While itโs not about to reinvent the wheel, and might stand in the shadow of yesteryearโs Headbangers Ball staples, this is a fantastic encapsulation of what made this wave of metalcore so special.

Throughout the peaks and valleys, some noteworthy, others somewhat fleeting, This Consequence is a record that conveys a way back to their roots, resilience, and perseverance, reminding us that one can overcome adversity and emerge stronger if we keep fighting for something better.

This Consequence demands to be heard and Killswitch Engage shall atone no more.

Produced once again by the band's Adam Dutkiewicz and teased by the powerhouse singles "Forever Aligned" and "I Believe," the album delivers another potent dose of their trademark sound mixing brutal, chugging riffs with soaring, melodic choruses.

Killswitch Engage are impressively angry and anthemic – but inconsistent – on ninth album This Consequence.

Honestly, I don't have much to say about this one. I mean it's what Killswitch have been doing for so many years, except there's maybe a slight twist with slightly more modern production, but generally it's rinse and repeat the same blend of Melodic Metalcore. And it's decent.
There's really nothing bad about it. It's just that I've heard so many better albums in this genre, not only in general but also from Killswitch. Why is this necessary exactly? It ... read more

This album risks losing perspective on how today it can be considered a "masterpiece", an album worth 100.

We are so back!
Charlie: YEAH-HA WE'RE SO BACK!
PD: AW HELL YEAH, WE ARE SO BACK!!!
WE'RE BACK, EVERYONE!!!
Charlie & PD: WOOOOOOOO!!!
I've been excited about this new album. Killswitch Engage has always been a fantastic metalcore band for a long time, ever since they've been a thing back in the 2000s. This band has been a big inspiration for everybody in that scene, and their music is genuinely amazing. This is the same band that made bangers like My Curse, The End ... read more
I remember liking these guys a lot as a teenager. Glad to see they're still at it.
Favorite song is "Discordant Nation"
Least favorite song is "The Fall of Us"
Was a huge fan of this band in the early days with Howard Jones on vocals.. Haven't listened to much since Jessie Leach returned.. but this new album is fire.
