Always perhaps should have been the track to bring it all to an atmospheric and enigmatic close, but Killswitch Engage just can’t resist throwing one more melodically aggressive monster at you as they bring the album to a superb close. Yep, there’s something for everyone to enjoy right here on this album in some shape or form, particularly as the album closes out.

You Don’t Bleed for Me has a brilliant acoustic middle before it breaks down into some grinding guitar work backed by machine gun drumming all the while undercut with soaring melodic vocal lines before charging into the brutality of The Call. New Awakening for example has some HUGE riffs and its brutal anger is sure to be a real crowd pleaser, while In Due Time switches to an almost commercial driving rock track at times that just owns. The album has superb progessive undertones running throughout as each track leads the listener on a merry dance of melodic brutality, switching at ease between driving guitar work and aggressive vocals to soaring choruses backed with harmonious vocal work. Waspish, melodic and brutally aggressive guitar tones in places backed by tremendous contrasting vocal work from Jesse Leach who has, unsurprisingly, slipped effortlessly back into his KsE frontman role. So speak Killswitch Engage on their Facebook page and they proceed to back that up with an album that all fans of KsE will, I’m absolutely sure, adore.

For their upcoming sixth album, Massachusetts metal pioneers Killswitch Engage reunited with original singer Jesse Leach, whose vocals and lyrics on 2002’s landmark Alive or Just Breathing are fan-favorite qualities and part of what helped put KsE on the map as one of the most important bands of the ’00s metal revival. Sometimes, a much-loved and highly successful band needs to shake things up a bit to keep things fresh and interesting for their fans and for themselves, all the while retaining the signature sonic hallmarks that have defined their sound.
