a Christian background from what I recall. If/when you listen to their discography, the Christian roots will be VERY apparent haha Oh, and addressing the genre thing: KSE is one of the forefathers of metalcore so they're definitely one of the closest bands to the original blend of melodic death metal and hardcore punk (especially apparent on their first two albums). Meanwhile, a band like Silent Planet is considered to be progressive metalcore that leaned into djent for their first EP, then went into post-hardcore (basically a much more melodic metalcore) territory for their first two albums, and their third album until now has just been straight up progressive metalcore. There are a lot of different subgenres of metal but I'd say metalcore definitely has the highest amount of subgenres out there. Also, KSE is one of the very few pioneers of metalcore that didn't get softer or poppier. I mean, TECHNICALLY they added more emotional/melodic stuff with their third album (The End of Heartache) but overall, every one of their albums has plenty of heavy moments mixed with beautiful moments and it's what makes them my favorite of the old school metalcore scene by far.
Killswitch's album "The End of Heartache" which came out in 2004, to me is one of the greatest "Metalcore" albums of all time. Def need to check out that album ... Rose of Sharyn. A Bid Farewell, As Darkness Falls and The End of Heartache are some songs to check out from that album.
The Signal Fire is the song you did before with both lead singers. Glad to see y'all reacting to my favorite band again. You could react to any song and I'll be happy. lol Thanks for the reaction fellas!
I have been watching you guys for years and I just wanna say praise God for spiritual leaders like you. I have been a medical junkie for years as well as a continuing learning Christian. I find it absolutely fantastic that you can take a genre of music that is so persecuted and listen and explain and bring positivity out of it. I look forward to every new video in the lyrical breakdowns and the message you put behind it in the scriptures that you recite to reinforce your message and God‘s word. I actually feel blessed with who I am in the fact that I am a huge metalhead and have learned from you guys how to start breaking down lyrics in discerning the messages in the meanings behind things. Thank you Pastor Rob engage keep doing what you’re doing keep the good fight.
My apologies, stupid speech to text getting things wrong. I am legally blind so I use that technology a lot. I meant to say Metalcore junkie not Medical junkie lol.
I think you guys would really like Light In a Darkened World, Starting Over, and I Would Do Anything. All three from their self titled album which got me through a really dark time of battling adhd anxiety and depression
There’s so many amazing KSE songs. One of their newest is called the signal fire and has a somewhat similar message and is just a great song featuring both of the singers the band has had over the years.
Always great watching the two of you dive into another song! Should you want more KSE, I'd recommend "I Can't Be The Only One", "A Light In A Darkened World", and one of my personal favorites, "This Is Absolution". All 3 of these songs have an amazing blend of heavy & melodic guitar, with amazing vocals to complement it!
Pastor, you should review "desperate times" too, from the same album of "reject yourself". Also, thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Regards from Brazil.
If you liked this song then you have to check out Any Given Day, Savior is a really good song and would be interesting to see your an alysis of the song
You should really check out Protest The Hero, similar but more advanced guitars, and great high range vocals. Hard to say one song, but Mist has always been a favorite, it's about their love for the people of a small Canadian island called Newfoundland and the warm reception and love they got when they played there.
This is Howard at his best...this album is brutal. If you guys want some killer vocals and sic breakdowns, check out Devil Wears Prada. Anything off 'Zombie EP' '8:18' 'The Act' thanks guys God Bless....PS, check out Howards new project Light The Torch. Very uplifting lyrics and awesome messages. The song 'Safety Of Disbelief' is a powerful song. Thanks again guys love your channel and your breakdowns/messages.
Yeah, you really need to do some In Flames. Seeing them next month in Minneapolis. One of my favorite live acts and I think so many of their songs make me reflect on my faith, even though I know that is not their direct intention
I will always remember seeing KE at ozzfest at shoreline amphitheater. Its an outdoor venue with the stage at the bottom of a hill. At the top of the hill, between songs, Adam D pointed out a dude on horseback just outside the venue on the top of the hill and he shouted "thats fuckin' metal!"
I just discovered you guys recently, and I appreciate what you do in picking apart songs musically and lyrically. Memphis Mayfire is good reaction material. "Death Inside" is a song i would suggest for you guys.
You should check out the band Times of Grace, the song Hope Remains from the album The Hymns of a Broken Man. This band is a spinoff of Killswitch featuring Jesse Leach (singer) and Adam Dutkiewicz (guitars). Adam wrote this album while mending from a serious back injury and if I'm not mistaken plays all the instrumentation on the record.
I love the reactions that y’all have to this music. I would love to see Save me by killswitch engage. Also on the slower end of the rock spectrum you should react to in loving memory by Alter bridge. Its a beautiful song and really captures the loss of a loved one and tells the story how they still live on. I lost my sister a year ago unexpectedly and that song has helped me through so much. I would love to see a reaction by y’all someday of that. Thank you both for everything and keep the light shining on these beautiful songs.
I'd love for you guys to review a My Epic song, such as "Of Wilderness" or "Bad Accent". They're Christian rock with some messages that are VERY relevant to just about everyone.
Please do a reaction to Hickory Creek by whitechapel. It’s from the Valley album and it’s a super deep and emotional song. Beautifully written and amazing lyrics
I would also like to add that a lot of people say that this band is the most christian-like band without being christian. They have a ton of positive songs.
Great to see you guys in the sub box again! As far as KSE goes, I'd love to see your reactions to Darkness Falls, This Is Absolution, I Can't Be The Only One, and The Signal Fire. The latter has Jesse and Howard, both vocalists, dueting. Heck of a track. And, as always, I am always down to see you guys break down more Wolves at the Gate. 👀 (Especially their newest album. SO good.)
You should try “end of heartache “ and the latest songs are impressive. Also check TH-cam colabs with the original singer. Amazing vocalist and musician

Possibly my all time favorite metal core album
Amazing album! One of my favorites is An Ocean Between Us by As I Lay Dying
@@Dyerdrummer another banger!

KSE delivers many positive messages in their music. And I love the Howard Jones era of this band. Jesse Leach is an amazing front man as well but Howard is something special.
howard is currently touring with them and makes guest appearances now and again
Howard’s soaring vocals IS Killswitch to me. Such a powerful voice.

Their vocal transitions mixed with the extremely well time instrumentals is one of the things that make this band great!
This song pushed me through the rough times of being an early teen. This whole album is what I listen to when I need a push to help myself go on
when darkness falls is pretty awesome
Check out desperate times that one gives me chills especially when Howard says the line but your voice means more to me then you'll ever know that sounds like a cry to a higher power to me again I could be wrong but honestly kse has got me through some dark times and I believe God used them to reach me

When Adam D comes in with the clean vocals 😮 KillSwitchEngage has been my favorites band for a long time. Listen to the first (Times of Graces) album
I wish they'd react to The Burden of Disbelief from the second album.
Continued prayers for your wife and your family. Thank you for these videos.
Killswitch Engage is extremely positive in their lyrics. This song is a good snapshot example.
My favorite is This is Absolution.
It's been a minute.. forgot how much I love pastor Rob
Ahhh a blast from 2007 I friggin love this album and BFMV's Scream Aim Fire from the same year love them both
Howard Jones, with 1 of the greatest voices in modern day Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal! Absolutely love KSE!!! They show that you can be a secular band and write meaningful lyrics, and not have to use vulgar language to get their point across!!

"Rose of Sharyn" by this band will blow your socks off and the lyrics are
It's about how to create change, it starts with one.
Maybe you make one reaction on War of Ages. Their drummer go to Heaven next day ago.
RIP and see you in heavens, Kaleb!I think it would be cool to honor his life and service to God with a reaction to his band's track. tep more War of Ages that deserve attention and they have not yet been on this channel
Oh i recommend their new EP Rhema, track called Sleigh to Hands
Collapse is my favorite song by them
Kaleb was a good friend of mine. Played many shows with him in local bands before he joined War of Ages and The Burial, and he was just the most talented and nice guy. We'll miss him dearly.
this is one of my go to channels.. keep up the great content Rob...
Thank you!
A couple more great Killswitch Engage songs "The Element of One" from their first album with original singer Jesse or " Take this Oath" from the same album as "Reject Yourself"
Wow, this is kind of a deep cut tbh. Love the song though, so I definitely recommend more like it
Pastor Rob and Gauge,
You guys seriously have no idea how happy I was when I saw the title of this video!!
This is one I requested and it’s awesome to see you guys react to it thank you!!
Just an absolutely brilliant album,
Killswitch engage always with good messages,
This song is special to me. One of the most if not the most underrated song by them.
One of the best ALBUMS EVER! Like Forreal! Do more of this album and find out real quick. Complete band. The more you hear them the more you pick up the background accents that take their music to a whole new level
The outro of this song gives me goosebumps every time.
I have been a huge fan of Killswitch Engage. They got me through several deployments, lots of nights and weekends at the shop. Not too sure how closely they can be tied to Christianity, but then again, not everything I listen to is church ready music. In Flames, KillSwitch Engage, Volbeat, Muse, Deftones, and The Mighty Mighty Bostones were always on my playlist for Deployments.
Both vocalists were/are Christians (the original and current vocalist has been struggling with his faith lately, though), their lead guitarist is a non-churchgoing Christian (despite his foul-mouthed demeanor in live shows) and their other guitarist is from a Christian background. They definitely have Christian roots at the very least and the lyrics are EASILY interpreted from our perspective which is awesome.
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.
1 Timothy 2:1
When Darkness Falls is another one you should check out for the lyrical content. Actually they have so many songs that are super positive
Love watching your older videos and then coming upon this one and Rob's beard is longer and clearly has more experience with metal 😆
I recommend Killswitch Engage - The Element of One
It's from their album Alive or Just Breathing, such an underrated song and one of my favorites!
Killswitch Engage is my favorite band! In this song, Adam D (guitarist) is the first clean vocalist you hear (tear down the veil...), and Howard (vocalist) sings the chorus (with open arms...).

Killswitch engage has some of the best outros ive ever heard!
Reacting to anything Oh, Sleeper would be awesome!! A staple of mine through high school.
Killswitch Engage is amazing.all their stuff is top notch and very positive.my all time favorite band!
Absolutely one of my favorite KSE songs! Funny enough, I was JUST listening to this album earlier in the shower haha. Check out "The Element of One", "Embrace the Journey...

Seen these guys live they are awesome! Probably an all time great band on my list. As someone's suggested Rose of Sharyn is a must.
Moshed in a small club during end of heartache album introduced my gf to metal been together since then. Fav band.
Also what they do well is speak positivity and when you mix that with HEAVY music...man! It's powerful!
Killswitch's album "The End of Heartache" which came out in 2004, to me is one of the greatest "Metalcore" albums of all time. Def need to check out that album ... Rose of Sharyn. A Bid Farewell, As Darkness Falls and The End of Heartache are some songs to check out from that album.
One of my favorite Killswitch Engange albums. Also my first one I owned. Owned it when it first came out.
Thank you for doing this. Praying for your family. God's got you.
I would really like to reccomend "A light in a darkened world" It specifically quotes Joshua "Now choose this day who you will serve"
All We Have is about the importance of forgiveness.
The Signal Fire is the song you did before with both lead singers. Glad to see y'all reacting to my favorite band again. You could react to any song and I'll be happy. lol Thanks for the reaction fellas!
the song is overused. I rather have them analyize some times of grace songs from hymn of the broken man

I can’t be the only one is a newer and amazing song. I think you guys would love it. Keep it up
I've loved KSE for a long time. This song is a favorite. The message in their songs is often very good as well.
I think you guys would really like Light In a Darkened World, Starting Over, and I Would Do Anything. All three from their self titled album which got me through a really dark time of battling adhd anxiety and depression
This is entire album from start to finish is a roller coaster if emtions
There is the side project from Jesse and Adam from killswitch engage called Times Of Grace… AMAZINGGG.
Good ol' days of Howard Jones on vocals and the excellent writing/production of Adam D as always. Fun to watch you guys!
I’m a big Killswitch fan, so many of their songs have messaging that sounds very Christian to me.
In flames is unreal. Evil in a closet and Quiet place
YES, they played this song for the first time ever live this year and this reaction
You guys should react to more songs off of this album! For You and Still Beats Your Name would be great picks.
Good to see yall back!

Hard to say one song, but Mist has always been a favorite, it's about their love for the people of a small Canadian island called Newfoundland and the warm reception and love they got when they played there.
Rain can’t put out In Flames!!! 🔥
This is Howard at his best...this album is brutal. If you guys want some killer vocals and sic breakdowns, check out Devil Wears Prada. Anything off 'Zombie EP' '8:18' 'The Act' thanks guys God Bless....PS, check out Howards new project Light The Torch. Very uplifting lyrics and awesome messages. The song 'Safety Of Disbelief' is a powerful song. Thanks again guys love your channel and your breakdowns/messages.
This song was amazing !! I will definitely be looking into this band !
More KSE from you guys Please. Love seeing it.
love the Dad jokes. cracks me up
This is my favourite Kills witch engage track and a great introduction to the band.
“This Fire” from the same record is so good!
"is that end?"
*Adam's cheesey ass smile*
Just listen to their album Alive or Just Breathing and you will be blown away! Musically and Lyrically!
I absolutely love playing this song on the guitar it is such a fun riff to play
Yeah, you really need to do some In Flames. Seeing them next month in Minneapolis. One of my favorite live acts and I think so many of their songs make me reflect on my faith, even though I know that is not their direct intention
I will always remember seeing KE at ozzfest at shoreline amphitheater. Its an outdoor venue with the stage at the bottom of a hill. At the top of the hill, between songs, Adam D pointed out a dude on horseback just outside the venue on the top of the hill and he shouted "thats fuckin' metal!"
I just discovered you guys recently, and I appreciate what you do in picking apart songs musically and lyrically. Memphis Mayfire is good reaction material. "Death Inside" is a song i would suggest for you guys.
You should check out the band Times of Grace, the song Hope Remains from the album The Hymns of a Broken Man. This band is a spinoff of Killswitch featuring Jesse Leach (singer) and Adam Dutkiewicz (guitars). Adam wrote this album while mending from a serious back injury and if I'm not mistaken plays all the instrumentation on the record.
Loving these weekly drops!
Inflames just released a new song The Great Deceiver and it's kind of a throwback to their older stuff.
One of my favorite KSE songs for sure. Sweet reaction!
This is Absolution off this same album….amazing
I love the reactions that y’all have to this music. I would love to see Save me by killswitch engage. Also on the slower end of the rock spectrum you should react to in loving memory by Alter bridge. Its a beautiful song and really captures the loss of a loved one and tells the story how they still live on. I lost my sister a year ago unexpectedly and that song has helped me through so much. I would love to see a reaction by y’all someday of that. Thank you both for everything and keep the light shining on these beautiful songs.
I'd love for you guys to review a My Epic song, such as "Of Wilderness" or "Bad Accent". They're Christian rock with some messages that are VERY relevant to just about everyone.
lettss goooooo love your content
This is a good song by them. I love watching your channel guys.
I really wanna listen to these discussions in podcast format for my drive. Hoping you get into it eventually!
Please do a reaction to Hickory Creek by whitechapel. It’s from the Valley album and it’s a super deep and emotional song. Beautifully written and amazing lyrics
I would also like to add that a lot of people say that this band is the most christian-like band without being christian. They have a ton of positive songs.
Next
1. Daylight Dies
2. Break The Silence
Great to see you guys in the sub box again!
As far as KSE goes, I'd love to see your reactions to Darkness Falls, This Is Absolution, I Can't Be The Only One, and The Signal Fire. The latter has Jesse and Howard, both vocalists, dueting. Heck of a track.
And, as always, I am always down to see you guys break down more Wolves at the Gate. 👀 (Especially their newest album. SO good.)
You should try “end of heartache “ and the latest songs are impressive. Also check TH-cam colabs with the original singer. Amazing vocalist and musician
I would LOVE to see you guys do He Is by Ghost
I saw In Flames on the tour with Megadeth, lamb of god, and Trivium. They were good. They would be a good choice for a video.
