With The End of Heartache, the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß standard has been pushed aside. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ Trampled.

"I got a wicked ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ farmer's tan and was drunk by noon ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² most days. The response was so good, it ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß was stupid!" "You never get used to the ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ fans chanting, it's amazing and ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² embarrassing at the same time," new ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý vocalist Howard Jones relays with Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß genuine humility. "You just want to call ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß your Mom and be like, 'Listen!'" ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² Alive or Just Breathing, the band's ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ Roadrunner debut was called, "more ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² addictive than crack cocaine thats been ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß smothered in nicotine AND drenched with ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ chocolate by CMJ New Music Report and was ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² a signpost on the bands musical journey ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý toward their third release, The End of Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß Heartache. The high-flying guitar ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß histrionics and unbridled rage on Alives ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ track, My Last Serenade was balanced by ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² soaring choruses and a clear handle on ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ melody that the band takes steps ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² further on the new album. ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ The title track is an unabashed monster ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² of a song, different than anything the ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý band has ever written. Its epic drive Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß nearly crosses the border into ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß power-ballad territory. "Rose of Sharyn" ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ is an anthem that's heavy in the most ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² non-traditional of senses, building ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ with dynamic energy into a crescendo ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² with a chorus that is perhaps The End ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß of Heartache's biggest reward. "When ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ Darkness Falls," heard during the closing ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² credits of Freddy Vs.

With "Breathe Life" he ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ delivers a heartfelt optimism that ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² really makes the track pop with, ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ "breathe life/ for you are not alone/ ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² breathe life/ inside your heart of ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß stone." ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² The current version of Killswitch is ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý rounded out by original members Mike D Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß (bass) and Joel Stroetzel (guitar) and ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß new drummer Justin Foley. Foley comes to ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ the band via Jones and his other current ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² project (Blood Has Been Shed). All the ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ members of this band bring to it a ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² respectability and integrity that ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß collectively has made a mark on bands ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ throughout the heavy music scene.

"The covers of all Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß the albums are just reflections of my ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß everyday life," he says. "I had this idea ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ when my personal life was at its lowest ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² point. I worked and reworked many times ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ over, but it was mostly finished last ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² April. We used it as inspiration for ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß the lyrics rather than the other way ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ around." ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý On The End of Heartache, Howard Jones Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß makes it abundantly clear that he was ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß the best choice to take the frontman slot, ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ thereby enhancing the band. Howard ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² shines as a frontman and that in turn ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ gives the rest of us in the band a bit ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² more confidence," Adam declares. "Now ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß there can be more antics and stupidity ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ on stage!" Their newly brewed chemistry ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² was put to the test during the album's ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý grueling recording sessions, during Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß which Adam did double duty - already a ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß well-established producer, in addition to ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ his axe-wielding duties he took on the ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² reigns behind the board. "It's the ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ hardest thing to do because I'm ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² playing too, it's a real roller ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß coaster," Adam says. ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ ÜÛÛßßþ ßÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛßßßÜ ÞÛÛ² "Writing this record was much more ²ÛÛÝ ÞÝ ÞÛÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÝ Üܲ²Û²Ý stressful than the last," Stroetzel Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÜÜÜÛÛÛß ßÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß adds. "Trying to write and tour at the ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß ßßÛÛÛßÜÛÛÛÛÛß same time was a major chore. On the other ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ hand, the line-up changes made me ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² excited to see how this record would ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ unfold. I'm really psyched about what ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² Justin and Howard have brought to the ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß table." ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛÜ ÜÛÛßßÛÛÛ ß Ü ÜÜÜÜÜ ÞÛÛ² All of which amounted to a Killswitch ²ÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛÝ ß ßßÛÛÛÜ Ü²²Û²Ý Engage mission statement more powerful Þ²Û²²Ü ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß ÞÛÛÛÝÜÛÛÛÛÛß than any the bands members had ever ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßß Ü ÜÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛß imagined. And one that's sure to further ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ßßÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛß ßÜÜ entrench their place at the center of ÜÜß ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ÞÛ² the burgeoning new movement of ²ÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÛÛÝ ÛÛÛÝ down-to-earth bands that have shed the ÞÛÛÛ ÞÛÛÛÛÛ ßÛÛÛÛÛÜ ²ÛÛ² pretensions of heavy metal's checkered ²ÛÛ² ÜÛÛÛÛÛß ßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß past while embracing everything positive ßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛß²ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÜ and powerful the genre has ever offered.
