killdisarmcdbigWhen bands change singers, strange things happen.  Usually fans and critics are divided into two camps, one of which is adamant about how much better the original vocalist was and the other side is equally adamant about how much better the new vocalist is.  Killswitch Engage is a band in that same situation with the release of Disarm the Descent as this album marks the return of original vocalist Jesse Leach.    A less than scientific survey of thoughts on the album catalog of Killswitch Engage reveals that the majority of critics and fans feel that Alive or Just Breathing (2002) was the band’s best work and since that album features Jesse Leach on vocals, it’s easy to imagine the anticipation for Disarm the Descent.

From my perspective, I never listened to Killswitch Engage until The End of Heartache which featured Howard Jones on vocals, so I don’t have this Alive or Just Breathing bias by any means.  After all, as reviewers we should be free from bias anyways, right?  Of course, we all know that is not entirely true, but at least I don’t have this particular bias.  Continue reading »
