Killswitch Engage are back with their original singer Jesse Leach, and this has caused a lot of controversy among fans. The first two albums released by the band cemented them as the founders of metalcore, and they gained much more popularity during the Howard Jones era, despite having a weak second self-titled album before he left. Now, Killswitch Engage have to win back fans with 'Disarm the Descent' – if it's good, then the fans will stay, but if it isn't, then the band might as well not stay together. After listening to the album, I'm going to conclude what it's like now: 'Disarm the Descent' practically shits on all of the band's discography: it's nothing short of amazing.
This album has EVERYTHING that you could ever want in a metal album: a great intro, a full and varied body, and a capstone that sums up the album as a whole. It's not exhaustingly long or overwrought with songs that were forced into it to meet a quota to make it an album vs. an EP, and it is interesting enough to keep listening to, allowing you to discover new features to savor as you plow through the tracks again and again.
Post-Hardcore/Pop-Metal? That's the odd label that the six-piece Apparitions call themselves, but there's no real evident genre present in their latest album.
Voices and Vessels waste no time in the three track EP "Those Who Deceive." It's structured to be one of those records that are good enough to be melodic and lure you into a sense of sweet security, before punching you in the face and telling you to wake up.
Every once in a while, a great band you've never heard of crosses your path, or a great album from a previously lackluster band grabs you by the balls and gets your attention. Sadly this is neither of those.

Determination. Dedication. Honor. These aren't just words. These are mantras followed by Spoken, which sets them aside in the music industry. Those words define the passion by the which this band takes on the world. With their new album, Illusion, releasing on 02/12/2013, this band has achieved a new pinnacle in modern rock. RockRevolt Magazine enjoyed a wonderful afternoon talking to Spoken's very own Matt Baird about their new album, Illusion!
