BEST METAL BAND (and album) of this millenium

SO where do I start....after only getting into heavy metal just a year and a half ago, I have to say I love it, its my favorite type of rock but ask people what are there favorite metal bands they say, Slipknot, Meshuggah, Slayer, BLS, Metallica etc all bands I LOVE and Metallica and Slipknot being one of my favorites but theres a monster that unleashes in one particular band everytime i listen to the albums. That band is KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, from there very first album to now there newest, End Of Heartache, i strongly agree that KSE is one of the best metal bands out there like Adam Dutkiewicz says (guitarist) "Metal is growing up, i hate to say it, but it is and we are right there growing up with it". THE END OF HEARTACHE brings rythm, melody, awesome guitaring by two of the most motivated guitarists in metal and this album is still assaulting, brutal and hardcore from start to finish. After see Killswitch in concert just a month ago, what they have in there albums, they bring it all to a show like a great band should.

second disk is great added bonus

this c.d. is awesome. i'm beginning to get more and more fond of these guys as they continue to release new material. the end of heartache is a rockin album, but to top it all off, in this edition it comes with a bonus disk. a live version of life to lifeless is on there, as well as a few other kick as$ killswitch tracks (live versions). plus, the video for end of heartache is watchable, depending on if you like the song. i'd give this a 4 with or without the extras though. just about every song on the cd rocks... check it out for yourself.

What a waste...

Ok, when I first got this I was excited because I love KsE with a passion. I was excited because there were live tracks, and they're Roadrunner live tracks so we know they're good quality. That's the only bonus to the album. The two 'unreleased' tracks, Irreversal and My Life For Yours, have been on the internet since the original was released. If you don't own the original already, get this one definately. However, if you already own the original, there is no reason to buy this one unless you're like me and have to have it all...
