The final tour date of Killswitch Engage was bound to be messy: a royal bloodbath. It looked like it was going to be crazy from the moment Disarm the Descent hit the shelves, with rock fans flocking to hear what Jesse sounded like being back with Killswitch. What you hear on the album is nothing compared to what they sound like live.
Anyone familiar with the play of Macbeth knows that the witches brewed poisoned entrails, toad venom, fillet of a fenny snake, eye of a newt and any other thing they can use to create a spell. Now, it seems that they've tried it again, and cocked up, thus creating The Bunny The Bear. This isn't a bad thing – as a whole concoction of scream/clean vocals and party anthems, these are provided to make one hell of an album.
The name says it all for the Finnish quartet – an album potentially full of cliché horror punk lyrics, themes, music and just another band to laugh at for having a rather ludicrous name. However, take note that I used the word "potentially." It could have happened, there's no doubt about that, but having been to quite a few horror punk gigs myself, this album is something not to be laughed at and dismissed easily. Containing near pop punk before divulging into massive breakdowns, this is one of the best releases I've heard of this year so far.
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.
